Ha! Great examples. Thanks for pointing out the original blog post, as well. Maybe Mario will join his anti-gravity friends when he finally runs out of 1-ups…

And actually, the same argument could be made for anti-gravity as well (see e.g. puffy clouds beneath or enclosing angels, god’s hand, saints and sundry heavenly hosts). Here’s two canonical examples: Brunelleschi’s Bapistry competition panel (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Brunelleschi,_sacrificio_di_Isacco.JPG) and St. John on Patmos (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Saint_John_on_Patmos.jpg) from the Très Riches Heures. Mario won’t do here, alas.. maybe Portal? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal_%28video_game%29).
