Arnold fan Maciej Kopciuch has given Crom the ultimate sacrificial gift: A "King Conan: Crown of Iron" fan poster!

Maciej:
I'm glad you like this poster and I hope that all Arnold fans will be happy to see him as "King Conan".



ABOUT THE POSTER.
I have 5 or 6 proposition of this poster (with different compositions, colors, logos and other things). Because I'm an artist (painter, illustrator) I was trying to make this picture like a hand painted oil on canvas (something like "old style" painted posters - maybe similar to Frank Frazetta's "Conan the Barbarian" poster) and in fact this is project for real painting!

ABOUT AUTHOR.
Well, what can I say? My name is Maciej Kopciuch. I'm thirty one years old. I have finished art school in Poland (my country). What I'm doing now? Well - it's paintings, illustrations, computer graphic and other artistic things (I was also cooperating with some movie makers in Poland - as artist). What about Conan? When I was ten I saw "Conan The Barbarian" first time. It was some kind of inspiration for me - and still is. Soon I have started "body building" and training with A sword (I mean stick... ha,ha...). Also I bought all R.E.Howard's books and many F.Frazetta's illustrations (this is my favorite fantasy artist). And naturally my hair became as long as Conan's. Fantastic music of Basil Poledouris is still my best movie score. My regards to all Arnold (and Conan) fans around the world!
