This comes out of nowhere like a dormant volcano to explode with colors and energy!  While the background has fantasy painting work, the heroes in the foreground show illustration line art in high detail.  


Thank you, Marcus, for your comment. Michele definitely deserves more attention with his art.

The corsshatching is great to bring about the gradients of the underlighting!  Those eyelids are delicately done under that big heavy brow.  The spray work is real fine too in order to get more depth into the iconic face.


Thank you, Marcus. Boris Karloff was the perfect casting for Frankenstein's monster, and Gary portrayed him wonderfully in this role.

You're probably right, Marcus, I've only got as far as the first scene of the movie so far and it's already turned my stomach...

That dark contrast for th eyeshadow almost makes it look like she's wearing a traditional domino mask!  That platinum hair has a very fine shine!  Devilshiously beautiful and bountiful! 


Yes, Marcus, the devilish note is clearly recognizable and strikes the perfect balance between frightening and attractive.

The coat of varnish seals in the colors of all that heat!  One where it looks like she has wings one of fire and the other of smoke.

Those patterns behind her are like wings that have been taken away from her as she laments the a more secular path to strike down sins with her sword!


What a wonderfully philosophical interpretation, Marcus! Perhaps we should ask Lorenzo what he was thinking. He probably doesn't remember, because the picture is over 20 years old. But I think your interpretation could fit.

Fun choose your own adventure book!  It's like you're caught in between a Samurai and Roger Moore as Bond in the early 80's.


Yes, Marcus, that fits perfectly! And I even saw Roger Moore's James Bond films at the movies. Moonraker was one of the first films I watched as a teenager.

Dead on likenesses!  Painted to look like a paperback crime mystery novel or movie poster and succeeds on many levels if you watched the show on CBS or not.  


In fact, I'm still waiting for my first original movie poster by Renato Casaro, but Sanjulian comes very close with this painting.

Thank you for your comment on this portrait. Sean Connery is a legend, and I love his acting in The Name of the Rose even more than in The Untouchables.

B Norma Dickens, whoever you are, you get to live again!  Pretty interesting how they show the skin of the scalp so they have have hair on the female skeletons in robes instead of reaper cloaks.


Thank you Marcus, I also found the depiction of the skulls very interesting and exceptionally creepy. Segrelles has been a hero to me since his work on El Mercenario.

Marcus Wai said:

It cuts off the widescreen sides of the film to bring more focus and is painted to show Blondie's gentler side.  It is in keeping with the film's intention to signal to the audience who's the "good" guy out of all the killers. 

"Every gun makes it's own tune.  It's perfect timing, large one."  


"You see in this world there`s two kinds of people, my friend, those with loaded guns and those who dig."

I love this film, these quotes, the scene with the kitten in the bombed city - great cinema!

This is a very good painting of Clint Eastwood.  The facial expression is spot on.   The details are done very well. 


Thank you. The painting arrived today and I was thrilled. Forehead, wrinkles, eye area and mouth are perfectly hit, and the clothes were also exquisitely painted.

Great moment in movie twist history dating back to 1968.  Taylor is drawn the smallest, but his devastation has the biggest impact. 


Yes, Marcus, I also think that Thomas Thiemeyer has perfectly staged this magical moment. He also told me that as a book author he loves just these dystopian sceneries and therefore also has a special relationship to this painting. All the nicer that he sold it to me.

Sonja right at home in her element. Beautiful!


Totally agree with you. At first I was a bit irritated by her facial expression, but in the meantime I find that it perfectly fits the scenery and the orgasmic, intoxicating state that a female warrior like Red Sonja is possibly put into during such a slaughter.

Hi Ted, great collection you have. I am especially excited about the Sanjulian works. This preliminary study by the Spanish master already has all the elements that make the final oil painting so remarkable, and I am very proud of its recent acquisition.

I think it might have been a reduction or study done at the same time.  Its not new.


I think you're right, Mike. The differences are minimal, but noticeable. For example, on the leftmost spike of the axe and the holder of the axe head. Regardless, a great work of art by the Spanish master.

A full moon gives her a halo crown over this fashion model look.  Body language experts will tell you, "Stretching the arms up has the effect of elongating the torso and flattening out the abdominal region. At the same time, it’s an empowering pose: research shows that when we adopt open body postures, we feel more open and confident as well." 


Hello Marcus, Thank you for your comment. As always, enlightening and amusing. You could write books of apt analysis on comic art and fantasy art. Maybe you are already doing that. Keep up the good work!

In 1982 this perfect cover was also used for the German horror novel "Dr. Tods Rache" (issue 230 of the John Sinclair series). I loved it as a teenager and am still fascinated by it. Congratulations on this wonderful work in your great collection!
