Today is the 100th anniversary of the birth of Bantam Doc Savage cover model Steve Holland. Look for the book "Steve Holland: The Torn Shirt Sessions" by Michael Stradford.

Gonna consider it finished.

16x20 oil on cotton duck. Master copy of James Bama’s ‘Tomboy’

Trust the process

#oilpainting #art #pulpnovels #jamesbama
A 16 x20 master copy of James Bama’s ‘Tomboy’. Oil on cotton duck Learned a few things on this, but mainly relearned a couple of things I’d gotten away from. Getting the skin tones to blend was the big relearn. Also, making the denim work was a challenge. Also, no black used in this. Not sure if Bama used it or not but I’m trying to keep some temperature working in the darks. I could spend a few more hours on the sidewalk (and tomorrow, who knows). Thanks for following along. Trust the process.

WIP Master copy of James Bama’s Tomboy.

I’ve blocked in the canvas today so tomorrow I’ll dive into the darks and, hopefully, the darker mid-tones along with tightening up the drawing.

A roughed in draft of a master copy of James Bama’s “Tomboy” 16x20 oil on cotton duck James Bama. Tomboy On the right side are B&W photo references he used TBH, the most intimidating is the background. So much going on and it’s loose but very tight in places. Studios decisions is really enlightening.

James Bama’s cover for The Spook Legion #16/'67 has the Man of Bronze fade from sight. A masterclass in Bantam's Doc Savage reinvention w/ripped shirt, ripped physique, & widow's peak. Oil on board, 12.75" x 20" #docsavage #jamesbama #pump #paperback #cover
The entire city of New York is swept up in a wave of terror, as an evil international conspiracy devises a crime so sinister that only Doc Savage and his five mighty cohorts can halt its fiendish plan. Led by a phantom master criminal with stupefying supernatural powers, the conspiracy sets trap after trap for Doc. Finally, in a fantastic underground empire, the fearless bronze giant and his courageous crew must fight for their lives against a diabolical enemy that cannot even be seen.

And yes, Harlan Ellison does the intro to Bama’s art book and also mentions the synchronicity of the names
