I was never much of a Duck Hunt fan. That damn dog just laughed at me whenever I missed a shot. But anything Nintendo that is also a lamp is all good in my book. Here’s a qoute from the Nintendo Goddess who made it:

“A regular cartridge was too small a base, so I measured one and made a 1.5 scale replica out of cardboard, and screwed the gun to it. I weighted it with stones, and then tackled the shade.

I picked up a $2 shade at the re-store, a pack of fun foam, and voila! After hours and hours of cutting pixellated shapes, I was done! A little dab of glue to secure the shade, and… ta dah!”

Girls devoting their time and energy to all things Nintendo please me… She’s welcome here at PopTherapy anytime. Maybe we can make a Mega-man lamp together, then hump to an NES game theme.

It’s a dream of mine.

The Moonwalk lamp by Thomas De Lussac, is made of lacquered aluminum and available in several colors. Soon an army of them will be on the march, like a million little men that just had a bright idea.

They certainly make a statement. And that statement is, “I’m scared!”
