YOU ONLY LIVE TWICE

 

I'm a huge fan of the original James Bond novels by Ian Fleming. They're the first adult books I ever read, starting back in second grade. I'm one of those annoying people who keeps saying, "I wish the Bond film producers would just re-adapt the novels, since many of them only ever utilized the titles, scrapping the plot itself." Really, I always say this, mainly to unsuspecting passersby who give me a disgusted look and run away.

So...I wanted to draw a scene from one of the novels that was never included in any of the films. This is the climactic battle of Bond vs. Blofeld beside a bubbling mud pit from the end of You Only Live Twice, the penultimate Bond novel by Fleming. Some day I'll get around to coloring it, but for now it's just black and white.

DENVER COMIC CON 2013 "FRENCH CAFE" POSTER
This here poster is the official variant poster to the 2013 Denver Comic Con (the "regular" poster was created by J. Scott Campbell). I was fortunate enough to be asked by one of the founders of the convention to create the poster. The Denver Comic Con merchandise booth got half the copies and I got the other half. I'm unsure of the total number of copies printed but I think it's around 150. I still have a few left so if you'd like one, please contact me at scorpiosteele@gmail.com for price. The size is 11" X 17".

HOT LEAD, HOT FURY

Here's an image I designed as a promo poster to garner financial interest from investors for the client's potential feature film. You can view the movie trailer here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swEcrFa3l1I , though none of the footage is from the actual, yet-to-be filmed...film. It will be shot entirely on 16mm to give it the authentic 1970s feel. The way I got this job is full of hard-to-believe, preposterous synchronicity, and if you write me or ask me, I'll tell you the circumstances. It's pretty long-winded, so... Well, anyway, click on the image for a super-sized version.

Another character from my upcoming graphic novel, THE YESTERDAY AFTER ALL THIS TIME. Le Zombi is a Haitian freedom fighter combating the US Marines when Haiti was occupied from 1915-1934.

PERDURABO Meets The PIE WENCH!

Another page from my upcoming opus: THE YESTERDAY AFTER ALL THIS TIME. The story itself is based on Chretien de Troyes' 12th century poem PERCEVAL, and many other versions of the Perceval myth (Peredur, Parzival, etc.).
