There’s a Downtown Portland Art Contest Going on but You Have to Look Up

It just got real. After putting up Post-It note art on our office window with my son Jake, the office across the street has gotten into the act. Now we need to 1UP them!

In case you missed it last week, my son Jake and I spent a couple hours on a Saturday vastly improving our Digital Managing Editor's attempt at making 8-Bit art on his window with Post-It Notes.

We were pretty proud of our work but didn't think too many people would notice it because you'd have to look up four floors of One City Center from Federal Street to see it. We forgot about the people on the same floor across from us in Two Monument Square.

If you know anything about 8-Bit Nintendo games, you know that's Link and the Triforce from the original 'The Legend of Zelda,' and in the background across the street you can see our Mario and fireball flower from 'Super Mario Bros.'

The game is on now! We have to come up with something even better, but I don't really want to take Mario and the flower down. If you watched the video above you saw that Stephen Lenz loves it, but the two offices on either side of him with windows are sales managers. They might not be so cool, especially if new Post-It art on their office windows is classic video games.

I'm thinking this one over and am trying to come up with a plan. Do you have any ideas on what we should create to 1UP (get it?) Zelda? Let us know in the comments below or on Facebook and Twitter. In the meantime here's a video I made that shows you the planning that went into creating our Mario and flower so you can try making some of your own Post-It note art.
