Ned Dameron, Artist

[tippy4]

Opening bid of $500.

[Randall Flagg]

Congratulations.

[tippy4]

Thanks Jerome.....I don't know if the buyer is a member here or not as I do not recognize the name.

The remarque that ended today (stork-thing) is sold to a buyer I do not know.

Next up....Eddie & Susannah (later this week).

He's a member over at the Haunt - you shouldn't have any problems with the sale.

That's good news...I think that one 'deserved' to sell at $500, given the unique, yes, but not exactly fan-favorite stork subject matter, but I'm also glad that somebody unrelated to the usual suspects here stepped up to get it.

I think Eddie/Susannah will go for something decent...$650? $700?

I will see what Blaine looks like...if there's one with a chance for me to bid, it's that one.

Oh I was not implying that I had concerns about the sale....just pointing out that he was not one of the usual suspects (as Rahfa called them above).

I asked where he had heard about the remarques, and he told me he first through Lilja, and then through Horror Mall (thanks for that Eric).

[tippy4]

Still do not have the latest two remarques....I would think no later than tomorrow.

[Patrick]

Congrats you and Ned on the stork-thing sale, and the buyer on the purchase. I really liked that one.

Any idea of the value of one of the 2000 DT III Wastelands Portfolios signed by Dameron?

About $30 as it is still available from Donald M. Grant books.

Thanks! Those are pretty cool and saw some on Ebay for $99. I think I will get a set.

[Ricky]

Do yourself a favor and get one! One of my favorite SK purchases for sure.

[tippy4]

The next two remarques are here...and they're REALLY good!

[e_taylor]

Awesome!

Only the picture of the book itself is showing up in the listing right now though - no remarque photo.

EDIT - now I see the note in the listing, my bad!

[tippy4]

Auction now has images.

This one will go up for sale after Eddie & Susannah.



I am really impressed with both of these.

I just might be placing a bid on one of them myself!

[tippy4]

And they even have red eyes....

[Rahfa]

Seems like they're getting a little more elaborate as time goes on...

[wizardsrainbow]

Very nice indeed! And as I am going to Maine on Monday, I will tell everyone that I have my snipe in place on the Eddie & Susannah one, cause I really want that one.

I got my preliminary drawings from Ned yesterday and a very nice testimonial which I will post hopefully before I leave in a couple days.

[Patrick]

Those are great, tippy. Nice work yet again, Ned!


Wiz, looking forward to your story upon your return.

[Fsmdr]

Hmm...

I really like the last pictures. Btw...you can't bid on your own auction,Rick. Because I might just bid on it.

[wizardsrainbow]

Ah well, who needs sleep these days. Everyone else is in bed, so I might as well post these pics and story.

Ari posted some pics that Ned Dameron sent him of some preliminary work Ned did for Dark Tower III The Waste Lands. I was interested in purchasing the Roland and Susannah prelims, so I called Ned and we agreed on a sale price. Well, I sent a check and letter out last Friday and I don't think he had received it yet before he sent the goods to me FedEx on Monday. When I spoke to Ned, he yold me that these Roland prelims were based on Clint Eastwood and is infamous smirk/smile which Ned was trying to capyure. Donald Grant didn't much like the look, so Ned ended up redesigning Roland after seeing Chuck Connors in a movie. The Susannah sketches were in fact a prelim of the painting that actually made it into the book "Hold me still, Roland." Ned told me that Susannah was based on a Silver Springs schoolgirl that Ned saw getting on his bus one day. He was taken with her face and hairstyle, so he used it as his model of Susannah.

The sletches came encased in two pieces of thick foam core taped together. The sketches are taped securely inside and each sketch is covered in transparent parchment paper, which I have yet to remove (and I do not plan to at present). So you will have to be satisfied with my pics that are covered. Ned also sent me a letter/testimonial which I have included. I covered up his phone number, as he is kind of a private man and to respect that. So here are several pictures"

[Patrick]

Great story, David, thanks for sharing. Congrats on adding these preliminary drawings to your collection.

[jhanic]

Wow!

John

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, David!

Ned told me that Susannah was based on a Silver Springs schoolgirl that Ned saw getting on his bus one day.

I found it interesting that all the work for DTIII was done in Silver Spring and Jake was modeled after one of his artist friend's son from Takoma Park. All very quite interesting, I thought.

Too bad he doesn't live here in MD anymore.

Anyway, as usual, I'm jealous of your new items.
