Texas-based freelance illustrator Chet Phillips has produced a book containing Japanese-inspired illustrations of pop-culture characters.
Featuring characters from film, television and video games, they were designed with many Japanese elements.
For example, The Thing and The Hulk are portrayed to be fighting like sumo wrestlers, while Ultraman and Ultraman Zero can be seen flying kites with Mount Fuji in the backview.
