Thanks, I love it as well! The female model became a Penthouse Magazine Pet and her name slips me at the moment. Roger had told me years back. I think he painted her even more beautiful than her magazine shoots.

I had bought two from different auctions and the others all came from Roger years back. I decided to post them because his son just did a story on his dad in the new issue of Illustration magazine.

One night when he was sound asleep I snuck into his studio and loaded up my car...

Actually, I had bought the 50 Horror Stories a long time ago, and then I, The Hangman was in Heritage several years back and then I bought it more recently from the person who won it there. Everything else comes directly from Roger. I used to be in touch with him for a few year period before he moved from his studio and home and I've lost touch since then, sadly. I've been to his old place a couple times and over that period I bought any of his earlier work that he had offered to me. He's one of the greats and not as well known as some od the other guys so glad his son did the big story on him in the new Illustration Magazine issue which prompted me to post all the ones I own.

I bought this paperback when it came out and carried it around with me in 7th grade. Although I did read a bunch of it, it was the cover that I loved and why i carried it around! I did that with a bunch of paperbacks back then and have since been able to find the original art for many of those books. Those hold a real special place in my collection...

They do have some similarities. He's a bit more detailed than Abbett I think. Both are top illustrators though. Some of the best!

Thanks! The colors are like the framed art pic and the book cover. it's not so blue like it shows. i just don't have a scan of it because it's huge and too difficult to scan!

Beautiful!

...but this one beats the skeleton!

one of the best ones!

He's nutjob from Atlanta that spends all his money on dirty paintings.

Jeff knew so many artists and repped a bunch of them back in the seventies so he had asked most of them to do a John Willie Tribute for him in their own style.

Congrats Zaddick for getting this one!

Great stuff!

Wow, great score! Lucky you...

Let's hope so!

I'm just early for September!

And i lost!

I couldn't resist...

yeah, he was big on borrowing from other pop culture imagery. if you look at the cover of the newest edition of the

sin-a-rama book you'll see the same usage in his art again!

coool! i've always loved this one! nice score!

Holy coooowwww! Fantastic that you got it! Congrats! 

cool piece!

this might shed a little more light on the history of it:

He's actually one of my favorite artists! I love his paperback covers as well. He worked for many, many years on bondage publications, magazine covers, LP record labels, and paperbacks (tons of adult publications) and one of the few african americans to work in this field. He painted more of these Eerie publications covers than any of their other artists. These comic mags were the most influential horror comics for my childhood way more than Eerie and Creepy! And, they are super rare. All but twenty or so were destroyed by the publisher's wife and a friend of mine owns over half of them, so not many out there. I will be listing a bunch of his paperback covers eventually.

It's one of four of my wife's favorite paintings i own! Maybe it's a fantasy of hers...

it's crazy stuff!

my wife posed for it! haha, yeah right. she actually hates spanking but doesn't care as long as it's not hanging in the bedroom. she's japanese and from the land of bondage but doesn't like that either and the main part of my collection is vintage bondage art. 

You should have bought it! I'd have more money for Glynn's auction,then!

A gun moll dame doll!

I don't know where to begin with posting these things. I did just get it framed so I finally made a high res scan of it.

It was really dirty when I got it and my restorer worked miracles. It didn't need any touch ups, just filthy.

his signature was cropped out on this particular book cover. he signed these early chariot covers though. some you can see on the books themselves. i think he signed most of his paperback covers which were few and far between.

That's not third level, that's first level!

Thanks! When I went and picked it up and saw it in person I couldn't believe how vivid it was. like it was just painted.

Haha. No, it's my expression every time i pick up two killer babes!

Fantastic! Stop showing off!

Sexy Bonfils babe!

i can't believe the guy sold it to me!

36-24-36

The girls of my dreams!

i took your advice john, and used it to cover a broken window in the back shed.

you have the great stuff in your collection!!

The hands were the first thing that struck me when i saw it in person! Of course, I then looked at her butt...

Thanks, i'm happy. When did you hear about it's existence? We're you at the San Diego show?

Thanks!
