Collections: Garrell

[Garrell]

Hi all, bear with me on the photobucket thing, I should get better. Only posting a couple quick pics tonight, very long productive day at work, so I am wore out at the moment. I will have more to follow...

[Merlin1958]

Way to go!!!! I had "Mountains to scale" in order to get mine going, but now its "Old hat". You'll get there too!!!


Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Merlin1958]

No, No use the Icon next to the envelope (above) to insert link to. Then it will put the pic directly into the thread, like all the other Collection Threads.

Usually some form of "Direct Link" info from PB or the others does it. I use "Imageshack". There is a "How To" thread somewhere that I used and made it easier. I'm an "Old fart" so you can imagine how difficult it was to get me "on-board". LOL LOL

[Garrell]

Thanks for the patience and help, I seem to have got it:excited:

Awesome stuff!!!!!!! Keep it coming!!!!!

Sorry for the "shinyness?", if it has a dj then it gets a brodart.

[Merlin1958]

Don't worry about "Photog" skills, we all love the "close-ups" LOL


Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice and i really like the bookshelves, they are different, but different as in great!!!

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I also like the staggered look of your shelves, and the books look great on them. I also have a PS Publishing File Copy of a COLORADO KID! Great minds think alike, you know!

[jhanic]

Looking good!

John

[TwistedNadine]

The way you display the books are those beautiful shelves really show them off. I like that. Looks fantastic.

[Ric]

Nice Job! Looks great! What is The Stand on the bottom of the shelf across from "The Plant"? Is that a first?

[Garrell]

The bottom shelve with the Plant are just my reader copies. The 1st/1st Stand is on a upper shelf waiting for my 1st/1st The Shining to be it's neighbor (it's in the mail). I will be posting more pics tonight when I get off work.

[olverts]

Great collection you got there ! Really nice bookshelves too

[Randall Flagg]

Great setup. Congratulations for figuring out the picture thing.

Nice to see some paperbacks. Not everyone goes after them. (except RAGE, maybe)

[Garrell]

I like the old paperbacks because those are the ones I read as a youngster. Carrie, Salem's Lot, and Christine are all 1st/1st and the most expensive one was $2.50 I think. Love Half-Price Books.

[Merlin1958]

What a handsome collection!!!

From both a display and inventory perspective!!!!

:clap::clap::clap:

[deadohsky]

Great looking collection. I love the bookcase(s).

[Garrell]

Thanks all, I looked 6 months for those bookcases, so yes I was very picky about them. The compliments make me feel the search was worth it:panic:

An old art piece of mine. Marilyn Monroe. 64 different "textures".

[Garrell]

...and another
http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k609/garrell7/HPIM0004.jpg
Charlie Chaplin done with a magic marker and ink dropper. I even custom made the wood board that it is done on.

[deadohsky]

Beautiful pieces. You ever sell any or is it more of a personal hobby? They'd definitely bring some money.

[Garrell]

Currently working on a Cell or DT piece, working on sketches/ideas for both. Got a giant canvas that needs some paint on it, was a gift to get me back into.
Hence, the thread is named collections, not just book collections:)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I really like that Marilyn Monroe piece amd the eagle is stunning! Such talent! I wish I could draw.

[Garrell]

Beautiful pieces. You ever sell any or is it more of a personal hobby? They'd definitely bring some money.
I had been offered a good amount for the Marilyn piece, but they wanted the rights to it also. They wanted it and for me to do a John Wayne and Michael Jordan. Looking back I should have maybe done it? The eagle is just a photo of a copy of it, the real piece is in Cali w/my sister. So you really can't see the details here.

[Garrell]

Today's new stuff...

[Garrell]

This my homage to Dali. Couldn't afford a real dali, so I just drew one.
http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k609/garrell7/DSCF0939.jpg

[Ben Staad]

I LOVE the Chaplin piece and appreciate your homage to Dali. I live near(ish) to St. Petersburg, Fl and always enjoy going to the Dali museum there.

Not for nothing, but you need TMSG to hold open the pages for Pics!!!!! LOL An Invaluable tool only a select few have the priviledge of owning!!! LOL

Love the Framed pieces!! Awesome stuff!!!!

[pixiedark76]

I love your collection and your bookshelves. I see you collect the HC graphic novels of Stephen King. Do you collect the single issue comics also?

[Garrell]

I love your collection and your bookshelves. I see you collect the HC graphic novels of Stephen King. Do you collect the single issue comics also?
I have the first Gunslinger but after that, I stayed away from them for fear of collecting comics again. I used to own a insane collection til it took a whole room to house it. Sold it and kept only my Frank Miller stuff and Garth Ennis.

[Garrell]

Staying away from TSMG even though it is my favorite King movie. Would like to get his bobblehead and Christine car someday, but they are low on the list.

[Dolso]

Great Collection, Garrell! Love it!!

Are the bookshelves "off-the-shelf" so to speak? Where did you get them?

Very Nice!

Good question!!! Off the shelf, or custom? They are very, very nice!!!

National Library Week, not my best but was fun to do.
http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k609/garrell7/DSCF0947.jpg
Had a rombus type theme...don't think most got it. Also, was just learning/experimenting with colored pencils. Makes me giggle now. The college library loved it and it did win.

[TwistedNadine]

Is Value City UK's equivalent of the US K-Mart (or "Pic and Sav" now "Big Lots")?

No, I live in Indianapolis, think it is a midwest chain.

[TwistedNadine]

HA! Guess I should have read your local. But Ive never heard of Value City here in SoCal.

[Garrell]

Lived or visited in most of the US (Merced/San Clemente and Auburn AL) and never seen one, is the reason I think it's a midwest thing

[TwistedNadine]

Really like your artwork Garrell. The Marilyn Monroe especially. Nicely done.

[Garrell]

Thanks TN.

More info on ROAD RAGE please, since I collect Matheson and King. No offense to Joe Hill, but I am trying NOT to read anything by him yet so I don't get Joe Hill collecting fever. I'm always running out of money because of that infliction. (afliction?)

I believe that the SK/Joe Hill story is a take off of Matheson and is the same story from He is Legend. I got a signed 20th Century Ghost for free with a purchase through eBay (was quite a suprise). Since then I picked up his other 2 novels (one still in the mail). I've only read the first 2 pages of Heart-Shaped Box and wow. Reading DT7 a little faster now cause Heart-Shaped Box is next. So I already have all the Joe Hill I need and can continue my unending SK quest.

This is just a hunch but... I have a feeling this book will make a trip to Va. in late September.

[Garrell]

Not sure Cook, it is on a list atm of which I take. Really want to take my pb Salem's Lot, but I am thinking that it being a pb, wear and tear in the future. Presently thinking: The Stand 1st/1st, Salem's Lot 1st/1st, Cycle of the Werewolf 1st/1st, On Writing 1st/1st (hate to admit it is one of my favorites)
Not worried about resale value, the book stays with me til I die, as the whole collection does, and then goes to my son.

Yep, I map my SK purchases:) Although, I had to dip in savings for the DT S/L's, don't tell on me.

[Jimimck]

Awesome collection!
Those book cases are really cool. I love how you have some of the special editions facing outwards (expecially your Night Shift case!)

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

Looks like your road to The Dark Tower is nearing completion!

[Dolso]

Looks like your road to The Dark Tower is nearing completion!

The problem is that the road is NEVER a dead end.........there is always a new direction to head in.

As long as you take your wife to Va with you, put her up in a nice hotel, buy her an expensive dinner, see some new/different touristy types of places, she never needs to know you dipped into savings (or if she does find out, you can explain the "It was all for YOU, sweetie!!)!!

[Merlin1958]

Great acquisitions!!!! Don't you just LOVE that UK DJ? I know I do!!!!

[Garrell]

Yes I do love it, it always tempts me to get the rest of the series in UK books. Got that one about 5 years ago and been bugging me since. Maybe after the VA trip.

[Merlin1958]

The shame is that, as far as I have been able to ascertain, the first 3 UK 1/1 are PB's, which I find infuriating. However, I have them all plus the 4 UK HC's in my collection. I have a 90-95% complete US/UK collection of ALL SK books. At least according to my personal rules!!!! LOL

[Jimimck]

the first 3 UK 1/1 are PB's, which I find infuriating


I know!!!! So annoying!

Garrell: That pictire of all your DT7's is way cool. I only finished reading number 7 a few weeks ago, and so now have a better appreciation of the cover for the S/L...

[Garrell]

I am finally(years later) finishing The dark Tower series. Part of me is sad in doing it, maybe the reason I have waited so long to. I am in DTVII, read about 200 pages today. got about 250 to go...I wish it never ended. So want to talk about it...but don't wanna spoil it for others. Our finance girl at work is a big SK/DT fan so we will be chatting tomorrow for sure.
If the first 3 are pb's I may skip them but I know me and I will eventually get the other 3 HB's, the covers and quality are just beautiful.

[jhanic]

There's a separate forum for discussing ALL the Dark Tower books:

http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/forumdisplay.php?20-The-Baronies

I don't contribute there, but I do read through them sometimes.

John

[Jimimck]

Garrell: I so know what you meant re taking your time with the series! I started DT1 about 8 years ago, and deliberately took a long time between books (once I got to part 3). Totally understand your comments about not wanting it to end. Ssince the series is some of King's best work ever, and I was running out of great King stories to read, I wanted to make the joy last longer lol...

[Garrell]

I started in 88 when the pb came out, 23 years ago.
There are a few other SK books I haven't read, but I like to make sure there are always a couple in case he passes before me I guess.

[biomieg]

Actually, the true UK 1st of DTIV is a paperback as well. So you have the 1st three paperbacks in one style, the last three books in hardcover in another style, and part 4 is an ugly red book that doesn't fit in with any of them.

[Merlin1958]

Personally, and according to my rules (granted arbitrary), the Hodder HC I have I consider to be a 1/1 UK title. I fully realize that arguments can be made either way, but I choose to ignore them!!!! :P LOL LOL

I LOVE the DJ as well!!!! LOL

[biomieg]

Do you really like the red UK DTIV cover? I think it's one of the least interesting out there.

[Garrell]

This is part of a mental collection in my life... I just (after 23 years) finished the DT series.
If I hadn't become a SK fan 35 years ago, I would have tonight. I say thankya sai King. My mind is almost numb. Best series of anything I have read or seen in my life. I am glad that I was patient in reading the series, it was soo worth it. A tear in my eye as I lift a beer or two to celebrate it's end (hate champagne).

Well, are you ready for the new 4.5 Keyhole mid-quel (sequel) ?

[Patrick]

I went through your entire collection thread this morning.

You have some great stuff in there, as you must know. Personally I don't collect paperbacks, but I buy them as reading copies when needed, so I understand your perspective and your attachment to that format.

I really like the presentation afforded by your bookcase. If only they made those split-level cases with glass doors...

You are a talented artist, man! I am partial to Dali', so that one's my favorite. (I haven't been to the museum in Florida, but I have been to the Dali' museum in his hometown of Figueres (http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/figueres/en_index.html).)

Congratulations on finishing the series at your own pace, Garrell.

Thanks Patrick,
The pb are only of the first few because those were the versions I read and could afford as a teenager and I lived overseas alot and the were the only option.
I have been to the Dali museum in St. Peteersburg and loved it, did that piece because I couldn't afford a real Dali, so I just drew my own, got a couple Frank Miller's I did the same on.
The bookcases I love but do wish they were glass enclosed. Guess I could solve that problem myself as I built homes from the ground up for 18 years, saying that the talent to do it is there, just not the get up and do it that is needed.
As far as the DT series, I am still blown away with it

[Ben Staad]

FYI they recently opened up the new Dali museum in St.Pete and the exterior is pretty cool. Here is a link which shows a small picture of the outside architecture if your interested:

You should do some art for a "Dolso" case and be immortalized!!!!

[Garrell]

Not to worry, is in the works, or not:) Had to get that pesky DT series finished to get really focused. Got some very rough sketches and ideas, torn on the composition I want for Tick-Tock, don't be shocked if half his head is missing hehe.

[Cook]

Garrell,
Your obviously making too much money lately.
Should I go ahead and give you my Christmas list now?
Congrats, very nice.

[Garrell]

Summer is the sale season in my business, so I had a goal this summer...so only 3 or 4 more big ones and it gets slow til next summer. Won't be like this summer, saved for it and was kinda my bucket list summer for SK...no not dying, just getting older and wanted certain things before just in case:) and yes Cook, it was a very good summer in some ways. I also focused on paying any and all bills for 8 months before this so I became pretty much bill free.

Very very nice Garrell,
I can't believe how many cool books you've acquired this year.
Carrie's definitely the mother of holy grails.
Congratulations.

[Garrell]

Was thinking...ironic, it looks like my last 1st/1st will be the one that started it all back in 76, Salem's Lot. It will have to wait til at least after the VA event. BTW, the Carrie was in way better shape than the money I spent for it, DJ close to mint and book itself great except a library stamping on one page. I have a plan to get rid of that part...

[Garrell]

Couple of DJ's I got this week...

[Shannon]

Don't know why it took so long for me to do so, but I finally got around to checking out your Collection Thread.

Love the bookshelves, and I love the fact that you seem to be so focused in your Stephen King collection. I buy everything that seems interesting, but of course, that makes me broke ALL THE TIME, because I can always find something interesting when I'm looking for SK stuff to buy. So, I end up with a lot of great little stuff, but I miss out on the bigger items. I'll get there someday (one daaaaaaaaaaay, over the --- nevermind). Anyway, I think you need a current SK collection pic. :)

[Garrell]

1st/1st, 1st/1st flatsigned, S/L
slipcases/traycases rotate down when I get my CD traycase:)
http://i1118.photobucket.com/albums/k609/garrell7/DSCF2153.jpg?t=1334015717

[Jimimck]

That will look so sweet when the tray case arrives (not that it doesn't now!)

[Shannon]

I love the 11/22/63 pic. Some people just don't understand ... Amber asks me why I have a few of the same book. I tell her, this is a first edition, this is a first edition flatsigned, this is a first edition remarqued, etc. lol

RE: slipcases, I recently realized (moving stuff around) that I have a handful of S/Ls without a slipcase and/or traycase. Quietly Now, Under The Dome, etc. Without going broke (dolso, Overlook, etc.), do you know if anyone makes generic (but decent looking) slipcase of differing sizes?

[Garrell]

http://slipcasebooks.com/services.htm

[Shannon]

Thanks for the link. Anything a little cheaper? lol Or maybe a How-To-Make-Your-Own-Slipcase guide? lol

[Jimimck]

The Collector has a specific one for UTD and CD has some generic ones that may suit on their slipcase page....

[Randall Flagg]

Thanks for the link. Anything a little cheaper? lol Or maybe a How-To-Make-Your-Own-Slipcase guide? lol

http://rozwoundup.typepad.com/roz_wound_up/2009/07/simple-cardstock-slipcase-part-two.html

[Merlin1958]

While I understand they can seem expensive, I did a lot of "shopping" before I found "Dolso" and to be honest with what you generally pay for a cardboard SC, it seems a better investment. to me, to go with a custom wooden case. It's like buying a book case for your book. Spent $100 for a TCBL SC for my LOTR books and ended up with a $200+ cost for a Dolso display case that is amazing!!! I think that when it comes to SC's you really have to think it out for the long haul, but of course that's just MHO.

[Garrell]

I sure would like to see pictures of your gunslinger 1st/1st encased in the fancy new case.
I will post some tomorrow.
For TDT members that don't know...Cook sold me my 1st/1st in time for me to get it signed in VA, and he was there:0 He and RF are also responsible for the awesome slipcase...point being, my crown jewel was mostly "built" by Cook:)

[Brice]
