Thirteen collections of our work (and a three-issue comic series) have been made available by feisty independent publishers SQP (attending to your every fantasy art book need since 1973!)

The books below are available from us, signed by Steve and Rich (we know: that and $1.50 will get you a cup of coffee). 

If you're buying one book, you note the prices quoted below include $5 packaging and shipping by Priority Mail. (We use Uncle Sugar's mailers, and reinforce them with sheets of cardboard.)

If you want to buy a number of books (and/or prints and/or originals), email us with the titles, and we'll quote you a price plus s&h. We combine multiple items whenever possible, and can often ship them for the same amount as a single item.

Here are our newly available titles...

Pocket Pal Vol.2 is the indispensible companion to Pocket Pal Vol.1, and features another selection of Steve's popular tonal studies, including several for paintings from Tricks & Treats. (If you've ever wondered how he does it, pore over these with a magnifying glass until your eyeballs fall out of your head.)





Also included are a painting from 1978 (!), a study for an unpublished FF portfolio plate, and many images you won't see anywhere else.







PP Vol.2 is a digest-sized collection of studies, sketches and paintings, all in glorious black & white. Signed, numbered, and limited to 500. 5.5" X 8.5", 32pp., $10 plus $5 s&h.

 

The February 2009 issue of Art Scene International features an F&L cover, a nine page illustrated interview with Steve and Rich, and a two page step-by-step how-to (with photos) wherein Steve describes his marker & airbrush painting process.







ASI is a really nicely produced 82 page German magazine devoted to illustration, visual art and digital imaging. The English language version is available, signed by F&L, directly from us for $5 plus $5 shipping by Priority Mail.

 

F&L's Pocket Pal Vol. I is our entry in the venerable convention sketchbook sweepstakes.





Yes, it's diminutive. Some would even call it "digest-sized" -- but that's what they said about Dr. Thumbkin (see cover) and he single-handedly almost conquered France in the early '50s...!









PP V.I is an easily concealable collection of unseen studies, sketches and paintings, all in glorious black & white. Signed, numbered, and limited to 500. 5.5" X 8.5", 32pp., $10 plus $5 s&h.

 
 
We took our initial inventory of Tricks & Treats to conventions, and sold out almost immediately. It's now been reprinted, and we're offering signed copies directly from us.



T&T collects 44 brand new full color Halloween-themed (and costume-adjacent) paintings into one outsized (9" X 12") volume. 









Includes an intro by and bio of F&L. 48pp., $15 plus $5 s&h.

Tricks & Treats is also available in a hardcover edition (cover below) for $25 plus $5 s&h.



As a special offer -- available only with the hardcover edition -- F&L will personalize your copy of T&T with a full-color original interior sketch for an additional $50 (total: $75 plus $5 s&h).

We have an extremely limited number of both the soft and hardcover versions of T&T, so if you decide to order from us, don't wait too long!

 

In 2008, Platinum Studios released the eagerly awaited (at least by the denizens of Gonan and the eight surrounding systems) graphic novel Alien @ Large



Written by SQP's own Bob Keenan (proving that, yes, publishers can be intentionally funny) and illustrated by Rich, with a painted cover by Steve, A@L is the story of intergalactic explorer/prince/accident-waiting-to-happen Bovaxo Tan, and the wide swath he and his extraterrestrial supporting cast cut through an unsuspecting, and not much quicker on the uptake, planet Earth.

We're offering the extremely rare limited first printing, from July 2005. Signed by F&L -- and Bob will be happy to personalize it as well (we'll include his address and phone number). Squarebound, comic book size, 72pp. (4 of color), $10 plus $5 s&h.

 

Months in the making, and eagerly awaited by fans of severely restricted movement on several continents, Bed & Bondage 2 is now available!

 


Hot on the tightly-strapped seven-inch heels of Bed & Bondage (scroll down), B&B2 contains a fresh set of demented scenarios by Rich, several paintings by Steve, and a graphic story which elaborates on the whimsical drama depicted on the cover of Vol.1.

Sample images from B&B2 can be found here. At 64pp. in b&w with color covers, it's available from us signed for $10.00 plus $5.00 s&h. More detailed F&L book ordering info is available above.

 

Bed & Bondage, Vol.1 is a 64 page sketchbook in the manner of our Haunted House of Lingerie series.



While it's undeniably true that Bed & Bondage features many drawings of girls in various stages of undress and various stages of being tied up, we think it's mostly pretty light-hearted. There are frogs and fairies and puppies and gremlins, and everyone is having a whee of a time, even the girls in question, temporarily inconvenienced though they may be. We know this because, having created them, we're privy to their every thought.

(The story features the heroines of our "Spanking Tails" series, and they're always good for a chuckle or two.)

It's dollars to doughnuts you won't be picking this one up at your friendly neighborhood comic shop -- shelf space being at a premium, and the possibility of arrest on trumped-up charges always a concern.

So feel free, if you're so inclined, to order a signed copy directly from the perpetrators. They're available for $10 plus $5 s&h.

 

Little Black Book Vol. 3 is out, and if you buy it from us, you'll get a free print as well!



 

 

Again, we combine shipments whenever possible. Usually any combination of up to 5 books, prints and/or small (8.5" X 11") originals are shippable for the same amount as a single item -- $5.

Remember that international orders are welcome, but postage is more (email us for details).

More info on ordering books in general can be found above. A number of titles are now unfortunately at least temporarily sold out. We tried to warn you.

Alien @ Large (2005, squarebound, comic book sized graphic novel, b&w with color covers, 72pp., 4pp. interior color.)

Bed & Bondage, Vol. 2 (2008, b&w trade paperback with color covers, 64pp.) All new, all mildly disturbing pencil sketches by Rich, plus six grayscale paintings by Steve, and a 12 page story involving demons and several lengths of rope.

Bed & Bondage, Vol. 1 (2006, b&w trade paperback with color covers, 64pp.) Frogs, cherubs and little robots set about restraining a seemingly limitless retinue of recalcitrant young ladies.

Little Black Book, Vol. 3 (2005, quality color magazine, 48pp.) Privately commissioned paintings, studies, color pencil drawings,card and t-shirt designs, digitally remastered oldies, never-published Avengers and FF portfolio art, plus two epoch-spanning graphic narratives, "Battlehookers of Klarn" and "Curiosity Box". $15, signed and postpaid.

With quasi-insightful commentary by F&L. $15, signed & postpaid.

Little Black Book, Vol. 1 (2003, quality color magazine, 48pp.) Fifty-one never-before-published paintings, watercolors and color pencil studies, plus "Alienated", a new six-page tale from you-know-where. Our entertainingly incoherent ramblings introduce each chapter. $15, signed & postpaid.

F&L Gallery (2002, 9" x 12" squarebound magazine, 96pp.) This German-American coproduction is the only full-color, full-page collection of our paintings to date. Fully indexed, with a 1,500 word biography, photos and early drawings. Sold Out.

Haunted House of Lingerie, Vol. 3 (2001, b&w TP, 64pp.) Opens with the 11-page fully-painted ORIGIN of the Haunted House, and lurches forward with a graveyardful of saucy, lighthearted, gruesome sketches, many of which we turned into the paintings showcased in Little Black Book, Vols. 1 and 2. The wraparound cover painting, Slumber Party, is a lurid B-movie in itself. Sold out.

Haunted House of Lingerie, Vol. 2 (1999, b&w TP, 64pp.) Toothsome wenches and icky homunculi on every page, eleven fully rendered airbrush paintings, wry captions by Bob Keenan (LLD, PhD, STB) and lots and lots of nudity. Sold out.

Haunted House of Lingerie, Vol. 1 (1997, b&w TP, 64pp.) Scantily-clad maidens and the moldering monsters who love them--what's not to like? Except that Vol. 1 is pretty much sold out.

An eight page color section showcases 17 of our favorite paintings. The Not So Secret Origins intro features some of our earliest, least-often-seen work. Sold out.

Demon Baby: Hell on Heels (1996, b&w TP, 64pp.) The first three 8-page chapters of our unwieldy, not-particularly-well-known 92-page occult revenge story. Each chapter in a different medium (pencil, wash, airbrush). Guaranteed not to brighten your day. Plus a 30-page "Sketches on the Road to Hell" portfolio. $15 signed & postpaid. Sold out. 

Demon Baby: First Fire,Vols. 1-­3 (1997/8, b&w Comic, 32pp. each) The conclusion of the Hell on Heels storyline, and even more depressing. Three comics, each with 21 pages of story, a four page sketch gallery and entertaining-in-their-own-right SQP ads. $10 for the set, signed &postpaid.

Here's a SPECIAL OFFER: While they last, get the Hell on Heels TP and all three First Fire comics--the entire 92-page Demon Baby saga plus 42 pages of sketches--for $20, signed & postpaid. UPDATE: we're down to our file copies of the Hell On Heels TP, so the special offer is -- you guessed it -- sold out. (The DB First Fire comic set, above, is still available for $10, signed and postpaid; good luck figuring out what's going on, though.)

Architects of Fantasy (1994, b&w TP, 64pp.) Fewer babes; more of our comic, paperback, portfolio, record, t-shirt, card and advertising designs and finished art. But still quite a few babes. Entirely-too-generous intro by Jim Steranko. Sold out.
