Fresh Cuts
"I started creating pieces like these back in 2008, for my own enjoyment. I wanted to take some of my most beloved characters, worlds, and art and find a way to remix them in an attempt to squeeze new meaning out of the source material. Each person can look at a tableau and pull personal meaning from it. Everything comes from the source book, but the personal connection remains intimate and unique.”
- David “Das” Burke, co-owner of Doomnation Comics
