"The Cat and the Canary" and the "Sayer of the Law" by Joe Laudati

From last years Resintopia I've got these two gems I couldn't resist, sculpted by GK-Veteran Joe Laudati. "The Cat and the Canary" and the "Sayer of the Law". the first figure comes from the silent movie classic with the same name by Paul Leni, the other kit is  Bela Lugosi as the "Sayer of the Law" from the second version of H.G. Welles "Island of lost souls". Both were released by Mickey and Mallory Models and usually available through Sassy's Satellite via Ebay. Painted with Vallejo acrylic paints and MIG enamel washes. Enjoy!

White Skin of the Black Market: Women in Cages!

 »Women in Cages« is an exploitation flick from 1971, produced by the legendary Roger Corman. This illustration, based on the movie, was done for the DVD Label Subkultur Entertainment and their line of retro-style hardbox editions. Playing around in Photoshop I created a bogus poster design using the copy/taglines of the original release poster. The illustration was painted in acrylics on paper, 2012.

Unaltered illustration 30 cm x 40 cm.

Restored!

A Spanish lady in her eighties, Cecilia Gimenez, recently set the Internet and art world on fire. Her curious attempt to restore the fresco "Ecce Homo" by Elias Garcia Martinez in the Sanctuary of Mercy Church near Zaragoza made world wide news. So the net buzzed with more attempts of restoration based on her depiction of Jesus many refer to as "Beast-Jesus" (clearly related to an Ewok). You can see the hilarious results of Mrs. Gimenez brave act at the tumblr page of the Beast-Jesus Restoration Society.

So I couldn't resist....

DINOSAURUS!

 

Recently done: A retro-style illustration for the 60ties Matinee classic »Dinosaurus!« by Irwin S. Yeaworth.

Inspired by the works of Klaus Dill and other German movie poster artists of the 50ties and 60ties I went for a more stylized, "graphic" approach, with bold, black outlines and screaming colors. For the (fun) version above I reused and tweaked the typography from the original US one-sheet poster. 

The actual illustration was used for Subkultur Entertainment's line of limited retro hard box re-packages, celebrating the good ol' VHS rental aesthetics. Grab it while you can, it's limited to 150 units only!
