Description 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.  What happened next was this, a print depicting at my own personal geek history, my Ode to Geek!

Nice big detail and print shots here! Characters list coming...

Woo ! Awesome work ! Is it possible to print it in order to use it as a decoration poster in a webserie i'm going to film soon (and you will be of course credited in credits) ? It will be a french webserie broadcast for free on a youtube channel. One of the character is a Sci-Fi/Video Game culture fan and i would love to see this picture on a poster in the foreground, on a wall of his bedroom. Is this possible ? Thanks in advance for your answer !

Wow, this is completely epic! Have you read the novel 'Ready Player One' by Ernest Cline? If not I cannot recommend it highly enough to you.... this would make a superb cover for the book. You've done an outstanding job!
