Alex:
It’s really an amazing museum. The museum district in downtown Houston is a
great way to kill a couple of days. I have pictures somewhere that I took at
the museum. I need to dig them out since they are pre-digital. This site is
selling 3 foot prints of each 9 foot mural

I had no idea did work there. The HMNS has a wonderful paleontology exhibit -

Bill famously did the storyboards to the first Conan movie in more of a comic
book style. I remember being at his table at a show in Austin & he had some of
those pieces & a couple were splash pages. This young guy was looking at 2
pieces & flipped a coin to decide between them. Unfortunately he thought they
were $10 & they were $1,000. Bill said he didn’t mind that the guy didn’t
realize that they were $1,000. He just couldn’t understand why the guy
wouldn’t go $20 for the pair!
He did some beautiful pre-production work for a Warlord of Mars movie that
didn’t get made. There was a nice full painting that I loved, but couldn’t
afford.
He’s done a number of movie posters as well. He has had kind of an amazing
career. Some of his best work has been seen by tons of people who don’t ever
know his name like the massive murals of prehistoric life at the Houston Museum
of Natural Science. Other work doesn’t really get seen by many people, but
impacts many people like his work for theme parks.

Bill has spent quite a lot of time working in the film industry doing
storyboards and production design. Notably, he designed the famous “Tar Man” in
Return of the Living Dead.

On my couch to relax and watch some TV. Rambo: First Blood (the original) is
on and its at the end when he gets to back to town and takes care of business.
Credits are rolling and I am just watching them for no reason and a line pops
up that says “Storyboards William Stout”.
Is that OUR Mr. William Stout or some other person with the same name?
Kinda came out of nowhere and I had to scroll back up on the screen to make
sure of what I read!
