In the current mix of pop culture artists with high level exposure, I don’t know that there is an artist more whimsical than Scott C. I’ve featured some of his work in the past, but if you’ve seen any of the big nerd gallery shows, bounced around Tumblr or well, just resided at all on the web, chances are you’ve seen and loved his work.

Scott’s work comes from a wonderful world where even conflict is met with a smile, and there’s no better showcase of his watercolor wonders than his ongoing project Great Showdowns.

Well, the spotlight on his work is about to get much brighter, as this October, a collection of these face-offs is due to hit shelves, titled appropriately enough, The Great Showdowns.

Here’s the official log line for the book:

Han vs Greedo. Chief Brody vs Jaws. Die Hard’s John McClane vs broken glass. Scott Campbell’s classic Great Showdowns series, showing strangely good-natured confrontations between your favourite movie characters, finally gets the book collection fans have been demanding!

“In this beautifully funny chronicle of the world’s most momentous confrontations, there is only one true victor. And his name is Scott Campbell.“ — Edgar Wright
