Just curious, Wiz. How are you going to display these now that you've had to move your collection home?

Very good question. Tension is running high in my household over these books. We have settled on where to put the book cases (two of them are being made to my specifications and will take another 2 months to receive), but artwork display has not been discussed yet. I have 3 pieces with Audrey and I still have to discuss frames with her. Unfortunately, I cannot display all of my artwork. All four of my character sketches from Gunslinger Born will likely never be framed or displayed. I am getting the Gilead scene framed and also the two Wrightson pencil sketches I acquired a year ago. Even then, there will have to be some really sweet talking to get them up.
I already have 3 whelan originals and a S/L Gunslinger print up, so to add 3 more will be a challenge. We have the room to be sure, but my wife does not want the house to be overrun by gunslingers.
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.
Get her to read the books, so she'll love them too.John-

Some women (and I have to say my wife is also among them) just don't have the right perspective on the important things!

Brice-
She just read the whole Dark Tower series within the last 6 months. She enjoyed them but they didn't rock her world. Nice suggestion though.

I'd be happy to display them in my house for you.

That might be what I'm thinking of. I know King got those sample pages, and for some reason I thought that the 2Pg spread that was listed as "SOLD" the minute the first issue was posted up went to him too.
If you EVER want to sell that splash, PLEASE let me know!
Three...Whelan...Originals...??!! WOW
Do you have pics of them anywhere online??
Yes, I do. In my collections folder, but here they are.Three...Whelan...Originals...??!! WOW

This is NOTHING! You should see carlosdetweiller's collection. He has several Whelan originals from both the Gunslinger and DT VII as well as many originals from the other books in the series.

Wow! It doesn't matter how often I see them, those are amazing.

Agreed.

Wow.
And did I mention... wow!
That is an impressive collection!!!

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
Love the Tower Road piece
My ultimate grail would be Whelans painting of the Crimson King atop his throne
Two signed Whelan prints are being given away on May 19th, donate for an entry if you can!

Nice plug for the Haven Foundation fundraiser, Matt.
Wiz, your DT art collection, both Whelan and Lee, is fantastic.
The obvious solution is for you to sell your house, and buy a new home with a nice big home office for you to hang all your artwork and display all your books. Then you'd be happy, and your wife would be happy because her whole house wouldn't be overrun with your art.
I know, I know, I'm a genius. Thank you.

Why didn't I think of that!
So....anybody want to buy a house, or should I start a new thread for that? LOL

Hey, I tried.
Anyhow, this is just what you were hoping when she read them wasn't it?
Wiz, those are amazing!!
Now..when looking at the first one...I want to read the whole saga again (this would be the 4th time complete and the seventh from 1-4 volumes).

Again, I'd be happy to display them in my house for you.
Just trying to be helpful.

*************BREAKING NEWS FLASH******************
At long last, I just got an e-mail from Jae Lee (I haven't heard back from him in at least 2 months).......
HE IS MOVING TO LAS VEGAS AT THE END OF THIS MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, he told me to drop by his apartment so I could get some things signed (yes Ari, finally I am going to deliver!)
And as we speak, he just sent another mail answering several questions I had.
HE IS NOT LEAVING MARVEL
He said it doesn't matter where he lives since all the art is sent electronically.
The reason he is moving is simple...as he puts it.....POKER ANYTIME and with the condo market such a mess there, there are some great deals.
I am going to see him tomorrow adter lunch.

Wiz -
Might sound silly, but could you please pass on to him how much we appreciate his art for Dark Tower and how great it is. I dont want to sound too much like a "fanboy" or whatever, but I really think he's so very talented.
Long Days,
turtlex
