I was introduced to Kevin Tong's work a few month ago and it wasn't long after that this print started tugging at my heart strings. Admittedly, at first glance I didn't think much of it. After all, when you take a cursory look all it seems to be is a female figure with some kind of graphic heart. Of course it's nicely done in that regard, but maybe just a little on the shallow side.
But wait!--what are those things falling from the top of the print? Could they be?
By George, I think they are!
They're Tetris pieces that are falling into place to form her heart. And if you look closer, her bellybutton is comprised of old Nintendo control pad keys. To round out this clever analogy Kevin Tong even introduces a gaming pun into the title of the piece, "My Tetris Heart Longs For Your Push."

Sadly, this print has been sold out for a while. But if any of you stumble across it for sale, please let me know! I absolutely have to have it.
