My favourite is his fantasy work, especially the work he did for the Elric series.
As a fan of Michael, excited to see his work getting the celebration it deserves.
I too, pledged my support in exchange for a piece of Original Art (Accidental Alien Landscape) and spoke with David yesterday regarding our soon-to-be-planned trip to Riverside, CA in February '17 to celebrate the opening.
Spoke with Audrey last night and they are very busy and yes, very excited as to the outpouring of support for his upcoming project.
Good stuff.
I really wanted to go for an original piece but hubs put his foot down since I already acquired a piece last month. I saw a few of these in person and Blinder is really cool up close. The colors are amazing. My first choice was Astral Muse and then Tanglewood.
Glad all the pieces got new homes.
Wanted: Human skin edition of The Book of the Dead. Will accept PC copy.
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
I wanted one of the cheapest copy, but the shipping cost more than the book itself + too many expenses just now. Too bad it's a question of timing, i'll pass.

Painted on the back of a misprinted Dark Tower image that we offer in the website shop. The print is on such a fine grade of heavyweight watercolor paper that I’m loathe to throw it away if there’s any hope of my reusing it for some other purpose. In this case, I was employing the paper as a mixing palette of mostly white, yellow ocher, and raw umber.
The shape suggested by a brush mark made me think of creatures described in Stephen King’s THE WASTE LANDS, long beaked, bird-like things that resemble "walking camera tripods". The image never left my mind after reading the book.
As I worked on the main painting—which at the time was HARBINGER—I tweaked the shapes here and there, added the legs, and covered some of the splashes that did not fit in with the mental picture in my head.
One day perhaps this sketch will lead to an actual illustration of the scene, which I’m sure should be darker and more hellish than what I indicated in this sketch.
Wanted:
Michael Whelan & DT Original Art
Nice grab Heath! And anyone else that got an original piece.
Looks like I'm going to the event as I pledged $450. Can't afford an original piece right now.
