Hey Paul, per our agreement, my kidney removal begins next week. You should see the black market money soon in your bank account.

Wish me luck.

If I were a Project Manager, I'd probably throw out a warning about Scope Creep ... luckily you're the PM!

I hear that. If you're a Buffy fan, you'll know what I'm talking about, but I follow the "Beer-Good-More-Beer!" philosophy. Even though I'm not a beer drinker, the concept stands...

Here's a typical conversation I have with myself:

"But Paul, the Suede material is more expensive!"
"I know, but feel it! Doesn't it feel good!?"
"Yes, but what about the cost?"
"Forget about the cost man, we'll figure that out later!"

Sometimes I have to reign things in, but I've made several "upgrades" to things as we've moved through production.


Something else coming down the pipeline eh? At this point, I should probably just set up a payroll deduction..:Money emoticon: Very much looking forward to whatever it is:biggrin1:

It's going to be great. Check Facebook for teasers over the next few weeks.

Will they be Signed by Mr. Strong?
:evil:At least the lettered.

So we're going to get all copies signed by Mark Strong, and the copies that go in the Lettered Edition Portfolio will also be signed by Palladini. We've also come up with a really nice signature sheet. The biography books that ship with the Numbered Portfolio will be numbered, and the books that ship with the Lettered Portfolio will be lettered. And yes, numbers/letters will be matched. Looks like this one turned into an official limited edition as well. Thanks for the idea Bruce! It's going to look great.

[wolfehr]

I have no idea how you've managed to continually improve what started out as an amazing project, but I'm blown away by every update. This is awesome!

Do you know if it'll be possible to purchase a reading copy from Mr. Strong. I think with this update I might be too scared to read the copy that comes with the portfolio :)

Yeah I hear ya Bruce, that damn bit of ribbon is a PITA too. I don't know why the bookbinders cant just trim off the excess material to make it look neat. I always just cut mine off and give it to the wife to tie her hair up.

Like Simon says, read it... ;-) But if you damage it in some way, drop me a line. I'm pretty close with the publisher and I think I could get you a replacement copy.


YOU'R WELCOME!....But what the HELL do I know about collecting AUTOGRAPHS?:lol:

I know you're new to collecting books with autographs. At least with this one, it will give you, what... 10 autographed books? Wait, I think I left a couple of zeroes off there...

Proof copies of the Palladini bio came in today. The book is 8x10. I'm really pleased with how it's looking. Apologies if the photo is a little blurry. I didn't have a lot of time to shoot this one.

[zelig]

Thanks for the comments all.

I have to add more pages to the bio as I discovered a bunch of new images and photographs yesterday that are perfect for a biography, so I'm working to get them added to the final version.

Also, there's something new that will be announced on May 30th. Been working on this for months and finally coming to fruition. I'm very excited about it. Hints have been dropping on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/suntupeditions/) the past few days, and will continue until the announcement.

Firestarter Portfolio? Or is that already in the mix?

[TravelinJack]

New ART for FIRESTARTER including images of THE SHOP?

Jinx? Sorta :-)

[zelig]

Good guesses, but not even close.

[idlewarnings]

The green rooftops are from the original cover art for The Shining.
I'm guessing early cover art portfolio.

[zelig]

You're right on the rooftops but it's not a portfolio.

[needfulthings]

New designed King Dust jackets?

Original cover art book collection.

[needfulthings]

I believe THAT book is called Knowing Darkness.

[jsmcmullen92]

It's Shining, Salem's Lot, Fire-starter... are you doing a portfolio of original covers?

[TravelinJack]

I believe THAT book is called Knowing Darkness.

Good point. Mayhap this is a new and improved (potentially less heavy) version? Hmmm, maybe it is a blend of reprinted original cover art for a select handful of books with new art accompanying?

Misery? Wait a second all of these are starting to look like the same style of art. Hmmm, is this a single artists compilation of scenery from various top titles!?

A portfolio is a specific thing. This could still be an art compilation. After all, he is showing cover art.

[stroppygoblin]

It's clearly a model village based on all the books that show houses. The Fire-starter image is one of the houses on fire - Paul has such attention to detail on these things...

Yup, could definitely be an art compilation. Just betting against it for that reason.

Now I'm thinking maybe a print of some sort of print that encapsulates bunch of different king books? Maybe something like a view of Castle Rock with a bunch of references to the various books.

Misery? Wait a second all of these are starting to look like the same style of art. Hmmm, is this a single artists compilation of scenery from various top titles!?

Not the same artist for images shown so far. 'Salem's Lot and The Shining artist is the same (Dave Christensen) but Misery (Bob Giusti) and Firestarter (Stephen Stroud) are different.

Nightmares and Dreamscapes.

The Viking Years?

No, there have been some Doubleday covers in there as well. Someone's guess was close. Whoever is closest will get a discount coupon. Not long to wait now for the reveal.

[George at C-Springs]

I would say a print of a map of Castle Rock, using the book covers to designate all the locations. As a bonus, it would be signed by the artists. For the record (and future consideration as a project?) I really liked the idea of bookmarks based on the stories, perhaps original artwork but reprints would also work, again signed by the artists. Price on something like that hopefully wouldn't be too over-the-top so could be affordable for more of our folks here. Could even make 'em a bit fancy!

[racerx45]

Looks great Paul,

Two questions for you (feel free to put these on the QWDNTYWA, Questions we did not think you would ask, page)

1 – With a new print being released each month and having the first three ready to ship now will the fourth one be next month or in September?

2- The Golden Ticket, is this a one-time only thing or will there be one of one for each print?

[zelig]

Wow... what a response. Haven't stopped receiving emails and texts. And thanks for all the kind comments all. The project was a labor of love for me. It's almost all I did from early am to around midnight 7 days a week. So far we've had over 500 video views in the first hour.

Good questions! The next print will be released July 1st, so no waiting 3 months. The Golden Ticket, for now, is a one-time only. But I may re-introduce it again at various points throughout the series.

I'd like to know more about the framing. I didn't see any pricing on the website for framing.

[zelig]

I'd like to know more about the framing. I didn't see any pricing on the website for framing.

The frame pricing will be on the shop site. I'll add them to the main page on the website as it's a good question. Here are the prices. Subscribers get 10% off these prices.

Large Generic: $250
Large Custom: $350
Small Generic: $180
Small Custom: $230

You can see pictures of the frames on the site. (Generic frame is the same across all prints. Custom is different for each print, designed to match the print coloring more closely.)

[Brian861]

Simply amazing, Paul! Even if you are always two hours behind :). And another great video production. It'd rival many blockbuster productions. I also love the heads up on ordering. Reckon it'll crash your site? :scared:

[The Library Policeman]

Paul, it's an amazing project. Well done mate. :)

[racerx45]

Another question.

With the example of a limitation of 100 for sale; is that for each size (200 total) or 100 total (quantity for each size will vary depending on what is ordered)?

[zelig]

Thanks all!

Each size has a limitation of 100, so there are a total of 200 prints. The quantity will not vary based on what is ordered. It's an official limitation of 100, numbered 1-100, so I have committed to making that quantity.

We have a winner of the impromptu "hint" contest. This member was the closest the soonest with his guess: "Movie poster sized/styled reprints of legacy covers!? If not, that would be pretty cool to have."

Congratulations to TravelinJack! He has already been emailed a coupon code to use at the store on opening day.

[Roseannebarr]

Amazing Project Paul congrats but your timing couldn't be worse we will be at breakfast with Steven King that morning I hope to show him your project if not him then Owen

Put me down for one subscription

[peripheral]

I just read about this new project and watched the video. What an innovative, incredible, and high-quality project. Paul, you are truly a talented individual and the passion for Suntup Editions, and Stephen King's work, shines through. Congratulations.

PS - In that earlier vid, how cool does Palladini look, kicking it in his Puma wear :cool:

The Covers Collection is now available to order.

https://shop.suntup.press

[wolfehr]

Order is in! Went for the remarque subscription with the folio box.

[TravelinJack]

Order in as well! Woohoo. Went for Remarque subscription as well with foil box.

[TravelinJack]

Couldn't help myself, got a subscription of the small prints and the Spiral Promo as well. Killing me with all the coolness Paul. ;-)

Very much looking forward to seeing these in person!

[zelig]

Thank you everyone who ordered for your support. The launch went great. About a minute after I took down the password screen the orders began to flood in. My phone kept dinging as each order was received. That was certainly fun.

Now I have a good problem to deal with. That of packing and shipping all these orders. Wow. Not sure if I will be getting much sleep over the next week.

I will do my very best to start shipping in the next few days but please bear with me.

Again, thank you for your support. With this series of prints, I'm really pleased to be able to focus the spotlight on the artists and the work they did on the books we love.

[zelig]

Of course, the most requested # is 19. No surprise there.

[TravelinJack]

Good ol' 19. :smile:

[T-Dogz_AK47]

If the cover sheets were from the Dark Tower books, I would understand why #19 would be insanely popular.

I'm surprised that #1 is not the most requested # to be honest....

Thanks Richard. Right now there are 15 total covers confirmed. Two of those are from S/L books. I have a few more in the works and just waiting on confirmation from the artists.

There's no deadline for ordering, but you should try to get an order in soon as they have been selling well so far. The Remarque subscriptions are almost gone. All the details are on the site here (https://suntup.press/covers-collection-fine-art-prints/).

Two are S/L? Interesting. I missed that one, did you disclose which ones?

[zelig]

Yes, in a subtle way. Look at the part where it talks about forthcoming artists. They will both be spectacular. I have a sample print of one so far and I love it. It's the best reproduction I've seen of that cover. Actually I can say that about all of them. ;-)

[T-Dogz_AK47]

Christine and Firestarter are the two S/L. :thumbsup:

Spent all weekend fulfilling orders for The Covers Collection. All orders will ship out today. If you ordered and did not receive a shipping notice, please let me know.

The Golden Ticket winner was chosen at random. We used a random number generator to select a number within the order # range. I don't recognize the winner as a member of the forum, but they could be. Just don't know for sure. This was a fun part for me, and I can see us doing it again. So if you weren't the lucky recipient, there will be another chance.

Here's a pic of what it looks like.

Hi Heath. The boxes will ship separately as there is a 6-8 week lead time on those. It does state that on the product page, but maybe it wasn't noticeable enough. I made it red now. Thanks for the order.

Thank you Tommy. Yes, that is a common problem. You're not the first to have taken the prints for a swim before reading the instructions completely. It's easily fixable. Staple the print to the drywall, then get a hair dryer and turn the heat to the max. Then point it at the print for about 10 minutes, moving it up and down as you do. It will be dry in no time. The holes from the staples, you can just put some tape over and you'll be fine.

Happy to hear you got the prints. Have received nothing but great feedback. Hard at work on the next release for July.

In other news, we are a month away from the release of The Eyes of the Dragon Art Portfolio, and everything is on track.

Here's some behind-the-scenes pictures I thought would be of interest.


The photogravure prints have been completed and are on hand.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/pg_delivery.jpg

And this is a look at an uncut proof sheet of one of the prints that will be included in the Lettered Edition. I've never seen the artwork look this good. They are all printed on beautiful cotton paper and they look and feel amazing. Really happy with the result.

Holy sh!t, look at that quality and clarity. That second pic really shows just how solid of a reproduction that is. Yeesh. Someone else said it before. You keep this up Paul, you are going to find a lot of broke DT'ers. Broke but happy with awesome artwork. :thumbsup:

[TravelinJack]

Quick question and this was already covered before and I could be very late to the game, but is there also a Firestarter portfolio to coincide with the rebound edition, much like you have here with EoD?

[needfulthings]

Since there is only one piece of art connected with the 1st Edition Firestarter.... I assume the answer is no.
http://imageshack.com/a/img923/8026/9nMiZS.jpg

[Randall Flagg]

Never assume.

The artist could have produced numerous pieces, yet only one was chosen for the cover-obviously.

Suntup is digging out unseen art. Even more than Centipede Press did for Knowing Darkness.

Rather than be negative, celebrate the positive. Paul got off his ass and contacted artists that few can dream of doing.

Dragon Rebound and Suntup are doing the most amazing things, at an unparalleled production level.

The only negative I can think of is the debit to my account for buying them all.

[zelig]

Correct, there is no Firestarter portfolio. There is a small 6x9 print that will be included with the custom bound book and the original remarques that Steve did which will be bound into the book.

There will be a Covers Collection edition of the Firestarter art. :smile:

[TravelinJack]

All very good!

[zelig]

Talking about unseen art, watch for next month's print!

In terms of Firestarter, I know of a sketch that was done which has never seen the light of day. At least not outside the publisher. And of course, there are the two eye color versions. Interesting thing is, on the original art, the eyes are blue, not green like on the cover. They started out green, and then for the paperback were changed to blue, but they were changed on the original. So no original exists with green eyes.

Do you have a wish date release of the Firestarter?

Yes. I actually just got off the phone with Jim who is making the boards. I don't typically set official 'release dates' for the custom bound books, but right now the Firestarters should be done around July as well. The boards need to be air dried and not kiln dried, so the drying process takes longer. We're getting there. Everything else is lined up and ready to go.

Did we ever get a look at the custom handmade traycase? Still hoping for July? :excited:

Another behind-the-scenes peek for you. Things are starting to get a little crazy over here. After almost a year of planning, it is all coming together. Some of the key elements of The Eyes of the Dragon Art Portfolio have started to show up, as the release date of July 7th approaches. I set that date early on, and made a commitment to stick to it, and right now everything is on track. Today I received a delivery of the prints for the numbered edition. It's all on a pallet weighing 500lbs.

Look closely at the print... that is what is bad ass. Paul can give more insight but that was an original cover that Bob wanted to use!!!!

I love the original art versus what was used on the book. Hard to imagine that such an iconic and great cover was not as good as it could have been. Thanks Paul for bringing this to light and sharing it with all of us.

Simon, I had to go back to my notes. Thankfully, I documented the discussion. How I found out about it isn't too exciting. I had asked Bob to send me a hi-res scan or transparency of the original so I could reproduce it. These prints really look best when reproduced from a scan or film of the original. Taking a scan of the cover obviously doesn't really work.

Anyway, they sent me the file, and when I opened it, I noticed the difference. So I asked, and Bob had forgotten because it was so long ago, but seeing the two versions jogged his memory and then he told me the story behind it. The nice thing was that this version has always been his favorite, and he was really pleased that it was now going to be seen by more people.

There isn't much more about why the changes were requested. Bob just said they asked him to make the claw bigger, and obviously remove the oil slick. They also darkened the image and changed the coloring. The water is also way more detailed in this version.

As to how I got his agreement to use it, I just charmed them with my accent.

If you are a subscriber and want to order some but not all framed, how does that process work?

I'm speechless by this project. I'm trying to convince my wife to let me hang more on the walls, because my study is already full with bookcases. :D

I agree that a remarque by Bob Giusti would be incredible!

Thanks Ari. If I can render someone speechless, I guess I've done something right...


Just made my first purchase from Suntup Press.

I'm excited :D

Alan, thanks for the order! I appreciate the support. It will ship on release day.


If you are a subscriber and want to order some but not all framed, how does that process work? For example, with the upcoming IT release, is there a chance to see the framing options and make a request before the subscription for that month is processed? Sorry if that is answered somewhere but I could not find it.

Hi Richard, thanks for the question. So by default, none of the prints are shipped framed. A single print, or a subscription order will get you the unframed prints. How it works is that as a subscriber, you will receive an email on the 15th of every month showing you the next print in the series. In that email you will be provided with a link to upgrade the print to a framed option if you would like. So subscribers are given an option to upgrade each print in the series before they are released.

With regard to seeing the framing options, those are all shown on the individual product page. For example, for the upcoming IT print, you can scroll down the page to see the images, or simply select the framed option from the drop down, and the image on the left will change to the option you selected.

Here's a link to the IT product page:

I received my cover collection today. Very nice prints. But I have to ask a stupid question -- is the Shining print signed in a different spot than the others? I'm not seeing a signature on it. Apologize for the link, but not having any luck uploading the photo.

Yikes! That shouldn't be. Looks like you got an unsigned copy. Very rare!

Apologies for that! I will have a replacement sent out to you today.

No problem. Thanks for the quick response. I was sitting there looking at it thinking I must be missing something :)

The replacement has been shipped via FedEx 2-Day. You will receive an email with the tracking #. Apologies again for the oversight. ;-)

Note to self: don't forget to put the signature sheets in the box for the EOTD portfolio.

So are you telling us these are shipping soonish? :excited:

Yep, that is correct. I'm really pleased that I was able to meet my original publication deadline of July 7th. It will be published on that day. Shipping will start then, and those who ordered will receive a shipping notification.

Everything is a little crazy here right now. I have pallets and boxes everywhere. Today we collated the lettered edition prints (and I only got half-way before I realized I forgot the signature sheets, so everything is under control. The important thing is not to panic. I could have shipped them all and then realized!)

[wolfehr]

Best of luck getting across the home stretch Paul! Agree it's best to keep a clear head and not panic. I know everything is in good hands and will turn out fine :)

Thanks Heath.

I want to post some pics, but would also prefer to wait until everyone has them in hand so it's more of a surprise. And I still need to do a more professional photoshoot which will happen soon.

I'm currently assembling the Lettered editions, and I'm thankful there are only 26 letters in the alphabet. Putting these together is intense. Anyway, here's just two little teaser pics. The finished box with all the contents weighs in at just over 7lbs.

Paul at Suntup Editions has graciously donated an Artist Proof copy of the Pet Sematary print (limited to only 10 copies and signed by the artist) to my annual AIDS fund. The auction is up now. I started it with a low price, hoping to get some generous bids. THANK YOU PAUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul is the best!

He really is pretty freaking amazing! Not only because this auction will bring in some good money for our charities this year, but he's so easy and cool to work with! He was the first person I bought books from here when I rejoined the boards a couple years ago and he's always been great to work with.

[becca69]

Yep. He's not too bad to work with :ninja:

:lol:

Very cool of Paul! Jonathan, excuse the hijack, Paul, will you be linking the other items you're auctioning for the annual fund elsewhere?

[zelig]

So when I need a pick-me-up, I will be sure to check in here. Thanks y'all for saying such nice things.

Jonathan, you're welcome. Brian, right now nothing else is being auctioned. I have already donated a few items to the HF fundraiser, unless I'm not following ya.

There is a cool unboxing contest coming up and I'm expecting to see some videos from forum members. Will post details when I'm more awake. Been packing boxes all day long.
