Ode to Geek


How many Geek references can you spot?! 89 in all! When I was first asked to create a print for the Generation Geek gallery show in Bourges, France for Geek-Art, I was surprisingly stumped. Not because I couldn't think of what to do, but because there were too many options. The theme was Geek History from the past to the present, a pretty open topic, so... where to start?! My initial thought was to involve Godzilla. Then I decided to draw just a few more of my favorite characters from science fiction and fantasy from the last century; from books, comic books, cartoons, movies, video games etc. - the ones that inspired and wowed me from childhood to today.
You know, just a few. Then it got personal. What happened next was this, a print depicting my own geek history, my ODE to GEEK.

**** NOTE: There are 9 characters of my own creation filtered throughout the piece. If you can find 'em all, by process of elimination I suppose, message me, describe them, tell me where they are & you shall get a prize! :)
