Conan Poster 1
- CONAN POSTER 1 - An acrylic painting on a 16 x 20 size canvas board. This is the first of three "Conan" poster paintings I did for Fictioneer Books in 1976. The Conan figure in the painting also appears on the dust jacket of the book, "Wings in the Night" by Robert E. Howard, published by Wildside Press in 2005.
The three posters were quite a challenge for me because they were done early in my career and I was a bit unsure of myself as yet, but poster art was another part of publishing that could be added to my source of income so I tried to do a proper job. The contract I had with the publisher gave me a choice of accepting a flat fee for the artwork, or receiving periodic royalty payments based on sales. I was so unsure of myself that I was afraid the posters might not sell very well so I accepted a flat fee. I have no idea of how well they sold, the publisher was not obligated to send me sales figures since I selected a flat fee.
