About the site

I set this site up after a number of requests for the Bison painting over the years ... it took me a while to find the negs and fix them up ... but I finally got a result worth offering up. I don't expect many orders but I figure it's here for the truly die hard fans.

I understand the Giclée prints might be beyound the range of most ... so I have put up the art on POD sites for those interested in such merchandise.
TeePublic does do a 30"x36" on canvas ... if anybody buys it could they contact me and give me a review. I have gotten one of the tees and the print looks impressive even at 150dpi.

I have also put up additional graphics from the production on the TeePublic site ... I haven't sold anything on TeeSpring so I have given it up as a lost cause ... for the graphic stuff anyways. I don't think it needs the resolution this site supplies.

Fuck Art just give me Print on Demand T's etc

Try TeePublic for TShirts or for posters and art prints or even other graphics from Street Fighter
Or TeeSpring for TShirts etc etc . They do 300dpi so technically should be a better result.

About me ... a.k.a. randy vellacott

I have worked in Film and TV for over 30 years in various art related positions from Scenic Artist to VFX Supervisor. I was a graphic designer for TV series like Mission: Impossible (1988), Time Trax (1994), Flipper (1995), Space: Above and Beyond (1995), sundry TV movies and of course Street Fighter (1994).

The nickname was picked up while working on the TV series Mission: Impossible (1989). I had to create some impressionist paintings for an episode about a "lost" Degas. I used the name RANDOIR in an ad that I created for the back of a prop magazine ... I offered art ripoffs at bargain basement prices … and the name stuck. I have alternately spelled it as randwar, randwa or randoir depending on mood.

For the last 18 years, I have worked mostly in visual effects. Show count now stands at about 69 credits for VFX and 17 in Art Dept, including Ghost Ship (2001), Anacondas (2004), House of Wax (2005), Superman Returns (2006), Captain America (2011), Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol (2011), The Hunger Games (2012) and Daybreakers (2010) for which I won an AFI for Visual Effects as VFX Supervisor. My last production shown in the cinemas (pre COVID) was Go! a little Aussie coming of age flick.

About ... Street Fighter

As Graphic Artist on Street Fighter I was responsible for the design of logos, signage and various bits of graphical set dressing, including the Allied Nations, GNT News, the Benbelli Bros Circus and Bisonopolis and Bison logos, the Bison money, various Shadaloo fonts, which appeared on newspapers signs and posters, computer terminal displays and architectural signage. I also vaguely remember doing some concept art for Vega's tattoo.
After shooting had been going for a while, and there was not much left to do on set, I was asked to paint "Bison Crossing The Alps", a riff of course on one of Jacques Louis David's paintings of Napolean crossing the Alps.

The painting is signed on the breast collar strap as RANDWAR. Given that I was using that spelling at the time and considering the content of the painting, I thought it amusing. Unknown to me at the time, was that the "Randwar" is the "door to war" in a story from Hindu culture. Well I think it's interesting!

I also did the painting of Bison as a clown (in the style of John Wayne Gacy), part finished and sitting on a tripod, as if Bison was in the process of painting it.
Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of it, but it's there to seen in the scene! I do still possess a version which was started but abandoned, I expect, due its size as it was almost the same size as the Napolean canvas. It would have been way too distracting at that size.
