:excited:HAVE BEEN INFORMED SOMETHING 'IT" RELATED IS IN THE MAIL!

[Brian861]

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.

Sorry for the confusion, Paul. I was asking Jonathan about his auctions for his fund raiser.

[zelig]

Here is a copy/paste from FB.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/263064873124

A reminder that this auction ends in 2 1/2 hours!!!!! Still at a good price for this rare item but please remember that this is for a deserving charity!

Happy release day! They look even better than I thought they would! All the hard work paid off. Wish I could be there to help.

[Alec]

I think we are all aware of the standard of the items you produce. These lettered and signed limiteds cannot fail to impress. I never expected they would look so desirable. Yet again a brilliant conception and production.

Some items are essential to have in a collection, you have just published another one!!

Congratulations Paul.

Kinda. I reveal all the details on the 15th of the month for the upcoming month's print, but I will say that for August, it is a Dark Tower related print!

Interesting thing about that US proof, Palladini did a bunch of sketches before working on the final illustrations, and some are reprinted in the proof. One of them is that title page illustration. There were more done than what was in the proof, but as far as anyone knows, those are lost to the sands of time.

Thanks Rebecca, believe me, I wish you could have been here to help too! It has been absolutely nuts here.

Well, I am taking a much-needed break for a moment. I have spent the past week or so working from morning until around 12am - 1am assembling and packing the portfolios.

Most were shipped today, and I am planning on finalizing any remaining orders tomorrow.

For those who have not seen it yet, I am excited to reveal some of the first product shots. There are more, but don't want to spoil any surprises for when you receive your copies.

A year in the making!

Enjoy!

Well I hate to be “that guy” but I have a real problem with this portfolio. I’m looking at these photos and can’t understand why more people aren’t complaining too. The issue is I only ordered the number and only seeing the tray case for the lettered I want to scream that I don’t have one coming to my house! The photos of the numbered are amazing so I am guessing that if I see the rest of the lettered I might lose my mind.

[TravelinJack]

Received my copies of the 'It' cover. Amazing. Probably my favorite so far. Although, I'll probably say that the next time around too.

Great work as always Paul and thank you!

AND WAIT UNTIL YOU SEE THE GREEN DRAGON SCALE SEPARATOR.

Thanks for posting those pictures Bruce. I actually love that green page! I got the idea when I saw a similar page in a swatch book from a paper supplier. But I completely customized this one. It is printed on a translucent sheet, the green color is printed on a clear sheet, and then a second run using a special printing process embosses that reptilian pattern on the surface. So when you run your fingers over it, you can feel the scales.

The debossed scales on the Title page were blind-stamped on the letterpress machine. That page actually had to go through three separate printings on the same page to achieve the results you see.

I'm expecting a video! BTW, I see there is already a video that was posted. Thanks CHAD!!

So thanks for all the comments everyone. This project was a massive undertaking. I'll spare you the gory details for now, but it was a year of non-stop work to publish these editions. I hope you all enjoy them. I know they have not all been delivered yet, but all orders have now shipped. So it's just a matter of time. I'm taking copies to David on Thursday as he hasn't even seen them yet! Can't wait to see his reaction.

[Rachel Readman]

David will be absolutely gobsmacked and no doubt quite emotional to see his work and life so beautifully represented. Outstanding work and it's clear to see you put your heart and soul into your work Paul! You should be very proud of what you've achieved.

[biomieg]

Hear, hear! I am very sorry that I am not in the position to be a Suntup/Dragon Rebound customer due to the excessive costs of my studies but I love seeing what you come up with and how our friends here react to your work.

I keep telling you Michaël, you've got your priorities all wrong. :-P

Great idea James. Not sure why I didn't think of this, but Mark Strong who wrote the bio suggested I film him, so I am planning on doing that. I'll take my Canon camera and a tripod, and use the video function to film it all.

BTW, I forgot to post this link yesterday. Here's a blog post with an image gallery of the portfolios:

I just opened my numbered edition of THE EYES OF THE DRAGON ART PORTFOLIO, and I have to admit this is one project that is worth WAY more than what it cost, not only financially, but emotionally and artistically as well. It was just one exciting surprise after another to see what what was included in the box! I'm almost afraid to touch it, it's so beautiful (even the wrapping paper is like...you know...totally awesome, dude!).

And, drum-roll please...EVERY single piece of tape was FOLDED OVER on itself for ease of removal! What will they think of next!!!

[Tommy]

Mine will be here tomorrow!!! If we ordered the lettered and the numbered do we get to make two video entries?:evil:

[zelig]

Thanks for the order Alan. George, excited for your new phone book! Steve, thanks so much for the great feedback. So pleased that you are happy with it, and yeah I folded over every one of those suckers. May have missed one or two but those are the special tape variants so all good.

Tommy, sure two videos works. There will be two winners chosen at random. One for the lettered and one for the numbered. I just got the canvas wraps signed today.

I am stuck in a tower awaiting delivery. Can I request some additional napkins (maybe a thousand or so?) I have a plan that might just work....

[Tommy]

Received mine and made my videos but haven't posted yet. Paul, I love you! :wub: Sorry, hope that wasn't too incredibly awkward. :redface:

These portfolios are some of the nicest items I've ever seen. I don't see how you were able to keep the prices as low as you did. WOW! It really did take me back to childhood and opening presents on Christmas morning. Just incredible all around experience. OK, I'm gushing now and need to stop. Thank you Paul!! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

[zelig]

Aw, shucks, thanks Tommy! I'm pleased that you are so happy with them. That's a big part of the enjoyment for me, of making them. Good point on the prices. I think I will raise the price on the copies that are left.

As the publisher I don't think that's a viable option. You could reasonably eliminate the bonus items though.

GOLDEN TICKET PRIZE WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT: When we launched THE COVERS COLLECTION series of fine art prints, one of the orders we shipped was chosen at random to receive a Golden Ticket. We are happy to announce that the winner of our GOLDEN TICKET prize is Mark Feely, who sent us these fantastic pics of his library.

You can see here his one-of-a-kind prize painting from Dave Christensen, and if you look closely you'll see our limited edition fine art print from MISERY also framed on his wall! We DO intend to run more Golden Ticket prizes like this from time to time, so look for a new Golden Ticket prize announcement from us soon!

I'm really looking forward to this video! And not that I don't mess up sometimes, but in this case Mr. RF was kidding, and light on the emojis...


Paul, please tell us more about that piece!

I asked Dave if he would be up for making a custom sketch for the winner of the Golden Ticket. He said sure. I told him that I will leave it completely up to him as to what he does, and can do any size he wants. I was expecting something along the lines of a black & white remarque-style drawing. Anyway, a few weeks later, I get this in the mail.

He had the following to say: "It is the burning Hotel and is a bit more than a drawing, there is airbrush, colored pencils, and some gouache. I thought it should have color…" He went above and beyond!

So it's an original painting. One of a kind. I neglected to note the size, but it was roughly 18" x 12".

[dnemec]

Sorry, Paul, meant painting. Had a bad day and started drinking early. :P Regardless, it's gorgeous!

I received my Lettered EOTD portfolio yesterday. Slight delay (mostly Paul's fault, but he's making it up to me) in shipping for a crazy reason.
Now I can start shooting my video to show me as I unfurl the portfolio.

I'm really looking forward to this video! And not that I don't mess up sometimes, but in this case Mr. RF was kidding, and light on the emojis...



Just goes to show that a joke without an emoji usually isn't funny. For the record, I was joking about Paul screwing up.

ok, i feel stupid asking, but I fear I must :)

I realized I didn't recall seeing the letter anywhere on my lettered EOTD Art Portfolio so I went back to look. I see that I have number 7 of 26...is that a G imprinted in the bottom right of the numbered print? I assume it is...I see the G, but there is something else there as well and I didn't know if it was just the fancy font or if I was missing something obvious lol

ugh, why didn't i go back through the portfolio again before posting that? lol

I was in a big rush going out of town when I got my package and just now actually got to sit and look at each picture and read through everything included. Found the lettered page along with the explanation that was posted above and came back to delete the post :). I will leave it be as an acknowledgment of my ignorance and impatience :doh:

Hi James. What Bruce said, but you should have a signature sheet toward the back of the portfolio, right after Palladini's afterword. It's under the green sheet. That page will have your letter written in. If you don't have it, let me know. Looks like you have the added benefit of the embossed "G" matching your letter, but that's just a coincidence, as it's the "G" in Jon Goodman's last name. ;-)

Edit: Was typing my reply when you posted, so missed it. Yup, you got it.

[AstroDad]

[Ben Mears]

I asked Dave if he would be up for making a custom sketch for the winner of the Golden Ticket. He said sure. I told him that I will leave it completely up to him as to what he does, and can do any size he wants. I was expecting something along the lines of a black & white remarque-style drawing. Anyway, a few weeks later, I get this in the mail.

He had the following to say: "It is the burning Hotel and is a bit more than a drawing, there is airbrush, colored pencils, and some gouache. I thought it should have color…" He went above and beyond!

So it's an original painting. One of a kind. I neglected to note the size, but it was roughly 18" x 12".

Classy move by artist and publisher.

One thing I will say about the portfolio...I went through the whole thing and I swear every time I turned a page I thought I had grabbed two...that is some seriously nice paper that my brain just couldn't wrap around only being one sheet lol.

[DoctorZaius]

Got this in the mail today - as you can see, I am worried for when I open it. I can actually put my finger in the hole and touch the cases (yes, cases - I have a numbered and a lettered inside). Damn post office. Cross your fingers for me.

Well, luckily, both the numbered and the lettered editions are unscathed. PHEW! The only thing that sustained damage was the exterior box that contained the lettered edition. I must say that Paul has been great through this process. He even offered to send me a new box. What a guy! I will posting some pics soon. They are so impressive. I just don't know what to do with them from a display standpoint. The lettered is sooooo big!

On a slightly unrelated note, can someone remind me who did the print above the EOTD portfolio? I had been looking at buying one, and then got side-tracked. I believe there are 2 versions, the other one had blood running down it...

Production Update: The archival art folio boxes for The Covers Collection are done, and will be shipping to me early next week. As soon as they arrive, orders will be shipped. So it's soon now.

Also, there's a 'dinged' print sale. 50% off! Details here: Dinged Print Sale (suntup.press/dinged-print-sale/).

Forgot to say, great displays I've seen with the Portfolio. And yes to a Dolso case for it!

In other news.... I thought you might like to see these. Dave Christensen's remarques are amazing. He has really gone above and beyond by offering several variations.

Here are the ones being done for the upcoming 'Salem's Lot print.

Was perusing the dinged sale last night, went to regular stuff and clicked Waste Lands Large Unframed Remarqued ... and much to my surprise there was one available. I had done the same on day of release right after I got the e-mail but wasn't able to add to cart; I figured it was pre-sold out, and that was that. Didn't look again until last night. Texted w/Paul just to make sure this wasn't a glitch, turns out the glitch was on day of release. If anyone is interested, you might want go back and check on something you thought you missed out on ... there was at least one Waste Lands Large Remarqued still available. Glad I did!

P.S. Still haven't opened my Lettered EOTD Portfolio; need to get pesky kids out of the house.

[The Library Policeman]

Got my numbered EOTD portfolio in yesterday. Absolutely first class. As nice a production (if not more so) as any limited edition I own. So glad I got one. The bonus items are fantastic too!

I think you've found your calling, Paul.

Money has been seriously tight, but I finally ordered a print from Paul last week. The entire experience was impressive. I appreciated the email and Facebook messenger updates. And the packaging! Seriously above and beyond. Not even my local USPS office could mess the print up! I was pleased with the entire experience. And the print was pretty damn nice too! Many thanks, Paul and Suntup! Looking forward to buying more! Now to find some wall space...

I got an email from one of your guys this weekend saying that you tried to send me a card but it got returned to due bad address. Now most companies would have just said screw it we tired to be nice and he didn't update his information so whatever, but you guys took the time to email me, get the right address then pay for postage twice to send it to me.
So with that I say thank you!

Well, that's good to hear. I spent a lot of time figuring out the best type of packing for the prints and then finding the right size boxes, etc. All hail ULINE!

Also, if you missed it, EVERYONE who submitted an unboxing video will get the 18" x 18" signed gallery wrap. So everyone is a winner! So much better that way, isn't it....

For those who did not see the notice, the archival folio boxes arrived yesterday. I am really happy with how they turned out, and I'm not easy to please when it comes to things like this. I will be shipping those orders out starting this week.

It is not easy to make a video. Especially when the help is volunteering!

I was going to use a video loop of Suntup's video with David Palladini signing the portfolios on the TV. In the end I just got Shawshanked!

Also the battery of the phone started dying. You can hear a beeping noise near the end of the video. That's why I rushed through the lettered edition.

I also thought of things to say after it was over.

Overall it was fun though.

Now most companies would have just said screw it we tired to be nice and he didn't update his information so whatever, but you guys took the time to email me, get the right address then pay for postage twice to send it to me.
So with that I say thank you!

You're welcome Josh. Thanks for mentioning it. Sometimes you do nice things for people and don't even get a thank you. So I do appreciate you acknowledging it, and it's my pleasure.


Thanks again for the great packaging! Got my Wastelands print and was in great fear when I saw the condition of the box. Despite the USPS's best efforts, the print itself was unscathed!

Well, that's good to hear. I spent a lot of time figuring out the best type of packing for the prints and then finding the right size boxes, etc. All hail ULINE!

Also, if you missed it, EVERYONE who submitted an unboxing video will get the 18" x 18" signed gallery wrap. So everyone is a winner! So much better that way, isn't it....

For those who did not see the notice, the archival folio boxes arrived yesterday. I am really happy with how they turned out, and I'm not easy to please when it comes to things like this. I will be shipping those orders out starting this week.

Capt Nice strikes again! Just received my replacement TEOTD envelopes for the promotional kit (Something" ABOVE & BEYOND THE NORM") But that's what Paul does. Anyway something I missed the 1st time I saw the envelope was the subliminal dragon lurking there....Just another Great touch that may have gone unnoticed.

*That* above-mentioned video- nay, call it what it is- an Academy worthy consideration for Short Documentary (which I didn't find through DT.org, but, rather via CD's Facebook feed) is MUST SEE TV, and is a true treasure for all of us collectors and message board junkies. Sincerely loved every minute of it (well, maybe not every minute. ;)). Brilliant!

I had a great time tonight at the Stephen King Film Series at The Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood. They played Cujo, Pet Sematary and Graveyard Shift on the big screen. I didn't stay around for Graveyard Shift as it started at midnight, and I was too tired, still had an hour drive to get home.

After each movie, there was a panel discussion with some cast members and the filmmakers. I was sitting directly in front of Dee Wallace, and hearing her comment periodically about various scenes of Cujo as we watched it, was a very unique experience. Also in attendance was Lewis Teague, director of Cujo, Denise Crosby and Brad Greenquist from Pet Sematary.

Pictures are a little blurry, but here's yours truly with Dee Wallace

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0804.JPG

And with Denise Crosby and Brad Greenquist from Pet Sematary.

https://suntup.press/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/IMG_0806.JPG

While we were standing in line, the guy who won the Pet Sematary print was standing right in front of us, and he had someone take his picture with the two stars and his print which I though was cool, so I took this shot.

wow! Paul is living the high life these days, mixing it with film stars in Hollywood! :biggrin::cool:8):evil::clap:

Thanks for the comments. It was so good to meet Dee. I have very clear memories of watching Cujo, and E.T. of course as a teenager and seeing her in person was a treat. The best was hearing her comments during various scenes as we were watching the movie. And of course, you know I'm going to ask her if she'd sign something for a possible future Cujo rebound, just for fun.

Yeah, the colors are amazing, and incredibly vibrant. The canvas wraps were produced on the same printer as The Covers Collection prints. I have not seen better. Wait until you see Needful Things. It's spectacular.

As for the dragon thing, I've always liked dragons. I think it started with the 'life-size' one I had made way back when. There's a picture of it on the DRE about page. That was a great dragon. Someone once bumped their head on its tooth, which was rock hard, so we replaced it with a rubber version. As I was writing this, I remembered I still have the tooth we removed, and I just found it. Haven't looked at this for a long time.
