His subjects vary, however each has a well-known appearance that allows Tibo's pixelated art to be as minimalist as possible. His work includes superheros and villains like Batman, Iron Man, Captain America, Wolverine and Darth Vader.

Tibo is said to create his pixel superheroes using a website called 'Stickaz,' which was created by himself and a few colleagues. His collection of the simplistic superheroes has been deemed the 'Mini-Heroes' -- with the appearance of the pieces making them look like costumed toddlers.
