Astro Gaming Artist Series
Penny Arcade's Krahulik and Jerry Holkins are the first guests.
(San Francisco, CA) July 10, 2009. ASTRO Gaming is proud to announce that Penny Arcade's own Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, AKA “Gabe” and “Tycho”, will be the first featured artists in the ASTRO Gaming Artist Series, with the introduction of the Cardboard Tube Samurai Edition of the A40 Audio System.
Krahulik and Holkin's influence on the modern digital canvas has been profound to say the least. The pair stand astride a broad array of characters that populate the Penny Arcade universe, as seen for the past decade every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at www.penny-arcade.com. Krahulik's iconic art has launched scores of promotional campaigns, including: Ubisoft, Vivendi, and the ESRB; five compendium Penny Arcade books; and a collectible card game honoring the characters on the strip. Most recently, Krahulik's artistry and Holkin's laugh-out-loud dialog anchor PA's very own game title: Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness.
Besides Gabe and Tycho themselves, none of the PA characters are so beloved as the honorable and badass Cardboard Tube Samurai, and we at ASTRO Gaming are honored to have him rock our inaugural Artist Series of products.
The A40 Cardboard Tube Samurai Edition consists of the award-winning Astro A40 Headset and MixAmp™ along with a custom triptych of CTS Speaker Tags. These highly collectable CTS Speaker Tags are also available separately or as part of the standalone A40 CTS Headset.
