2009 seems to be the year of “2D classic gaming sprites turned into 3D”.
A few months ago, we brought to your attention some great golden-era arcade-themed artwork (resin castings) by Melissa Jones.
Sevens Heaven also produces some similar 2D-to-3D transformation artwork, except their medium is raytraced posters on canvas.
A selection of Seventh Heaven posters
Sure the usual arcade suspects are there (DK, Pacman, Galaga) but they’ve also gone a little bit more obscure (Amidar, Ladybug) and even branched into C64 titles (Impossible Mission, Monty on the Run)
Sevens Heaven is a Dutch company, and currently only ships their canvases to the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Pity.
Credit: I can’t find the link now, but I’m pretty sure I saw this a while ago on Arcade Heroes.

Many thanks for featuring my work in your blog, much appreciated. I’d like to add that all 3D pixel artworks are now available internationally at http://sevensheaven.imagekind.com
