Toad – 2023 Inktober Dictionary Page Art Print by Amanda Vance

Part of Amanda Vance’s 2023 Inktober Series, where each illustration was originally drawn on authentic 1960s dictionary pages inspired by daily word prompts.

For the word “Toad”, Amanda playfully recreates the look of classic Nintendo characters in bold, pixel-style ink. Familiar 8-bit forms call back to Super Mario Bros., with blocky mushrooms, coins, and characters emerging from the text. The vintage dictionary page becomes a mashup of retro gaming nostalgia and hand-drawn creativity, making this piece both quirky and collectible.

Reproduced as a fine art giclée print on archival-quality paper, this edition preserves the crisp pixel linework and the aged texture of the dictionary page. Toad makes a perfect gift for fans of Mario, retro games, or playful wall art.
