By the QMX Booth at the San Diego Comic Con exhibit floor, my brother and I had a chance encounter with Dr. Darryl Hwang. Dr. Hwang was carrying with him several large black canvas bags but once we started talking with him, we realized it was because he was promoting this amazing product, ComRad: The Art of Dr. Matt Skalski. These Star Wars-inspired images feature x-ray versions of popular icons. Dr. Hwang had with him three x-ray images, based on Darth Vader, Boba Fett, and classic Stormtrooper helmets. I had the chance to talk with Dr. Hwang a little more on what these were and what inspired these striking and amazing images: Dr. Hwang's colleague, Dr. Skalski, had come up with a prototype x-ray image of a Stormtrooper for the 100th anniversary of the Radiological Society of North America. Dr. Hwang recognized the unique opportunity and suggested they create more images and see if there was any interest by fans. They produced a few sets and brought them to Fanime earlier in 2016 but was met by limited interest. However, he understood that that was not the best market for these art images and Dr. Hwang brought them to this year's San Diego Comic Con to attract a better market. For my brother and I, at least, he was right. We purchased a set of the small, trading card sized images each, though Dr. Hwang also had larger images about the size of 8x10s and then full traditional x-ray sized images. These creations would be a great gift idea for medical doctors or fans of the franchise, or even those who are interested in a unique momento. The images below are based on the trading card sized images projected by a white background app on my cell phone. For the future, they hope to set up a booth at Comic Con, or other genre convention, if there is enough interest in the designs. Other designs are also being considered including a possible Iron Man inspired image. So, if you don't see them at local conventions, customers can reach them at their etsy site: www.etsy.com/shop/MSkalskiArt You won't be disappointed.
