Katamari Damacy’s Prince, Gauntlet’s Wizard, and Mario by Jeremy Tinder. All four of these pieces will appear at Giant Robot SF’s “Game Over 3” show, which kicks off next week. You can see more artwork and a flyer from the event at GameSetWatch.
I attended this show last year (in between GDC and a rushed drive to Simi Valley for my cousin’s wedding) and it was fabulous, so I’m really bummed I can’t make it this time around. I should get around to posting the Kazimir Strzepek piece I bought from the show last year; apparently, he’s contributing more art for “Game Over 3”.
L.A. gallery Las Cienegas Projects is also running a neat exhibit titled “Trail of Broken Heart” (a clever title and the name of a Dragonforce song), which features Legend of Zelda items brought to life by Sky Burchard.
Sky’s friend Jonathan Bilski posted some great photos from the show (and disparages “Game Over” in his write-up) on his blog. I love the Magical Boomerang!

Custom Noby Noby Boy and Katamari Damacy PSP-3000. I have no idea where this grainy image came from, but I spotted it in Fort90’s latest round-up of alternative gaming news/media. I wouldn’t mind owning this, though the (cute) faces and lines painted on the screen would make it hard to actually play games with the system.
[Update: Brandon, who posted the photos combo, pointed out in the comments that Katamari/NNB creator Keita Takahashi himself painted the PSP for a giveaway.]

Good to know that the man is pretty much as quirky as everything else around the game.
Here’s the song:

I was wondering what the big deal was when Namco Bandai announced that Ms. Miku would be lending her talents to the DSiWare game’s soundtrack. It makes a lot more sense to me, now. Here’s the original.
And here’s a video of Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy that was snuck out when no one was looking:

What’s more notable than the PS3 game itself is that it features cover versions of the original Katamari soundtrack from a bunch of cool artists. Check out that snippet of “A Crimson Rose and a Gin Tonic” by YMCK!
Also, the talking animal pictures. I love it!

If you’re wondering how a DSiWare puzzler based on the Katamari Damacy brand works, here’s a demonstration! The music isn’t from the game; the original footage had no audio, so I dropped in some “Danketsu”. The actual soundtrack will feature the “Katamari of Love” ending theme performed by vocaloid sensation Hatsune Miku.
Namco Bandai will release Korogashi Puzzle Katamari Damacy on the DSi’s download service next week for 500 Nintendo points in Japan. Siliconera also has a detailed description on how the title will likely play, comparing its mechanics to Pac-Attack.

Anna the Red is still the undisputed queen of gamer bento with this one, featuring an edible Prince pushing his food-katamari into anna’s boyfriend’s tummy. This tasty treat features curry (hidden inside the katamari rice ball) and tiny bits of sushi. It looks incredible — and Katamari Damacy fans should admire the attention to detail.

One of three prints from Cyberhadji’s set, “All in the Family,” now available on Etsy for $31.
Supposedly, this set has been around February, but I’ve never seen it, so maybe you haven’t yet either! Also, it’s way cute.
There are also Link/Zelda prints that look somewhat new, if that’s more your thing. This guy must be making wacky bucks from this simple, adorable concept.
[Thanks, Alexis!]
