1982-Style X-Men - Back in 1982 I was given my first issue of Uncanny X-Men, issue number 155 ( http://www.comicvine.com/the-uncanny-x-men-first-blood/37-22027/ ). This is the team that starred in that issue. Having only ever really encountered Batman, Superman, The Incedible Hulk, and Spider-Man up to that point, these characters seemed totally strange and mystifying to my six-year-old brain (not to mention seeing a hero bleeding and dead looking on the cover!).

Oh, Canada! - This piece is a little tribute to Incredible Hulk number 181, wherein is the first appearance of Wolverine. Dig it.

Gojira! 2010 - So, I took a whack at updating Gojira (Godzilla) for 2010 while still keeping a lot of the old-school motifs of the big G. I kept the big eyes, anthropomorphic hands, lumpy scales, and general campiness while making him more of a theropod dinosaur. The original idea that Eiji Tsuburaya and Tomoyuki Tanaka settled on was a Tyrannosaurus chasis with Iguanodon hands and Stegosaurus dorsal plates (only after scrapping two other concepts). I plan on doing a more monstrous, less campy version later.

X-Men Re-Conceptions 01 - This is a re-imagining/re-conception of the early costume evolution of Wolverine. It goes from the First Canadian Superhero/Special Agent in Incredible Hulk 181, through the "All New, All Different" X-Men, to the "Brown & Orange" costume.

X-Characters in Scale - A few X-Men characters re-conceived and put next to each other in scale to each other. Fun stuff. I wanted to do Storm and Colossus too but didn't have the time.
