Really tough to do. I sympathize with him (and with you, of course). A couple of years ago my wife broke both arms in a fall. Surgery for one but both were in casts for six weeks. I did my best to wash, dry and style her hair every day while they were in casts. Although I tried my best I don't think I ever got it just right. It was pretty much a nightmare for both of us. We can laugh about it now but there was nothing funny about it at the time.Originally Posted by stkmw02
Likely not, but it's a pretty sweet husband that will do that sort of thing. Both ladies; Krystle and Mrs. Detweiller have good men.
Okay, I tried to earlier, but I had a bad connection...I'd like to jump on the book option with the original stories. I expect you to hurry up and become a brand name writer quick too. This whole working thing is highly overrated.Just tell me what to do.
Which book would you like, Brice? Four Past Midnight is what sparked that offer.... but if you're interested in a different one I'll stretch the deal.
Side story:
A friend of mine is a professional BMX biker and stunt man. He flew over the handlebars and broke both his wrists... a few months later, I went his wedding. He hadn't been with his girlfriend very long and most of us were surprised to get the invite. Then he said, in his vows, "...and when she wiped my ass for weeks as my wrists healed, I knew I couldn't lose her." That's true love.

Amen to that!!!

The Houston Astros cheated Major League Baseball from 2017-18!!!! Is that how we teach our kids to play the game now?????
I already have all of the King you have there. Are the non-king books still available?
I have a few donated books I can send, Krystle to remarque. What are you thinking?

Hey, I greatly appreciate that, but I basically have first editions (and in some cases a dozen or more editions) of every book except some of the rarer pricier ones. What really got my attention was the stories she'll write and with the way she stated it I can be a character (I know! I already am one. LOL ).I have a few donated books I can send, Krystle to remarque. What are you thinking?Before she listed the King books in her first post she listed a couple non-king books if they're still available I'd happily take whichever one of those that isn't written by Nicholas Evans that she'd like to send me.
If I am able to purchase Stephen Kings IT could I send it to you, and have that remarqued?
Yes, but after seeing my drawing you'll instantly burn it and hate me forever. LOL
Spoiler:
Brice, the non-King books in the first post are still available! Pick whichever you like and let me know.
Coulrophobia, for right now I'm sticking with the books I have listed, but will provide any artwork on separate paper if you'd like it to relate to a work I'm not offering. I certainly appreciate all the requests I'm receiving about sending books or purchasing other books and will definitely - at some point - take everyone up on those offers. I didn't expect to be so popular!At this time, I'm looking to complete the artwork etc. before the end of February and find new homes for the books currently listed - any not spoken for will be donated to a local library, since I truly do need them out of our soon-to-be nursery. I'll be pretty busy in March, April, and May (what with creating new life and all) and don't want to leave any unfinished projects waiting. However, after our first edition limited baby arrives, I'll be more than happy to return to remarquing!
Bill... the Haven Fund does continue to collect donations for quite some time, correct? I'll simply have a second-wave of fundraising in a few months, if that works for you.
Krystle, I'd be happy with either the Sherlock Holmes book or the Chet Williams book. I'm just looking for more reading material. Most though I am looking forward to your own. That was my motivation in this. Send me whichever you like. Surprise me!
Namelessandnotevenclosetopooranymore- I was about to say I had an extra copy I could send, but I forgot I loaned it to someone who shortly after abruptly moved to FL with it. Now all I have are foreign editions and a s/l.
Hope your arm gets better soon Krystle !!!
We all float down here!
Arm is improving! Today I finished up the dreamcatcher... the Dreamcatcher remarque will be finished sometime this week. I'll be sketching up some drafts tomorrow.
Without decorative additions...
And the finished product!
Awesome Krystle !!!!
We all float down here!
Glad you like it! I'm just hope the webbing stays stiff... sometimes a drastic change in temperature loosens things up. I've never mailed one of these before, so I hope it holds up well on the trip! Also, I decided on all natural elements, so there is no glue used (most dreamcatchers you purchase will be reinforced with it). If a feather slips out of place, it should slip right back in.
Today I'll be drafting out the remarque. I've got an idea that I think will work well... and since I have a dreamcatcher tattoo, I'm really excited to sketch this one out. I'm stepping up my game a bit after seeing the In Mint Condition illustrations, as well. Then I'll get moving on both the story for Brice and the remarque for Patrick!
Don't forget... both Four Past Midnight books still have the artwork OR short story offer available! I'll also toss out these special offers: The Green Mile single artwork/remarque OR 6 art card set for the series, Needful Things artwork/remarque OR hand drawn bookmarks 'things'. Feel free to mix-n-match offers if you have something else in mind!! These books MUST go before the end of the month!
QUESTION: I could get a lot more detail and an overall better image with pencil... but I worry that such artwork won't last as well over time. What does everyone think about pencil remarques??
I would think pencil would hold up fine in a book not read too often.Glad you like it! I'm just hope the webbing stays stiff... sometimes a drastic change in temperature loosens things up.

Fantastic Krystle, very much looking forward to seeing what you do with the Dreamcatcher sketch too (BTW - I'm with Bill, pencil holds up just fine providing the book itself isn't handled too much)
We all float down here!
Well, then I'll try out your remarque in pencil and see how it goes!
Sounds right fine to me Krystle
We all float down here!
I am VERY pleased with the sketch... and started work on the final remarque (in pencil) last night because I was on a roll. What I plan to do is almost finish it, take a photo to get some feedback, and then polish it off. There are a few ideas I have, but I don't want to over do things. lol I should have a photo to post either tonight or tomorrow!
Finished the Dreamcatcher remarque! I decided to polish it off as is... I'm much happier with the pencil!! I'll post the photo when I get home from work, box up the book and dreamcatcher, and have it in the mail (weather permitting) tomorrow or Friday.
I also started on Brice's story... and boy am I enjoying it! There will be a lot of description and backstory to start, so the "meat" will be more of a quick and sweet dessert.

And the short story for Brice is complete!! Boy, do I feel productive today. It is titled "Lucky" and is just under 2,000 words. A printed copy with signature and date will be mailed out in the next few days.
I'll work on sketching some Talisman ideas next.
And a close up of the feathers:
Very nice.
