He is one of the rarest and most reclusive artist out there that worked on a DT project. This sellers price isn't off base at all. I've been secretly holding back a remarque that Dave did for me over a year ago. I've turned down more money for my remarque than the seller you mention is offering it for sale.

Anyone saying that isn't an elaborate Remarque for the money, needs to understand, that is how Dave draws, that type of brush pen drawing has made him famous and sought out. The group lucky enough to grab what Betts is putting out there today, just kicked up your collection another notch.

For anyone interested, Tomas at skcollector.com sent an email that Mark Geyer is having a sale on remarques for Rose Madder or The Green Mile.

Here's the link: http://www.etsy.com/shop/MarkEdwardGeyer?ref=pr_shop_more

Personally, I prefer it when the artist shows off their range a little more by doing unique remarques, rather than everyone gets the same one (Glenn Chadbourne is a great example of being unique), but it's still cool to get an original sketch on a 1st ed or S/L no matter what.

[Randall Flagg]

I copied your post over to the Mark Geyer thread. Thanks for the info.

Ah that worked, thanks for adding those links and thanks for sharing. Those are great!

[bast_imret]

wow, I think that nips my plans in the bud for ever completing my Artist remarqued collection of DT books. I knew McKean was going to be difficult to get, but I never imagined he was that difficult. Nice set of remarques too.

I've just started to get interested in the whole remarque thing, purchasing a few books when they come along but AKC's Gunslinger is one that sends a shiver and as far as I have seen not many about. Fantastic.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I only know of four, maybe five that exist. Michael does not like to do anything with that book because of the value. He once told Audrey, "what if I mess it up, we just can't get another one", I told Audrey to tell him, "Michael, you could spit in the book and we would all think it's art" :biggrin:

[George at C-Springs]

Finally got internet hookup yesterday, so can show off the latest acquisitions!

First, Christine by Gerhard Axmann, original illustrator for the 1983 German version; got this about a month or so ago courtesy of our good friend Frank

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/Christine_by_Gerhard_Axmann_1983_German_Edition_sm all.jpg

Next, Shawshank Redemption by Vincent Chong (I forgot who had this done, probably 6-8 months ago now ... but I saw yours and had to have it!). I had him do it in the same copy of Stephen King Goes to the Movies as he did my Low Man in Yellow Coat. The man does a helluva Rita Hayworth!

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/Shawshank_Redemption_by_Vincent_Chong_small.jpg

And finally, just arrived in the mail an hour ago, a phenomenal work by Erin Wells in the IT S/L (I now officially am looking for #186s, by the way). I literally spent 5 minutes going "Wow, wow, wow".

She did do a wonderful job!! I kinda like the fact that her art is more, how should I say, cerebral? than others. She has many layers to her pieces, which I think is very cool. She makes you think, which is a very good thing. Erin, is definitely "Thought-provoking" and that is very cool!!! She should have a very profitable and prolific future ahead of her. IMHO

I absolutely love what Erin has come up with. I agree that the remarques she has done go beyond just a simple sketch. My gift edition of IT is being sent her way tomorrow, and based on what I've seen so far, Pennywise nightmares sound like an almost certainty.

The word hint is a hint....

[Randall Flagg]

Hint is comprised of 4 letters:


Hint has 1 vowel and 3 consonants.
King has 1 vowel and 3 consonants
Both words have "I" as the second letter, and "N" as the third letter.
Fetch has 1 vowel and 4 consonants. but dogs onlyhear fech! (one vowel, 3 consonants and an exclamation point) Just kidding on that one

I agree completely. The level of detail is really just amazing, you should see it in person ... this is the kind of art that I really love, something that makes you keep looking closer and closer over and over again. Like Tomas at SK Collector said to me, it reminds you of a bit of Dameron's work on the scale and detail. Compare to the McKean works -- I know, I know ... you can't compare artists or styles ... -- there is no comparison! (LoL, IMHO, of course). The time and effort that she put into it is obvious ... and most humbly and greatly appreciated!

Just got back my Mark Geyer remarques. I really do like them. I got 2 remarques on the gift edition of Green Mile and I asked for color remarques. His rendering of color is so subdued, it's almost like a tint on the mouse remarque. Very elegantly done, in keeping with Mark Geyer's style I thought.

Very nice, congratulations!

Now...it's clear that Mark is a talented artist, but I also remember that when the book was announced, the quality of the sample artwork presented by Subterranean Press wasn't impressive at all (and if I'm not wrong, it caused some cancellations prior the book's publication). So what happened? Who's fault was?

I actually like and approve of the term "sketchy-doodle." It is "remarque" that is consistently misused.

I use "sketchy-doodle" to indicate a drawing that's just a little doodle (Whelan KA) versus a whole drawing or sketch.

Anyway, here's the doodle that king added to Dameron's sketch:

My new Erin Wells remarque with a little color added. :rock:

http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/5349/pwisejuggles.jpg

I love this. Erin has a very sensitive touch that shows in her graphite work. See how she works slowly and deliberately, accumulating marks in a way that leads to a hazy effect? I consider this a very painterly approach to drawing, and I dig it.

"Snooping?" :smile: Nope--I enjoy reading these exchanges, I learn quite a bit about books and collecting, and I like to know what collectors and other artists are thinking about these things. To answer your question, Shannon, I try to do a unique remarque in each book. Not only would it get quite dreary drawing the same thing over and over and over again--where's the fun in that?--collectors trust that I will do a decent drawing in their book, and they spend hard-earned (I assume) funds to have an unusual, carefully-done work. I like combining a bit of humor with horror--are any of you also fascinated with that combination?--so the creepy, gore- and muck-spattered clown, grinning happily and juggling small skulls, drawn in a soft almost dreamy style struck me as a good mix. I know it's not a scene from the book, but it seems like when ol' P'wise is on his own time, just kickin' it at home down in the Barrens, he might enjoy singing a tune and juggling some Georgie-bones.

Love the IT remarque!! Since Erin's been doing mostly black and white sketches, did you ask her for a little color, or was she just in the mood to spice it up a bit?

Yes, I requested a little color added.

It's quite cool, isn't it?.

[Merlin1958]

Love the IT remarque, he seems so happy jugglin' those bones! lol

Merl, I'm happy you have a Jill Bauman remarque. I personally dislike the fact that she uses and reuses the same three images over and over and over and over again. But that's just me. :)

ESW, I see you snooping around in here, lol, may I ask how you come up with images to remarque? Do you just sit and think and go, "I wanna try THIS idea!"?


Yeah, I know what ya mean, Shannon. I've spoken with her and the recurring image has to do with her approach to the art. She is not an illustrator perse'. According to Jill she is more of a "Conceptual Artist" which, if I understand correctly means that she thoroughly immerses herself in the source material and arrives at certain "concepts" for her work. IDK if I explained that all succinctly but hopefully you get the gist of it. I have learned quite a bit about "Art" through my dealing's and they are fascinating folk!!!!

BTW, this is my second Bauman Remarque. She also did a remarque (The Tiger) in my signed 1/1 of TDZ!!!

[Randall Flagg]

It is a fantastic piece. So nice that I wish it were mine.

[Merlin1958]

Yeah, I really like that "IT" remarque by Erin. I totally agree with her analysis of the drawing creepy and humorous!!!

:clap: Between this one and the work Mark Geyer did on your copy of The Green Mile, you've done a nice job of getting some very cool color remarques lately!

Thanks for the kind words, Bdwyer19. It's only possible because Mark Geyer and Erin Wells are such wonderful people to deal with. Since my experience in working with Don Maitz with his extra large full color remarques, it seems my preference now (if possible) is to get all my remarques in color.

[Patrick]

I love that ESW original artwork in your book! Great job, Erin, and thanks for sharing your perspective as well. :thumbsup:

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice! :)

[ESW]

I love that ESW original artwork in your book! Great job, Erin, and thanks for sharing your perspective as well. :thumbsup:

Sure--I'm just glad some readers and collectors enjoy my work; making art for books is something I've wanted to do since I was a little tyke...life sure takes some winding routes, doesn't it? but finally I get to do it! :rock::rock:

[ELazansky]

So I received a copy of author/illustrator Keith Minnion's Island Funeral from my CD Grab Bag. I really enjoyed it, so I went looking for some more of his work. He self-published a collection called It's For You, so I went ahead and ordered a copy from him for a whopping $12 (S/L 300 copies). He included a small remarque in my copy:

http://i1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa411/ELazansky/Eye.jpg

And the stories are really good as well.

[ESW]

I'm now convinced that Erin Wells must illustrate every SK cover/interiors until he stops publishing.

Ha! Ricky, wouldn't that be nice (at least for me...)? It would be an honor to do more work for Stephen King's books, but that might be a one-time gig. Who knows? I appreciate your kind words, though. Cheers... E.

[ELazansky]

I got my Rose Madder remarque back today from Mark Geyer. Pretty similar to all of the other ones that I've seen, but it is still very nice work:

I know what ya mean!! Mark is a VERY nice guy and a pleasure to deal with, but like a lot of other artists, surprisingly "unimaginative" (?) when it comes to these things. Then again, I suppose the "Drawings" tend to be like their signatures in a way? Seems to make sense anyway.

Nice Remarque, Eric!!!!!

30 Anni. Hamburg Comic festival last month.

I meet again Levin Kurio, he is the founder and owner
and the writer and illustrator for several Weissblech - Horror Comics.
He remembered me from our last meetings, last time he offered me for free this ´rehearsal´ Zombie paniting.

Love it Bill. I particularly like the choice of color, rather than just black or the usual mixed colors .. has a nice impact.

[Shannon]

Hey Stockerlone, great artwork! How long did it take the artist to do? You'd think there would be some kind of line there to get illustrations/autographs and that if he drew artwork like this everytime, it would be a VERY long time in line.

[Stockerlone]

Only 15 minutes for this ´simple´sketch, he was crazy fast AND i was the lucky FIRST in the LINE.
He also offered felt-tip pen and color-ink remarqued drawings.
When he drawed, we talked about ´everything is possible´. I told him, when i meet him next time
i hope he is ready to draw a really bloody CUJO.:onfire:

ESW, I see you snooping around in here, lol, may I ask how you come up with images to remarque? Do you just sit and think and go, "I wanna try THIS idea!"?

"Snooping?" :smile: Nope--I enjoy reading these exchanges, I learn quite a bit about books and collecting, and I like to know what collectors and other artists are thinking about these things. To answer your question, Shannon, I try to do a unique remarque in each book. Not only would it get quite dreary drawing the same thing over and over and over again--where's the fun in that?--collectors trust that I will do a decent drawing in their book, and they spend hard-earned (I assume) funds to have an unusual, carefully-done work. I like combining a bit of humor with horror--are any of you also fascinated with that combination?--so the creepy, gore- and muck-spattered clown, grinning happily and juggling small skulls, drawn in a soft almost dreamy style struck me as a good mix. I know it's not a scene from the book, but it seems like when ol' P'wise is on his own time, just kickin' it at home down in the Barrens, he might enjoy singing a tune and juggling some Georgie-bones.

Lol, good thinking, very cool. I cant wait to get my s/l "IT" over to you for a remarque.

[ELazansky]

Maybe it is just me, but I would not get any remarques in a S/L edition. Some folks think they add value, but I want my S/L copies as issued. I have a few remarques in some first edition books, but that's about it.

What about Gift Editions?. I've always found them to be suitable for a remarque as the paper is usually of a better quality.

[ELazansky]

Gift Editions I wouldn't mind so much. You could have thousands of copies of them floating around. But no S/L's

I have no problem with remarques in G/Es...but S/Ls should remain pure.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

I would not want a remarque in my S/Ls either. Incidently CD are offering remarques in the Lettered editions of FDNS and IT. I will not be getting any in mine.

[Randall Flagg]

Just scored a S/L It! from David at Betts and was considering sending it off to the talented Miss Wells for a remarque. Anyone here done this in the past?
I merged this question into the Remarkable Remarques...thread.

[Randall Flagg]

IF a lettered or S/L version was planned by the publisher from the get go to have an artist(s) do an original piece(s) in the book I would be interested, but IMO adulterating a Lettered King book with a Remarque would not be desirable.

Adulterate: To debase or make impure.

[Fsmdr]

The only S/L I have in posession that's remarqued is my Desperation S/L with a large and detailed Maitz pencil remarque (shown below). I like it very much and have no intention of selling it anyway. All the rest of my 24 remarqued books are in 1st edition or Gift Editions.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I have several first edition, gift edition, and yes, 11 S/L & 1 Lettered remarqued. The remarqued S/L's and lettered Riding The Bullet are very special to me with a story behind each one. So for the new member here asking about IT S/L and possibly getting it remarqued, you do what your collecting heart tells you. As for the mention of value....does it add, take away? I wouldn't take a million dollars for my S/L Blackhouse remarqued by Rick Berry and the stories and evening we shared when he dedicated the drawing to my wife and I. That goes the same with my Hale, Whelan, Chadbourne, Wells, etc. Just to name a few.

To each there own. Who knows, someday I might immerse my "The Stand" S/L in urine and call it art-I suppose now it would be called copycat. Once you own the book you can do whatever you please-but....if you EVER want to sell it, only the market will dictate. Who knows, a "The Stand" S/L without a box sold for a shockingly high price (although the auction never seems to have 'consumated' the act).
My guess is that if a person could produce a legitimate Berni Wrightson signed and dated "remarqued" copy from 1990-1991, that it would fetch a tidy sum. What if there were only 1 (of 26) copies of the Firestarter Lettered Edition with Wightson art?
<----------------------Rushed off to have any/all Lettered Editions remarqued.....
The market evolves.
The only caveat I would consider is that once a book is drawn in, it forever is different-for better or for worse.

[George at C-Springs]

I think it's a personal choice, and yes, the market will dictate good decision or bad if it's ever sold. For me a remarqued S/L would be a great score, and a remarqued Lettered phenomenal. Perhaps you're point of view is a matter of whether you're a remarque collector or an S/L collector? Or, god forbid, a completist purist. I love my IT S/L with the 4-page panorama remarque, and chortle at the thought that it makes the book impure! I am (still) eagerly awaiting my Lettered The Passage that Jill Baumann will be remarquing!

Finally got internet hookup yesterday, so can show off the latest acquisitions!

First, Christine by Gerhard Axmann, original illustrator for the 1983 German version; got this about a month or so ago courtesy of our good friend Frank

Next, Shawshank Redemption by Vincent Chong (I forgot who had this done, probably 6-8 months ago now ... but I saw yours and had to have it!). I had him do it in the same copy of Stephen King Goes to the Movies as he did my Low Man in Yellow Coat. The man does a helluva Rita Hayworth!

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/500/medium/Shawshank_Redemption_by_Vincent_Chong_small.jpg

And finally, just arrived in the mail an hour ago, a phenomenal work by Erin Wells in the IT S/L (I now officially am looking for #186s, by the way). I literally spent 5 minutes going "Wow, wow, wow".

FWIW Now you have me really confused. Two different sellers, two prices... I know you are International, but some consolidation seems in order for USA buyers. And BTW, I'm just trying to help out, not break your chops or anything. Best of luck, Those are some really nice remarques!!!!

Hi Merlin, Thanks for pointing this out, On my origianl post I accidently posted another sellers book that I was looking at while I was writhing my own listing. Also, on Ebay Me and my wife (Debbie) share the one account so that is why you are seen it posted in her name. Hope this clears up the issue? So I am selling my 2 copies (Vol 1&2) remarqued by Glen that I purchased from CD.

Here are some images from a project I have been working on with Mark Geyer. I was inspired to approach Mark about this small project after seeing some beautiful colored pencil drawings that he did for Julianna (fsmdr). After some discussion about medium he decided to do these in colored pencil over ink, using earth tones and muted greens for the color. The idea was to use a "gift set" from Subterranean Press and to get a drawing in each book that reflected something that happened in that particular book. I like the way it turned out. My pictures aren't the best....a tripod would have helped clear up some of the lacking detail that my handheld photo technique blurred a bit. But still, you get the idea. I think he did a great job. Also, I was getting jealous seeing all the cool stuff posted in this thread and thought I needed to get on the ball.

Part 1: The Two Dead Girls - Posse with rifles down by the river under trestle bridge. (My second favorite).

Part 2: The Mouse on the Mile -

Part 3: Coffey's Hands - Screen door off its hinges.

Part 4: The Bad Death of Eduard Delacroix - Lightning behind Paul's desk.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/geyergm4.jpg

Part 5: Night Journey - Truck on night journey.

http://i204.photobucket.com/albums/bb54/carlosdetweiller/geyergm5.jpg

Part 6: Coffey on the Mile - Paul Edgecomb walking the prison grounds, pondering Coffey's fate, ominous clouds. (My favorite).

[jhanic]

Congratulations, Bob. I like them all!

[Patrick]

Wow! I absolutely love them, Bob. Kudos to you and Mark Geyer!

[Randall Flagg]

Brilliant inspiration and execution.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

<<<Part 2: The Mouse on the Mile - >>>

This is also my second favourite. Maybe because of the film, which I think was a masterpiece interpretation of King's work. The more I look at these images, the more I recollect how well Darabont sold us the story of the Green Mile through King's eyes.

I agree with Bob about my favourite. Part 6: Coffey on the Mile - "Paul Edgecomb walking the prison grounds, pondering Coffey's fate, ominous clouds."

This reminds me of a time when I walked alone, under the clouds, deciding on the fate of several families' futures, during difficult times. I had to decide which persons had a chance of "survival" and which ones were left to "the dogs". That will live with me forever.

Nice work Mark.

[Merlin1958]

Very Nice, Bob!!!


:thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Ben Staad]

Very nice illustrations, Bob. Part one is easily my favorite but they are all superb. I love the minimal feel to these pieces even though they convey big messages.

[Fsmdr]

Beautiful, Bob!. I love Mark's remarques. So these are done in a total of 6 different sets?.

[herbertwest]

Wonderful bob!

[carlosdetweiller]

Beautiful, Bob!. I love Mark's remarques. So these are done in a total of 6 different sets?.

One set of six books. One drawing in each book. I think it is called the gift set, unsigned by King.

Me too. Before reading Franks post I thought it was Mckean.

[Stockerlone]

Yes, Reinhard Kleist´s and McKean´s drawing style is very similar and

Great artwork, Frank! Congrats!

[Thelangoleer]

Would anyone consider remarques to devalue a book?

[Bad Penny]

Not me, for sure - then again, I'm biased (and likely bipopar to boot) - I adore remarques and believe they enhance the value of a book (but that's just me) :smile:

[carlosdetweiller]

My opinion - If done by an artist who actually illustrated the book then I think additional artwork enhances the value. But if done by an artist not otherwise involved in illustrating the book then that is a big no-no, especially if the book is an S/L.

[Mr. Rabbit Trick]

It would devalue a S/L for me.

[Room 217 Caretaker]

My opinion - If done by an artist who actually illustrated the book then I think additional artwork enhances the value. But if done by an artist not otherwise involved in illustrating the book then that is a big no-no, especially if the book is an S/L.

Well said.....I like your opinion.

Mulleins

[carlosdetweiller]

I remember back when this whole "remarque" (gosh, I hate that term) craze got started with respect to King books. Michael Whelan offered to do drawings in the artist edition of DT7 for about $400. He was going to do no more than 15 or so (I forget the exact number). The offer sold out immediately and so they could do more Audrey called me and a few other collectors and asked if we would send in books we already had for our drawings rather than use up the limited copies they had on hand. I agreed and she said I could send either an artist edition or an S/L. I thought about it for a while and decided not to send an S/L. It struck me then (and now) that these things are better done in trade or artist editions rather than an S/L.

[Thelangoleer]

That was my next thought - I have a S/L SODV2 remarqued by chadbourne - I think it would enhance the value as well but I'm not sure if I should have it done to my other S/L now. I just got a Blockade Billy S/L that I think would look neat remarqued but I'm not really sure if I should.

[Randall Flagg]

I think a great remarque, in a trade significantly increases value. Personally, a remarque in a S/L would devalue the book. I just can't imagine wanting a beautiful piece by Berni Wrightson in my S/L "The Stand". I suppose if I owned two copies, having one with original art would be unique, but I'd prefer an original frame-able piece.

[carlosdetweiller]

That was my next thought - I have a S/L SODV2 remarqued by chadbourne - I think it would enhance the value as well but I'm not sure if I should have it done to my other S/L now. I just got a Blockade Billy S/L that I think would look neat remarqued but I'm not really sure if I should.

Are you thinking of getting Chadbourne to draw in your Blockade Billy S/L?

[Patrick]

Our opinions overlap like Venn diagrams.


...If done by an artist who actually illustrated the book then I think additional artwork enhances the value. But if done by an artist not otherwise involved in illustrating the book then ......then it is unlikely to add any value for me, and runs the risk of devaluing the book.


I think a great remarque, in a trade significantly increases value...I agree.

As also mentioned upthread, I think original art generally adds more value when it is in an Artist/Gift Edition than it does in an S/L.

[AKC]

I think it depends on the Book.

I have Matching LETTERED SODs with full page Chadbourne remarques. I think in these volumes, which showcase Chadbourne's artwork just as much as King's stories, the full color, unique remarques add to the value of these.

Totally agree with RF's comments below. It depends on the S/L (IMHO).....

[Thelangoleer]

No of course not - I am thinking of a mcvey or orbic in my s/l

That is beyond cool. This might sound dumb but who is the artist? Whelan or someone else?

[Ari_Racing]

It's Whelan.

I didn't notice that. The remarque is awesome! I'm sure there may be some folks here wondering if it is for sale.

I seem to have a vague recollection of seeing that book drawing way back in the .net days - maybe around the time that Wizardsrainbow obtained his equally awesome Whelan book art.

Am I having a false recovered memory?

[TwistedNadine]

Really like that.
