Happy Mario Monday! I’m feeling sentimental today, and this art from Vinny P. — known as Dingity Dingus — hits me right in the heart.
Most of you know the reason I celebrate Mario Monday is that Rader loved all things Mario. Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii was our family-favorite game. Hearing music from this game puts me right back on the couch with the four of us eagerly accompanying Mario on his adventures. The music you hear during this process video is a clip of Good Egg Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy.
Dingity Dingus is a digital artist/animator who is the same age as Rader, who would be turning 21 this year. I admire Vinny’s work so much, and it helps me feel closer to Rader, who also loved to create and share things to an online audience. If you want to know more about the creative pursuits Rader was passionate about, visit our Rader’s Games page.
