    Default David Palumbo, Artist

    I thought it was appropriate to start a new Thread for David Palumbo.

    His introduction to the world of King collectors will come with the release of CD's 'Salem's Lot as he has produced 6 full-color illustrations for the publication. I was extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to acquire 3 of the 6 original pieces (2 Covers/1 Interior) and they are absolutely, without question, stunning pieces of work.

    Our own David Williamson also has an Interior so, proud to say that 4 of the 6 pieces are with the TDT family.

    Palumbo is also in the process of creating 10 full-color illustrations for the 25th Anniversary Edition Summer of Night by Dan Simmons.

    This guy is the REAL DEAL. Based on what he's done for 'Salem's as well as what I anticipate his contributions to be going forward, he's earned a Thread.

    I have to 100% agree with you Tim. I have a cover prelim by him and it is just unreal.... his work is different, dark and to put it bluntly... mesmerizing. I have spoken to him many times and he is a GREAT guy as well. David is young and just getting a good start in the field... he pushed me over the edge for Summer of Night and I believe he will be one of the greats in time to come....

    I own (of course) "The Breaking of Father Callahan". It is simply awesome. I really really like David's work.

    I had emailed David for a quote on "Bite" as potentially my first major art purchase, but it was significantly more than I could go (and frankly worth it). I'm glad that AKC has it and the Marsten House cover in safe hands. I don't know when I was last as excited by a "new" SK artist's artwork. Here's hoping Salem's Lot won't be the last.

    Thanks again for that! It may be the crown jewel of my collection (definitely the nicest piece of art I own)! I'll try to take a better picture of it and load it later, if not though I do have it in my collection thread. Dave's art is outstanding, I wasn't instantly enamoured when CD spoiled the art for 'Salem's Lot.

    These original Salem's CD covers are gorgeous, Tim. For my taste, I prefer the realism of artists, like Palumbo, and his use of greys / dark hues gives them the right creepiness for this project. I wasn't lucky enough to get him to remarque my CD Salem's Lot, but scored a Palumbo remarque for my Salem's art portfolio today!

    I always thought David Palumbo was amazing since he did the artwork for the Centipede Press deluxe edition of The Anubis Gates by Tim Powers.


    As a real bonus, this edition had an additional artbook housed within the slipcase, that featured full colour prints of David Palumbo's stunning artwork...


    These are simply stunning!






    David very kindly inscribed this remarque for me and linked the drawing to a direct passage in the book....

    Received my 3rd Original Piece from Dave today from the upcoming Cemetery Dance Edition of 'Salem's Lot. He has called it "The Bitter Waters".

    Context from Dave...

    "The Bitter Waters is a portrait of Ben moments before staking Susan. He's holding his tools and overcome with despair. At this point, the colors have shifted even more sickly and sinister as he's about to cross a line he can't come back from....."

    Headed to the frame shop tomorrow.....Enjoy!

    Awesome!
    Mr. Palumbo has done an excellent job of capturing the mood of the story with his artwork. I had a few email exchanges with him and I could tell he really did his homework. His goal was to portray characters facing difficult decision points during the story (Mike Ryerson deciding to open Danny Glick's casket, Matt Burke going upstairs when he hears a noise in his guest bedroom, Ben Mears' agonizing decision to stake Susan Norton and Father Callahan's hesitation to drive Barlow away with the cross in the Petrie's kitchen) and it would appear that he succeeded.

    Really nice, Tim! Are you married? If so, will your wife let you hang your King related artwork anywhere you want? Or is she like mine and want images like that somewhat hidden?
