In the photo series “Video Games vs. Real Life,” London-based graphic designer & illustrator Aled Lewis inserts classic 8-bit video game characters into pictures he’s taken from his travels around the world.

Lewis also designs some deliciously geeky T-shirts, which are available to purchase on his website.

Hit the jump to see Donkey Kong hiding in the Rwanda jungle, Koopa cruising around an unnamed beach in the Caribbean and four others.
