Bob Peak Copy for a Wedding

Image result for camelot movie poster
The client for this image is getting married, and he wanted a "movie poster" to display at the reception. He asked that I copy the Camelot poster by the illustrious Bob Peak, so I can't take credit for the main images in the center, as I slavishly copied Mr. Peak's original work to the best of my ability.

CONAN THE CIMMERIAN: THE TOMB OF VENDHYA


The latest commission, this one for Mr. Charlie Sullivan my longest-running client (over 20 years now). The woman is Debra Paget, star of Fritz Lang's THE INDIAN TOMB (and Elvis Presley's first female co-star). In Conan mythology, the region that eventually became India is called Vendhya. The top left image of Conan is from an unpublished sketch of Conan by Barry Windsor Smith, which I inked after flipping the head to face the opposite direction. My idea was to make this an alternate universe cover where in 1974 Savage Sword of Conan was not the second Conan comic book, but Conan the Cimmerian was.

Ah-oooo! Werewolf of London!

Since the mid-nineties, back when I worked at Time Warp Comics in Boulder, Colorado, I've periodically created black-and-white drawings of classic horror-movie characters for one particular client, Mr. Sullivan. I consider him my first client, so it's a pleasure to still be doing new entries in the series decades later.

Depicted here is Henry Hull as the Werewolf of London, from the film of the same title. Werewolf of London is the earliest extant werewolf film (the first werewolf film was 1913's silent The Werewolves, but all known prints have been destroyed).
