The A to Z of Awesomeness
Posted by Patrick Sauriol on Friday, July 3, 2009
Neill Cameron's A-Z of Awesomeness is like what would happen if all the worlds of pop culture collided. The premise is this: take one letter of the alphabet and design an image that goes with the word but instead of making it along the lines of "A is for Apple," you go nuts and mash together two or three geeky things that you would never imagine going together, like Indiana Jones meeting Doctor Who. Cameron, a comic book illustrator, is creating the picture dictionary of all things geek one letter at a time. Several of his creations border on the insane, the genius and the downright disturbing.
Consider how he kicked things off with the letter A: "A is for Aztecs in Atomic Armour Attacking Anomalous Amphibians." Sounds pretty complicated but not too crazy, right? "B is for Buffy bravely battling Beezlebub," was the second letter Cameron tackled...and then the comic book universes really collided with C: "C is for Captain Britain cuddling with Cerebus."
Cameron is up to T now but already several of his picture dictionary creations have emerged as my favorites, like the cheesecake image of a nude Joss Whedon lying down on a fur rug for the letter J, or the one of a Time Lord from Doctor Who sharing a cup of tea with Tintin in a remote location.
