Here's the incredible remarque I received from Mark Stutzman for Christmas. Words don't do justice to it:

That is awesome. Mark is an outstanding artist, he truly is.

Congrats

Ralph

[turtlex]

Just beautiful, Ari.

[Sam]

Damn dude. It looks like it was always there.

[Patrick]

I love it, Ari!

[wizardsrainbow]

Jealous! Very nice Ari!

[Randall Flagg]

I suppose this counts as a remarque.

[turtlex]

Um, yah... a gorgeous one.

[Fsmdr]

It sure does Jerome. A very nice one too!.

[Daghain]

Wow, that's cool. Me likey!

[Patrick]

I like it too!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I posted both these pictures in my Collection Thread along with a story but thought I would post them here as well for those that don't stray...

Darn! Now I want some of my own! Those are all amazing!!

[oy-the-brave]

Ralph, very nice Whelan drawing.

Did he do anything unusual for the moon? in the background, in my drawing there is a Luminescence to the moon/sun? that I did not even notice at first, very subtle.

[Fsmdr]

Awesome, Ralph!. That's the most detailed remarque that I have seen in Knowing Darkness. I've been looking forward to seeing your copy since you told me about it. Very nice!.

Ralph, very nice Whelan drawing.

Thanks everyone.

The moon/sun is actually the background of the paper. It's untouched but really stands out. But, his eye's glow luminescence. My camera takes away from the glow but it's there.

Whelan is absolutely Incredible.

[Daghain]

Nice remarques! Color me jealous. :D

[Airtraffic]

Whelan Remarques are the best. I'm so glad that everyone has a chance to own one. I can't believe that I've owned mine for almost 5 years now.

[oy-the-brave]

I had asked Alan M Clark about doing remarques in the upcomming books he has done art for and I see Lonely Roads selling a few done in Riding the Bullet, is anyone here interested in me seeing if he will do remarques in the now shipping Dark Tower Concordance? If so what price would be reasonable (Alan asked me and I figured checking with others here would be the best idea).

I'm interested in a copy as long as I don't have to send payment to Cemetery Dance or work with them in any way.

I think the price would depend on the size and complexity of the drawing Alan is proposing to do in the books. Just to state the obvious a full page drawing would be worth more than a thumbnail size sketch.

Are you thinking of something like Don Maitz and Ned Dameron have done recently? Or more like the smaller sketches of about one to two inches?

When I talked to him I was thinking of full pages like Don and Ned have done and I sent him a link to those threads I know he has been having money issues (his wife was laid off) and suggested this as a way to make some extra money unfortunately when I suggested it neither book was available but now with the concordance shipping I figured I would check interest before I emailed him again.

[Tito_Villa]

In the last 2 weeks i have now got a couple of remarques by Glenn Chadbourne and here they are ...

In my Colorado Kid S/L

Very nice. I really like the corpse coming out of the ground.

[biomieg]

Fantastic! Awesome stuff, Mr. T!

[jhanic]

Nice, Tim! I really like the one of the zombie rising from the grave. I usually am not a big fan of Chadbourne's but I do like that one.

[wizardsrainbow]

As a collector of remarques, those are extremely fine! Nice job.

Very, very nice indeed....:thumbsup:

that would be cool and id pay $50 to 100 for one over the book price

[Randall Flagg]

Stunning. Congratulations.

[Ben Eads]

The remarques are just AMAZING!

I truly hope to own one some day. :cowboy:

[Fsmdr]

Very nice. I like them all.

[CurtSeattle]

I'm waiting on a Lettered Concordance. I'd LOVE to have him add one to it!

I'd could ship it when I get it or have it sent to him by them or ???

If he doesn't want to wait for the Lettered Edition to come out, I would still like my numbered version done and could send that. :)

You tell me! I'd throw whatever everyone agrees is the amount to compensate him for his time, effort and creativity for sure!!

Here is one of my new favorite remarqued sets... The Colorado Kid with a special "lettered" set by Chadbourne, Potter and Miller in their corresponding books!

I wish I had a JK Potter remarque

Sweet!

[demorgan]

How much does each artist charge for their remarques????

[CurtSeattle]

I like yours a bit more than my own I must admit David. (But then I already have collection envy when it comes to you!) hahaha!

[wizardsrainbow]

How much does each artist charge for their remarques????

It varies obviously:

The Ned Dameron ones that tippy4 is auctioning start at $500.

The Don Maitz ones that Juliana auctioned sold at $395 each.

Michael Whelan will charge $300+ for a small one, $1000+ for an elaborate one

The Colorado Kid ones went for I think $200 for the set of 3. Individual ones went for $80-$100 each by Chadbourne, Potter and Miller

That's what I can recall off the top of my head.

I believe the Colorado Kid set of 3 remarques sold for $300, that's what I paid for them anyway.

The Maitz, Dameron and some of the Whelan remarques are also viewable at the Collectors:

http://www.stephenkingcollector.com/galleries/remarques.html

I do have 3 more Maitz remarques available also if you are looking for one.

[Resident Chris]

I´ve paid only 100$ for my matching set of the 3 remarqued of the Green Mile.

[CurtSeattle]

I'd like to see the Green Mile remarques. Is it the mouse one and more? I will give you $101 for them...hehehe! :P

[Patrick]

Tom, I really like those Chadbourne remarques you posted on the last page. The zombie graveyard piece is especially nice.

Enjoying seeing all the remarqued editions of THE COLORADO KID as well.

[demorgan]

It cost that much if you sent a book to the artist and asked for them to sketch one in it?

[Patrick]

It cost that much if you sent a book to the artist and asked for them to sketch one in it?
Mark, the cost varies by artist, and also by how elaborate of a drawing you want.

[demorgan]

I figured that. I was just wondering if someone could give me an idea of how much they cost...big, small. etc..instead of emailing each artist and asking them.

[Sam]

Between $25 for a small remarque from some artists to $1000+ for a large remarque from some artists. That's how much they cost.

You really should just email each artist instead as rates and moods change. Always be polite because even if you're paying them to do this, they are still doing you a favor by doing this. It takes time away from their work (hence the reason you are paying them) and if you were to be rude they may decide to not do it, or worse yet, do something that you would not want in the book. (I saw something like that actually happen at a comic convention because a fan was very rude to people standing in line and the artist didn't appreciate it.)

Haha....what did the guy put in the comic???

But, yeah, as long as you approach it in a professional way, and look at it like it's a business transaction with you purchasing a product requiring time and talent, then it should be fine...I think 99.9 percent of artists would be happy to at least approach the idea.

The flip side is I imagine nothing would annoy an artist more than acting like she or he's a trained chimp doodling on a napkin for cheap money - it's their JOB, so act as such...

[Sam]

The artist drew a picture of a penis because, as he put it, the guy was "...being a dick and when you act like a dick, you get fucked." I thought it was funny as hell.

I don't remember the artist's name because he wasn't one of my artists. I DO remember the drawing was in a graphic novel though.

One day, I'm going to get a book signed and inscribed "To the ebay auction winner" just for the hell of it.

The mood of the artist at the time is an important factor. I have been with Michael Whelan multiple times getting remarques for people (and myself). Sometimes he is in a sketchy mood and other times not. You get what you get.

This one I got for free out of the kindness of Ned's heart for which I am forever greatful. I've tried to repay him by buying several other remarques from him.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Roland_Aunt_Talitha1.jpg

This one by Ned was worth every penny I paid, and then some IMO.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Plaster_Man.jpg

And these next two by Michael Whelan are two of my favorites by him that are in my collection.

[Sam]

David, the next time you're going up to Michael's, let me know. I'd love to get a remarque from him, but not on a DT book. I have a copy of On a Pale Horse that would LOVE to have his work inside it.

[CurtSeattle]

Piers Anthony book, Sam? I have every one of his books. Grew up reading him so got them all. Even Pornocopia S/L LOL!

(Also have 2 sets of John Norman Gor 1st/1st's in paperback which I liked growing up!).

Did Whelan do the artwork for Piers Anthony books? Didn't realize that.

David, you'd probably need a truck for all the people wanting remarques! :doh:

[Sam]

I know our own Ari Racing purchased some bookmarks with artwork by Michael and one of them was the cover for On a Pale Horse. I don't know if he did the rest of the Incarnations series but think that is somewhat likely, at least through Being a Green Mother. I've tried to contact Michael himself but both emails went unanswered.

I have envy for the Pornucopia S/L. I have no signed Piers Anthony's.:(

[Daghain]

David, you have some lovely artwork on your hands there. :)

[carlosdetweiller]

A couple of weeks ago I sent my US and UK hardcover copies of THE GREEN MILE to Mark Geyer. I got them back the other day and like the drawings that Mark did in them quite a bit. He has a different style that really sets him apart. The one thing about his drawings, though, is that they almost look like they are printed in the book. If someone weren't told that it was an original drawing they would think it was just a printed illustration.

The drawing in the US (Scribner)edition:

Bob-

Those are really nice indeed. Congrats!

[Matt]

Wow! Those are incredible, I have always loved Mark's drawings. :wub:

We did very well on some prints of an electric chair the first year of the fundraiser I think, it is so cool how he interprets it differently like that. His contrast of black and white almost makes some kind of real light on it. Great stuff.

[jhanic]

:thumbsup:

John

[The Library Policeman]

Those are excellent Bob.

[Fsmdr]

They are lovely, Bob!.

Are they executed all in ink?.

[carlosdetweiller]

I think so.

[Fsmdr]

I think so.

Thanks for the reply. No wonder they look so much like a print!. Beautiful.

[CurtSeattle]

Two things!

1. Those remarques are SWEET!!!

2. (which I noticed when typing SWEET in the subject line above)...If you have your left hand on the wrong keys by one character to the right and type SWEET.....it comes out as....

DERRY!

WHOA!!

[Daghain]

Wow, those are really nice, Bob!

[Patrick]

I like Geyer's work a lot. Congrats, Bob!

David, viewing your remarques is always a treat.

[herbertwest]

From the Overlook's bookstore newsletter :


ROSE MADDER Signed and Remarqued !
ROSE MADDER. By Stephen King.

Signed and Remarqued by artist Mark Geyer.

Remarque illustration is a rose, with Mr. Geyer's signature underneath. Very Nice!

Only pink-red Roses are embossed on the front board. Stephen King's name is much smaller than the title logo, something that hasn't happened since his first books were published. Frontispiece illustration by artist Mark Geyr.

== $74.95 + shipping

Order SIGNED / Remarqued Rose Madder at Overlook HERE!


http://overlookconnection.com/catalog/rose-madder-signed-remarqued-p-2649.html

[Patrick]

Thanks for posting that, HW.

I don't own any copy of ROSE MADDER whatsoever, so this interests me. I would buy at $50, but the $75 price may be over my threshold of pain.

It says "First Edition" but does Overlook also mean it's a First Printing?

Also has anyone seen the size of the rose doodles?

[Randall Flagg]

Without a clear picture of the original art by Geyer, this is rather un-"remarquable". :beat:

[jhanic]

Just a reminder--when Overlook sold the Green Mile first/first hardcovers with the Geyer remarque of Mr. Jingles, all the books that I've heard of had a remainder mark on the pages. (Mine is on the top of the book.) I'd verify that if you're considering getting this Rose Madder volume.

John

[wizardsrainbow]

Hey! I just learned that a customer of mine is buying a Michael Whelan remarque that was one of the original DT VII ones, but not one of the ones that Tomas has up on his site. I will get an image shortly (as will Tomas), but this one is Roland standing in front of a door with a saguaro cactus in the background. My customer is buying it fropm the original owner who lives in AZ.

Yumping Yimminie!!

What do you mean by a remainder mark?
If only they had an exemple of remarque on their page...

@wizard: what is AZ? Arizona?

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

What do you mean by a remainder mark?


It is usually a thick line made by a marker pen on the page edges. The shop gets money back from the publisher for any unsold copies and the remainder mark is put on to show that a refund was issued for that copy.

Sometimes the remainder mark is spray paint on the page edges.

[jhanic]

The remainder mark on The Green Mile edition that I got was a thick black line on the top of the pages.

Sorry folks, I am training this week to be a census taker. So I get done all day with that, try to answer e-mails, process orders etc. for Betts and I've had little time to get on here to post.

[Ari_Racing]

Talking about remarques, of the ones made for Little Sisters of Eluria, very few ended showing up the surface.

Karen, do you know more or less if it's about to be sold out or there's still plenty of copies?

[CurtSeattle]

Got my remarqued Rose Madder today.

It is a 1st/1st with no "remainder" mark.

Nice little rose (similar in size to the mouse remarque on The Green Mile) on the title page with his signature.

I'm happy with my purchase. :)

[Ari_Racing]

Pictures! :)

Congratulations!

would you mind sharing a picture? :-)

I will take a pic or two tonight.

It is just a tiny rose, but well done. What I expected based on the little mouse. My copy of Rose Madder wasn't fine/fine, so it killed 2 birds that way!

I thought this was pretty cool (or hot!). It's a Green Mile remarque by Mark Geyer. Scribner's logo (the flame) is from the opposite side of the page. Mark positioned the electric chair so the flame shows where a persons head would be.

Pictures of remarques anybody? :-)

I am sure that MrRabbit would pay more than a cent for it ^^

PS : it's not mine, and isnt for sale either

[Daghain]

:lol: That's awesome.

[Randall Flagg]

King self portrait-I don't own this.

http://img838.imageshack.us/img838/1540/kingselfportait.jpg

[Brice]

Is that one yours, Jerome?

[Randall Flagg]

Quick edit after you asked. Sorry. No I do not.

[Brice]

I like it. The drawing isn't great and maybe not even good, but it has charm.

[Ari_Racing]

King did it for someone that always sells self-portraits of famous people. I remember reading it somewhere here that it was on a party and they guy saw King and asked him to draw himself.

[carlosdetweiller]

My only King artwork and it isn't in a book. I bought it from Barry Levin who probably got it from Dennis Etchison.

[Sam]

The framing looks great with it. Honestly, I understand why it's in your collection, but I couldn't see me ever wanting something like that.

[herbertwest]

I ve seen the self portrait before, but not sure where...

[Patrick]

I love funny little drawings by famous non-artists, like that housekeeping drone of King's.

The self-portrait is pretty cool, too.

[carlosdetweiller]

I understand your feelings. It is certainly not a "pride and joy." More like a novelty item, I guess.

[Daghain]

Those are all really cool. I like the self portrait. I would have had to draw a stick figure. :lol:

VINCENT CHONG's "remarques"

[herbertwest]

that's a very nice package you got!

[Ricky]

Very cool! Is that one from Rainy Season? So awesome. :thumbsup:

[Fsmdr]

I am not a big fan of Glenn either, but your remarques are the best that I have ever seen from Chadbourne!. Very nice!. I especially like the last one.

[tippy4]

Could not agree more.

SOD is probably one of the few books I would not want a remarque in. There is just SOOOOO much art in it already, I would think it would get lost in the shuffle.

[Pasiuk57]

Totally agree-GREAT remarques!!

[Tito_Villa]

Thanks everyone im very pleased with them :)

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations! They look awesome! :)

This is exactly my reaction:

I just wanted to say I have learned my lesson I will NEVER buy a remarqued book from anyone other than the artist direct (no CD sold remarques). When I had the issue with the McVey remarque from CD I took the 75.00 credit Mindy gave me to buy the Glenn Chadbourne remarqued SOD I and II. Received the remarqued SOD I a week ago and it was a 1/4 page drawing, nice but nothing like every other remarque I have seen from Glenn Chadbourne (including the fantastic remarques from Glenn on the previous page), then today I got the copy of Blockade Billy remarqued by Glenn Chadbourne and another small drawing (shoe with spikes). Again I am not complaining about the artists drawings but I am no longer going to get screwed by the middleman.

I'd like to respectfully disagree on the point of buying through a secondary seller. True, it is hard to judge from buying a remarque 'blind' without seeing the work first, in the case like CD. Sometimes, things fall far from your expectations. Even buying direct from the artist, I usually ask on the approximate size, if it is in color, etc. My opinion is if you can see ahead of time the remarque itself, you already know what you will get. Just my 2 cents.

[Sam]

This wouldn't be because you were the secondary seller would it Juliana?:P

Seriously though, what you AND tippy have provided is something that has been rare, and that something being an advance look at the remarque prior to the opening of the original sale. Then again, you two were and are dealing with much higher price points than the others I have seen in the past few years too. Believe me, the difference is MUCH appreciated.

Just my 2 cents.

Like Sam says what you and Tippy did was different, we saw the remarque before we bought, the ones from CD what I got was different than all the other remarques I have seen from Glenn and I suspect it was because the artist received much less of the money from me than CD did. Thats why I will contact the artist directly rather than going through CD.

BTW while I have just a few remarques in books I have probably 75 drawings commissioned from artists through conventions and ebay and other means of contact (including 2 from Glenn). I have been disappointed maybe a couple of times I really am not as picky as my complaints have sounded, I just seem to have bad luck with CD I guess.

[Fsmdr]

Yeah, I guess you guys are right. A full page color remarques are no comparison. :thumbsup:

[Fsmdr]

Not King related, but talk about a valuable remarque!.

I much prefer the remarques I have seen by Dameron and Maitz.

[herbertwest]

Need to join to see the pic. Can one post it (or the link) please? :-)

[Fsmdr]

Here is the photo of the Rackham remarque. It sold for close to $11K. Rackham (1867-1939) is very much sough after as a children's book illustrator. His reprinted books are very collectible and a original drawing by him are quite rare.

First edition, limited to 520 copies and signed by Arthur Rackham on the limitation page. Quarto. 318 pages. Sixteen color plates mounted on cream paper with captioned tissue guards. This copy has a charming original signed drawing by Rackham on the recto of half-title page. Rackham has executed an ink and watercolor caricature of himself in traditional Irish dress, with a clay pipe and shillelagh, conversing with an enrapt crow.

Publisher's quarter vellum with white paper boards. Gilt titles and decoration. Wrapped in double glassine dust jacket. Hinges slightly cracked. Toning to endpapers. Housed in a custom quarter green morocco drop front clamshell box. A near fine copy. From the Estate of John McLaughlin.

Yesterday a very nice comic convention took place in Rosario, one of the largest cities in Argentina (located in another province, 300 km from Buenos Aires). A friend of mine, who is a comic addict, ask me if I'd join him. I said "Sure", and we went yesterday. The big surprise was that, on friday, I googled the list of guests and there were several artists involved that don't usually come to a comic con in Argentina. The list was:

Jim Lee, Brian Azzarello, Will Dennis, Humberto Ramos, Rafael Grampá, Fabio Moon, Gabriel Bá, Rafael Albuquerque, Domingo Mandrafina, Horacio Altuna, Carlos Trillo, Ariel Olivetti, Eduardo Risso and several others.

Then I realized that Rafael Albuquerque was the illustrator of American Vampire! And, lucky me, I received my order of HC ed of American Vampire from Amazon last...friday! LOL.

Well, These are the two remarques I got for me, and the other two my friend got (for other two friends):
