Even if you aren't familiar with the name, Tanner Petch, if you've followed the homebrew pinball scene or been to many of the major pinball shows over the last several years, you are likely familiar with his work. Tanner has created a number of wild pinball machines, but the most well-known one is probably his game "Trashland." His most recent game is "House of Flesh and Blood." I'll include pictures and short videos of his games below. It is unbelievable how many innovative and unique aspects there are in them. Beyond the interesting shots, Tanner's games are basically playable pieces of art, which makes sense given the fact that his college graduate program thesis involved building his own arcade with five working custom pinball machines. He ultimately brought many of these games to the Chicago Pinball Expo.
Below is a link to an article that the website Bong Boing published about Tanner's work several years ago and examples of his work:
