HELLBOY
I'm not a huge fan of graphic novels but I do really like the style of Mike Mangola's Hellboy series, I also thought that the two Guillero del Torro Hellboy films were excellent
Rich, deep red padauk is used in this inlay along with maple for the face. The eyes are yew and the jacket is walnut

DARK KNIGHT
A feature of all my inlay work (all inlay work in general really) is how the use of different woods work together with the deep black of ebony. This graphic novel Batman inlay is cut from walnut, ovangkol and yew, the black ebony is used to provide the dark shadow and feel of the piece
