In early 2025, I was asked to create ten Superman artworks for Upper Decks DC Legendary deck building game. Here is how I approached drawing an icon who has to feel powerful, human and hopeful. Published by: @upperdeckent #DC #Superman #UpperDeck #Comics #Illustration

Wayne Nichols @waynenichols.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

Superman in the Fortress of Solitude I wanted him to feel iconic against the towering crystal forms, with the icy environment making the red and blue of the suit really pop. At the same time, I wanted to suggest that beneath the bold exterior is someone thoughtful, sensitive and deeply caring.

IN A WORLD OF HER OWN (2016) Acrylic on Canvas - 36" x 48" This painting arose from musing on an interview that Stanley Kubrick gave in 1968, a source of inspiration I have gone back to over the years, revisiting comments made by the director. 1/3

Against the paneled concrete wall of a massive chamber, a stone sphere hovers as if by magic. The outer surface is polished and patterned with overlapping 5-pointed stars. Light from a simple bulb hanging inside fills the sphere with warm light. At the edge of a circular opening, a little girl in pink dress sits reading with her feet and the blanket beneath her dangling unsupported. The metal frames that structure the concrete wall have thoroughly rusted. Much of the stone is dingy and cracked. Eroding at the top of the chamber, the wall gives way to a view of a sliver of crescent moon in the blue night sky.

I had the pleasure of designing an official Deadpool X Wrexham artwork for Marvel Stadium in Melbourne. The mural itself was painted up by Apparition Media. This was a fun project, mixing Marvel mayhem, football energy, and the chaos of multiple Deadpool variants plus Wolverine on the pitch. ⚽
