2016 Fundraiser Tease

[Randall Flagg]

What if you took a King title that no publisher can reprint?

Recruited six renowned artists to create eight original pieces.

I know it's a tease, but that's fun...

Rage?

LOL LOL You realize you have "Issues", yes? LOL LOL LOL Here comes a fucking "RF's Famous Puzzles". LOL LOL LOL

Rage?
You think too small.
Clue caught you like a fish.

Think larger...

[Randall Flagg]

Outside the box...

[Randall Flagg]

Outside the universe of King...

[Merlin1958]

Imagine, if you will, a website Director who does monumental things for the benefit of others, that cannot contain his enthusiasm for the things he helps to create. Look out for the sign post up ahead, it says "Welcome to the "Collector- Zone"!!! LOL LOL

[Dan]

Rage?
You think too small.

Think larger...

I cannot, at the moment. I've had a good amount of Kentucky sour mash.

Larger? So must be the Bachman books. 8 pieces means two pieces for each story... and if RF can pull a rabbit out of a hat like usual with the binding I bet it will be amazing. Just a guess though

If this is true, I will definitely be bidding.

Seems like a pretty fair guess!

Chadbourne
Dameron
Edwards
Kocurek
Maitz
Readman

You had me at Readman... :)

[T-Dogz_AK47]

And you had me at Chadbourne.... :rock:

[ELazansky]

Sounded good until Chadbourne was mentioned.

Feel free to not bid when the auction is posted.
Feel free to stay out of the "tease" thread.

Chadbourne
Dameron

Now I'm intrigued!

[becca69]

Wow, cool. It already looks expensive!!

You jest. Right?

[Randall Flagg]

You jest. Right?
I understand that not everyone likes Chadbourne, or perhaps any artist on the list.
Perhaps I'm too sensitive (and if so please let me know), but I'm teasing something that I have worked hard on.
Without even seeing the art, I think it's slightly uncool to crap in the thread.

[Randall Flagg]

Sounded good until Chadbourne was mentioned.
Neg rep sent.

You jest. Right?
No. And I had the cojones to say it and disclose it to the recipient.

[Randall Flagg]

And I will accept personal criticism, but I'd prefer it wasn't in this or another Fundraiser thread.
Feel free to start a RF criticism thread. You'd be surprised how far I would let it go.

[Theli]

Well I think it's a mighty bad ass list of artists! Love the blood spattered pages and marbled endpapers too!

[Patrick]

... I'm teasing something that I have worked hard on.

Although I'm sure he didn't mean to offend you personally, I think this is a fair reaction on your part, Jerome.

Looking forward to seeing whatever this is. Six different professional artists and the other hints so far have me intrigued.

[wizardsrainbow]

I think this will be one for the ages.

[wizardsrainbow]

I think this will be one for the ages. That is QUITE the artist line-up. Missing only Whelan!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I'm intrigued, that is for sure.

Mulleins

[zelig]

Looking forward to seeing more.

[Aronstg]

I think this will be one for the ages. That is QUITE the artist line-up. Missing only Whelan!

and Wrightson but I don't think he can draw anymore :(

This will be way out of my price range but I'm still excited to see it!

Yeah he is defiantly done:( What a master. His work is damm near impossible to find when King related. Magine... if those two were involved though??? RF get half the goal right there. haha I am still VERY pumped to see this project though!

That was the FIRST copy to hit eBay by an unknown seller.

The SECOND copy, which was donated by CD for the 2016 Haven, is the one RF is referring to that sold for $1.7+.

Crazy prices!

[Merlin1958]

Since we are teasing the shit out of this one.........


There is a rather amazing and one of a kind piece done by, Mr. Dameron. So original it nearly didn't make the project!!!! Special precautions and treatments were required. I don't believe you will ever find another piece like this bound into another book anywhere, Jerome, would you agree?

Now that's a tease! Love Ned's work, fantastic artist.

Edit: Crazy prices on the CD proof too. 3k would have been a ton if it did sell for that much. Too bad that wouldn't have gone to the Haven Fund.

[TCCBodhi]

Love the look of this! Can't wait to see more of the details though it will be out of my range.

[Randall Flagg]

Neds's piece was some type of oil paint and on heavy stock. Initially we feared it was too thick to be bound in, but my binder is pretty amazing.

I like it!

[Randall Flagg]

Full fine leather binding
Faux suede inside (the smooth side of suede) slipcase with pull ribbon
Hand marbled endpapers
"Blood" spray page block
Eight original pieces of art.
Velum bound in before each art piece
Sown binding
Raised hubs with bronze accent.
Limitation page at end of book

[Theli]

Wow, sounds like quite the piece your binder and contributors have put together!

[bdwyer19]

So it's not real blood? Bummer.

I'd include a sarcasm emoji, but I don't know what to use.

[webstar1000]

Limitation page? Who signed them?

[Randall Flagg]

So it's not real blood? Bummer.

I'd include a sarcasm emoji, but I don't know what to use.
Real blood tends to oxidize and darken then starts eating the paper. Sounds great, but is a bad idea.

[Randall Flagg]

Did I mention two?

[Randall Flagg]

Limitation page? Who signed them?
No one.
The limitation pages describe the book and thank the contributors,

[Aronstg]

Did I mention two?

What?!?!?! Two books each with their own 8 original illustrations?!?!?!

[Randall Flagg]

Did I mention two?

What?!?!?! Two books each with their own 8 original illustrations?!?!?!
No.

[webstar1000]

Did I mention two?

What?!?!?! Two books each with their own 8 original illustrations?!?!?!

4 each.

[Randall Flagg]

Two books. Each book has one original piece for each of the four stories. One book has silver trim on the raised hubs, the other has bronze trim.
They are complimentary pieces.

[jsmcmullen92]

Will they be sold as one auction or are you going to really make us fight for it and bid twice?

So one book is the Bachman books, or are they both copies of the Bachman books just different illustrations and binding?

EDIT: must be two copies of the Bachman Books since there are two different Road Work pieces.

dammit, I can't afford it lol

[bdwyer19]

Looks great!! You need to change the name of the thread now... it's not much of a tease any more.

[mikeC]

Really cool idea! Great production. I'm sure it will make a lot of money for the fund.
Can't wait to see the rest of the art.

[jsmcmullen92]

Wow... those are awesome. I hope I can scrounge up enough for one of those!

[dnemec]

Wow, Jerome. Just wow. :drool:

[stroppygoblin]

beautiful productions RF, can I ask what the source of the page blocks were? Are they repurposed 1st prints or did you manage to find some actual unused page blocks in some other dimension?

[Randall Flagg]

Sold for a tidy sum.

Gentlemen I give you the original art by Don Maitz-The Running Man (note, this is a scan with the protective wrap on the piece):

Not The Bachman Books related, but I love this piece
Erin Wells donated this.
It's on heavy board and the outside is ~22"x15" perfect for a smaller matted original. This is pencil and watercolor. Done for the Kevin Quigly book published by Cemetery Dance (http://www.cemeterydance.com/page/CDP/PROD/_chapbk027).

[Ari_Racing]

Edward and Chadbourne pieces are the best ones IMO.

[Ben Mears]

What is the record for the most money raised by a single auction so far?
I'll have to look back carefully, but a quick search shows a Duma Key with a Maitz remarque that was signed by Stephen King. $1.5K

Maybe the 'Salem's Lot CD Proof that sold last year? $1.6k?
$1,728.69 gross including shipping.

Glad to see someone is paying attention.


Do you think this was a one time occurence or would another copy of the proof garner a similar amount?

[jhanic]

My gut feel is that it was a one-time occurrence. I'd estimate similar sales would be in the $500-600 range for the more common of the two CD ARCs.

Thanks John. What would you guesstimate for the less common version?

Not ever seeing one sold, it's just a guess, but I'd say $1000-1200.

I like it, Rachel!

[Randall Flagg]

She nailed the inside looking out view from the locker. Completely different take on the story.

[carlosdetweiller]

She is a really good artist. I especially noticed the hands. I've heard hands are really hard to draw. Those look like real hands.

[Roseannebarr]

Not ever seeing one sold, it's just a guess, but I'd say $1000-1200.

John


I was able to get the less common one signed by Stephen King. Hope his signature adds some value to the ARC! It was not my copy. I did it for a friend. He was able to get 5 arcs signed in a single week.

CD Blockade Billy Rare White Cover
CD Salems Lot
oblong proof (rare copy) of Salems LOt.
Carrie and something else.

needless to say, he was pretty excited!

What is the 'Oblong" proof of 'Salem's Lot, what edition is it for?


Loving the Maitz art and Rachel's art too (between her's and Les Edwards' for my fav so far).

[webstar1000]

The Doubleday Proof of Salems if I am correct... Not sure I would have had that signed though unless done so back then... in fact I know I would not. I think Glenn mentioned earlier that it was Matt (Lot Guy is my guess) who had these signed...

[Pasiuk57]

Matt knows how to get King to sign books! Lucky!!!

[stroppygoblin]

Very nice! Also I appreciate your Integrity RF, as both books were rebound, it would have been so easy to switch the CP pages and have the signed one appear as the 1st printing. Keeping them original keeps a nice balance between the books.

[wizardsrainbow]

Both books were purchased from my personal collection for the fundraiser.

Very nice! Also I appreciate your Integrity RF, as both books were rebound, it would have been so easy to switch the CP pages and have the signed one appear as the 1st printing. Keeping them original keeps a nice balance between the books.
That was considered (with full disclosure being made when auctioned), but even if disclosed, it just didn't "feel" right.

The timing for auctions sucks right now. Sundays usually are a good day to start/end and auction, but tomorrow is the Superbowl, and a week away is Valentines day. It's no better on Monday, as the 15th is (in the USA) President's day and thus a holiday for state and federal workers.

I believe so, he mentioned it in the CD thread within the last couple of days.

They really do. I remember in the "old days" at the SKEMER conferences in Bangor, Rich and Brian would send BOXES of books for us to use as door prizes. Just a very small example of what they've done for me over the years. Truly great people (and not just saying that because I get a paycheck from them..).

To anyone out there willing to donate. I believe I can get, Mark Geyer to remarque a 1/1 of "The Green Mile". If you can help, PM me.

Imagine if you will.
Stephen King signs the book.

[Merlin1958]

Subtle.

Stop chasing me. You aren't getting any.

[Merlin1958]

Two artists, one author and a limited edition. Do the math.

[Randall Flagg]

I've tried to put up numerous auctions (a couple more tomorrow) of cool items that won't break the bank. Most should sell for $50 or less.

[Brian861]

All on the stalk list :)

[Merlin1958]

Well, we all know that my name gets left out of the drawing, cause I NEVER win anything!!! LOL J/K LOL So, it would be nice to at least win a freaking auction here and there!! Lay off "The Mist" auction!!! LOL J/K


I bet no one saw that one going for more than $20???? LOL

[Brian861]

Hey, Bill. You actually have to bid to win some of these things :).

[Merlin1958]

Hey, Bill. You actually have to bid to win some of these things :).

LOL I DID bid!!! I thought I would get away with it with a max bid of $25. Now, I'm in a dog fight!!! LOL Great for the cause though!!


Does this mean I may actually have a shot at the Grand Prize? LOL LOL


And before someone gets their panties in a twist, I am only fooling about. Jerome, is the most fair, meticulous and hard working fellow I know on these boards. If it is not on the "Up and Up" he will have no part in it when it comes to these causes.

You know I didn't even think about that! Are you entered if you win an auction or was it by donation only :orely:

Check with, Jerome but I don't think you gain entries for winning an auction. The thought being that you obtained the item instead. You get credits for donating items and cash, but otherwise no. However, ask RF for clarification of the rules and such.

I'm sworn to secrecy, but do your own research. There are still "staunch, artist supporters", yet to weigh in with items and while we do offer our fair share of "tried and true" offerings there are always really unique, one of a kind items to be had. Do the math. There is MUCH more to come so keep a weather eye out, folks!!!

I'm very excited by a few of these and I think you will be as well!! Remember, TDT.ORG & HF are the ONLY places you will be able to obtain these really special items!!!

[Brian861]

Hmmm, just finished up Duma Key early yesterday morning so a bad ass evil ship is still fresh on the brain. Could it be an incredible Remarque of what is now one of my favorite King books of all time!! If so, I will not go down without a fight! "I can do this......."

The big question is, should I leave the original binding with DJ on it, or have it bound in leather like last years one that had Chadbourne art in it:

[Randall Flagg]

So should I leave the book as is (trade binding, 1st DJ), or have it leather bound like last year's book that had Chadbourne art in it?
Custom bound will be quite a bit more expensive...but worth it.

And you always say I can't keep a secret!!! LOL Put me down for half the cost of the binding, J. Are you thinking of doing the same binding as last year or, something a little different?

[Randall Flagg]

Something ever so slightly different. The major difference is the art. Dameron's art was not in last year's book.
That by itself makes this a 1/1.

[Merlin1958]

Well, yes of course. I guess I was referring to the actual binding. Maybe we try not to emulate the S/L this time? Maybe just a standard black with silver lettering? Just a thought. You're the re-binding master. I trust your judgement.

[stroppygoblin]

Go the whole way and do the case with the Vial and Syringe in it - now that's a collectible!

[TCCBodhi]

I never saw this actual book, but think this would look amazing bound similarly, depending on whether it still meets the other considerations. VERY interesting! Starting to save my pennies, though this SHOULD far exceed what I'll be able to bid.
