Acrylic on canvas, "Conan The Last Hero" by Paul Stinson. This was a conceptual painting created by Stinson at the direction of Stephen Pierson, owner of Earth-Art Graphics Inc. and Fantasy Castle Inc. Pierson provided the following information: Paul Stinson, an award-winning illustrator, painted this approximately in 1978, prior to the casting of Arnold Schwarzenegger. The painting was used initially for the production and sale of a poster by Earth-Art Graphics, and Stinson used Schwarzenegger as a model for the character in hopes of influencing the filmmaker's decision on casting. To my knowledge this was the only painting done at that time with Schwarzenegger's image of the character. Subsequently, the movie came out in 1982 with poster art by a different painter. This painting was used in a very successful fantasy art calendar, as well as the published poster art, prior to release of the film. 40 by 30 inches Categories:
