Description

Alternative Press Expo 2009

      Bill posted a British Lance Corporal for a charity event in 2008. It brought to mind the Howard Chandler Christy navy recruitment poster so I asked Bill to do this girl in a vintage US Navy uniform. Howard Chandler Christy biography by Jim Vadeboncoeur, Jr. My friend Lance made a great choice in asking for Red Hot Riding Hood from the Tex Avery MGM cartoon. Bill posted his APE commissions on his blog. Bill also brought copies of his French Artbook.

      Bill Presing is a story artist at Pixar Animation Studios. I discovered his (with Matt Peters) Rex Steele stories in the Monkeysuit comics anthologies before the collected edition in 2004. Rex is a 1940's American pilot fighting Nazi's. Alex Woo, now at Pixar, but a NYU animation student at the time, turned one comic short story into a student Oscar-winning animated short film. It is now available as a DVD.

      With the debut of his Belle Du Jour in San Diego 2007, Bill emerged as a sought-after pin-up artist. The limited edition with the painted bookplates sold out within hours. The French publisher Akileos published Rex Steele in a beautiful full-color hardcover edition with a DVD. Bill went on a French booksigning tour with an appearance at Angoulemne in January 2008. For San Diego 2008, Bill debuted his Bookplate Betties. In 2009, France's Edition Audie published their version of Belle as Bill Presing Artbook. In 2010, Bill and Josh Cooley released a deck of 54 International Cuties Playing Cards.
