Star Worms II 1985 Original Painting for Troma Pictures Movie From The Artist Collection

Star Worms II Attack of the Pleasure Pods 1985
Oil on Illustration board  30” x 20”

Tricia Zimic, an artist who created many of the Troma movie art we all grew up seeing on the shelf at Errol’s and our local video rental stores. As the 80’s unfolded, the B movie and direct to video movies promoted their movies with the cover art. Many of these movies had small grind house releases but their draw were the video covers. 
Troma Pictures were one of the top companies when you think of this era, a few titles stand out like Toxic Avenger and Surf Nazis Must Die, those two will forever be apart of of visual psyche. 
The covers were over the top and of course had something to draw you in. Zimic's art were fine details, explicit scenes, a little sexy and 100% original. 
Many of these artist were fly by night, but not the case with Troma, Tricia Zimic should be the name we know when it comes to 80’s and 90’s Horror and Shock movie images.
