The Seven Deadly Sinners

Who Fears The Devil?

Done up for the Film Stock poster show at Bird Dog Video, my poster is for a mythical adaptation of the classic 1963 collection of early Silver John stories by Manly Wade Wellman (I'm pretending that the sorta-sucky 1973 movie based on the same book just doesn't rightly exist).

If ever the genre of what could be called "feel-good horror" (for lack of a better term) had a presence, it's within these stories. Wellman's later Silver John novels (ca. early '80s) also kick major amounts of Shonokin ass, not to mention the collective asses of the other nefarious denizens spooking up the Appalachians.

The Men in the Walls

My submission for the  Bird Dog Video show "Film Stock". Artists were asked to create a poster for an existing or fictitious movie; this is my poster for a cinematic version of William Tenn's "Of Men and Monsters". All the actors and "little people" are characters from other writing by Mr. Tenn, and The Wooden Star is a book of his collected short stories.
