Street Fighter IV sketch becomes most valuable piece of videogame art

Renowned UK artist Dave White has produced a one-off ink drawing to celebrate the launch of Street Fighter IV. Valued between £7,000 and £10,000, it also happens to be the most valuable piece of original videogame art ever!

White, whose previous work includes commissions for Nike and Coca Cola, sketched a 5ft x 4ft rendition of Ryu. The sketch was inspired by his love for Street Fighter and videogaming culture in general.

White commented: “For the past 18 years I have been playing Street Fighter in all its guises and versions. For me and millions of others it’s more than just a videogame, it’s a total obsession and way of life. Something more akin to the complex structure of chess, every match is different and every second offers chances and possibilities, risks and drama. That’s why I play.”

Street Fighter IV is available now for the PS3 and Xbox 360.
