New Orleans-- The Wizard World New Orleans convention is taking off like a ROCKET at the end of this month, with illustrator Steve Scott as the featured artist for the William Shatner VIP print--Showcasing an image of Mr. Shatner paying homage to his highly collectible cover recordings that we know and love!
Yes, he was Captain Kirk, yes he was one of the best things about "Boston Legal," yes he was fantastic on "Bleep, My Dad Says," yes, we only use Priceline because of him-- But how many of you also know that Shatner has released covers of many popular tunes, including "Rocket Man," AND "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds?"
This cool cat VIP litho is full color and measures 11x17. Limited to 500 copies, the print is available to Shatner VIP's. It is also available at Steve Scott's table in artist alley for $20. while supplies last.
This is a perfect time to pick one up--any which way you can--and have Shatner sign it at the show.
And while you are at it, get Steve Scott--responsible for the design, straight to pencils, inks and colors--to sign it too. It's a great opportunity to meet this talented artist if you haven't already:
Steve was recently honored to finish out the legendary "Batman" series at DC Comics, leading up to the New 52. Currently his work will be seen on upcoming special issues of "Captain Victory" for Dynamic Forces, as well as some exciting creator-owned projects.
Milestone works for Steve included "X-Men Forever" with writer Chris Claremont, an amazing Green Lantern special project at DC Comics, and "Batman Confidential"! Not to mention that Steve is also the ONLY artist tapped by DC Comics to do any work relating to "Batman Forever," depicting the now legendary turn of Heath Ledger as The Joker. (Look for Steve's work in the Blue-Ray disc release of the movie!)
Steve is indeed certainly no stranger to media tie-in's. His work has also often been seen on the television show Smallville. As well as doing some darn good likenessess for the last "Indiana Jones--Tomb of the Gods," comic book series for Dark Horse to coincide with the Harrison Ford movie! In fact, George Lucas liked Steve's work so much that he purchased most of the originals to keep for himself!
In other words, Steve Scott is busy making comics, in an industry he loves, which is a good thing for his ever growing number of fans.
Wizard World New Orleans takes place January 28th and 29th. Joining William Shatner and Steve Scott at the show will be such names as: Stan Lee, Michael Golden, Mark Texeira, Renee Witterstaetter, James Leary, Michael Biehn, Arthur Suydam, Peter Mayhew, Erin Gray, Mary McDonnell, James Marsters, Adam Baldwin… and many more!
