Peeps of Art and Literature
Mash-Up: Disney / Star Wars
Usually, Mickey Mouse is always the one to be portrayed as Luke Skywalker, which does make more sense, but I've always loved Donald Duck and wanted to draw him as the hero from Tatooine.

Mash-Up: Dad Space / Simpsons
The Simpsons meets Dead Space by Joe Spiotto
This was an interesting one. I had moved onto Dead Space after wrapping up work on the Simpsons, but the game was still in development for about another year. I had some downtime on Dead Space, and I was lent out to The Simpsons team for about a week. I drew this up for the studio as an homage to what I knew was going to be a great classic game. The problem was that the Simpsons Game was going to be released before Dead Space was even announced. I'm not sure if it made it into the game or not, but they did turn this into a poster that was hung up around the studio for a while.
Sculpture: Junktimus Prime
The valiant leader of the Autobots, as fashioned out of recycled scrap metal, which gives him a vaguely steampunk-ish look. Seen in an artist's booth at the Fremont Solstice Festival. Price: $290
Mash-Up: The Serenity Club
The Breakfast Club: Inara as the Beauty, Mal as the Jock, Jayne as the Bully, Simon as the Nerd, River as the Creepy Girl.
Artist Kari Fry writes: "It was a tough call, but I had to make it a direct reference to The Breakfast Club poster, which is five characters. I thought about shoehorning more characters in, but I needed to stay true to the iconic original"
