Hi everyone! I'm a bit new here but thought I'd start out but putting up some of my artwork that is inspired by the Dark Tower. I'm kind of obsessed with Stephen King, as many of us are...but his words inspired a lot of my work.

This one I recently sold the original for but it is 30 by 30 and is titled:
Sandcastles and Sandalwood

Hope you like it!

Thank you!!! I am thinking about offer prints of it at 15 inches by 15 inches.
I have one listed in my Etsy shop:
http://juliebcreative.etsy.com
but not sure if it'll sell.

I do sell a lot of my other prints...this painting is inspired by Blaine.

I work in acrylics on canvas...that train one took me 2 years to finish...but the revolver one only took about a month.

This one was inspired by Susan Delgado....DT has influenced my work a lot!

my dream has always been to be able to give SK a piece of artwork inspired by one of his books. i'm trying to decide which book/story to do my next Talisman series painting (a series based on books ive loved...aptly named after a SK book!)

Do you ever do portraits? I would love to see your take on Roland or any of the Ka-Tet.

You're very talented.

juliebcreative

the only portraits ive done so far are paintings based on vintage photographs...im not good with coming up with something in my head...rather see something or take/use reference photos that i like and interpret them.

Well.... let's see then... :orely: We gotta find a way to get you copies of all the Dark Tower comic books....

I just looked at your linkage above, very cool.

Personally, how about something with Roland's hawk David?

Oh i just found the first painting I did of the dark tower...it was a small one (5 by 7) but the colors came out really neat. I did it in oils but maybe I'll try to redo something similar in acrylics.

It's kind of cheesy, but I did this in like 2002 so that's my excuse!

I really feel the threat to the Tower in this piece.

Fantastic work, julie.

Julie, it's so easy to get completely lost in your work.
I don't have the right words in my mind to explain how beautiful it is - all of it. You are truly, and amazingly talented, and I crave to see more of your art.

hey everyone! i just started offering Sandcastles and Sandalwood as a 15 by 15 print in case anyone was interested. I picked some up from the printer the other day so I have one in stock but can order more. I had them printed on eco-friendly bamboo paper. If you mention "palaver" during checkout, I'll refund you shipping. thankee-sai!
