John Byrne was my first introduction to comics. (To this day I can remember buying that issue of The Uncanny X-Men #143 off of a 7-11 comic rack in Florida.) Pictured above is one of the impossible machines of the Fantastic Four that John created. The sense of depth, detail, and possibility that it might somehow work or exist continues to captivate me. To say his art and design have been influential simply does not do justice to his contributions. While my drawings look nothing like his, it was my fascination with his creations that spurred my interest.
