After being commisioned to cover an entire train station consisting of 8-bit artwork, Finnish artist Lars Arrhenius went to work. The Thorildsplan Tunnelbana station, a train station in Stockholm, Sweden, was redecoratred in 2008.
  
The entire station is covered in artwork inspired by early 1980′s Nintendo games. The artowrk consists of Dig Dug, Pacman, Super Mario Bros, and Legend of Zelda.
It is a quite the popular piece of artwork. It has even been used in a video. MadCraft, a punkpop band from Finland, used the creation as a backdrop for the music video for the song NeverAgain.

Events can rock the world, we control our response
We here at the CaffiNation send our deepest thoughts and well wishes to the people affected by the Japanese Tsunami and Quake. The first segment in our show is dedicated to providing correct and sensible information on what we know and where you can help. one of the biggest problems with the news cycle of Mainstream sources is that they frequently pull in content and skew it off course. We will try to give you only best information.
Beyond tragedy the world continues to go on. So we have a good does of fun and uplifting nonsense as per usual. Nonsense is needed at any time, keeps the reality in perspective. The world is full of people who will lament the sorrows that are around and ask why other’s aren’t doing more. So what you can. Don’t be that guy. We have a ton of good, fun and offbeat stories to talk about. from T shirt rounds to Grilling goodies, Lego of course makes its almost weekly appearance, as does a Mario interlude, and some awesome video game news. We have a couple angry birds, a few nesting dolls and some beverages to review.
We’re constantly looking for awesome and fun content so make sure to contact us if you find a story or would like to contribute!

Finding Fun and Telling Tales
Tonight’s show is a fun mix of Content collect this past week. I actually like doing the show a bit more this way. I gotta say i felt a bit stagnant in how things were going it’s nice to bring in some fresh content and a new person to share with writing. Steve has been great. I hope you’re enjoying his articles. We cover ground from Pop culture interpretations of Video game Art (Angry Birdsky / a la warhol) to Modern looks at the early days of Exploration. history comes alive in color pictures from Shakelton’s 1915 assault on the south pole, Alas no scotch in that story.
We are also working on some fun new stories for the coming days, more reviews, more zombies, more sketching more Lord of the rings. Don’t just stay for the show, but bookmark us and ass us to your reader for later too!
