[Chooch]

Very cool Matt..... Could someone please ask Michael Whelan if I may contact him? I've got a few question for him myself

[wizardsrainbow]

Excellent Matt!

Chooch. Go to www.michaelwhelan.com and you can pose questions from there I think, or call the number and ask Audrey.

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations, Matt! :)

[tippy4]

I got the nicest little card from Michael Whelan with something he donated...this is my new pride and joy. :wub:


Soooooo....what was the "something" he donated? :orely:

[Matt]

I do believe we are going to answer that question this very day. :ninja:

[CRinVA]

taps foot patiently waiting............

[Matt]

Well, I can tell you we have been working the list for months and the actual post for the thread about the last two weeks. Images, descriptions and what not.

It's very close now.

[Gris]

Road trip sound great! I sent you a PM.


My new P&J is a 1st/1st Cycle of the Werewolf PB signed by Berni!

http://allgris.dns4me.com:8085/books/Images/cycleofthewerewolf_ag.jpg

[mae]

Man I sooooo want to add Cycle of the Werewolf to my collection. I have just the regular Signet trade paperback (unsigned, of course). This is the last book in hardcover missing from my collection. It makes me so sad but they're all so expensive... Ack!

[Randall Flagg]

Received this today. Hard to see, but the envelope has an image of the traycase on it, and more importantly, something in it. I haven't opened the envelope-and may never.
Any Idea what is in it?

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/510/medium/P1010325.JPG

[gsvec]

Looks like that may be one of the "special" cases Tomas talked about in the traycase thread . . . I think you should open it!

[Patrick]

If you received what I got, in the envelope is a ballpoint pen from thestephenkingcollector.com. :)

Anyone ever watch "My Name is Earl"?

We publish Jaime Pressly's book and she did a signing for us. Got to meet her. She is smokin' hot and funnier than hell.

Should have brought the issue of Playboy she posed for and had her sign that too!

And yes, she is smokin'!

[batsker]

Just got this today:rock:. This brings my SK books with #146 to a measly 4, with another hopefully in the works. Awesome book!

[turtlex]

Very nice, folks! Very nice !

[wizardsrainbow]

Ok, I have a couple new books and a "found" cool item I completely forgot I had.

First up is a signed ARC of Owen King's We're all in this Together.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Owen_King_1.jpg

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/519/medium/Owen_King1.jpg

[wizardsrainbow]

Second item is a 1st trade edition of Wolves of the Calla signed by Bernie Wrightson, which I got for $25.

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

[wizardsrainbow]

This is an "old" or newly rediscovered Pride and Joy. I'd be interested to hear what people think this might be worth, if anything.

It is the original Donald Grant Publishing flyer announcing the original 1982 Gunslinger with order form. It is in perfect condition and flat rolled into a tube. So it's at least 27 years old. I completely forgot I had this item. Here are pictures of the front and back and closeups of the Gunslinger description as well as the order form...$20 for the trade and $60 for the deluxe! Enjoy!

[Ari_Racing]

Wow David! Amazing stuff! :)

[NeedfulKings]

20 and 60 bucks! Wow!! I still marvel at the value of that book.

Nice gem, David.

Turtlex, I love the display of your stuff. :)

And Gris and batsker---VERY nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sleeplessdwarf]

My eyes kept going to that 60$ too. I could afford to buy every deluxe edition at that price. :drool:

[Ari_Racing]

Congratulations to all! :) Amazing stuff!

[oy-the-brave]

I received my Alan M Clark Jake & Oy painting today with all the prelim pieces. I will post a pic when it's back from the framer.

Alan is offering it as a print here (only 19.00):

http://alanmclark.com/shop/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=835

And for only 15.00 more he will do a remarque.

[turtlex]

Congrats David.... found items are the coolest ! $60... Hee. Okay, I'll double that if anyone wants to sell theirs!

Dave - I cannot wait to see that all framed up !

Dave-
Your artwork collection will rival Bob's if you don't stop soon! Can't wait to see it framed. You have good taste...looking forward to the pictures.

[mae]

Did anyone here pay $60 back in '82? :)

[carlosdetweiller]

Did anyone here pay $60 back in '82? :)

Not me. I did buy a new shrinkwrapped trade edition at a comic shop in Seattle for $20 in 1982. I also remember seeing an S/L offered for $250 in the Comic Buyer's Guide at about that same time but I didn't know anything about limited editions then and thought that the edition I had just bought for $20 was real expensive.

[wizardsrainbow]

Bob-

Do you think the flyer has any value as a collectible given that the Gunslinger is arguably one of the most sought after King collectibles?

[carlosdetweiller]

Bob-

Do you think the flyer has any value as a collectible given that the Gunslinger is arguably one of the most sought after King collectibles?

I never thought so, but I could be wrong. I've got a few that I have accumulated over the years. They used to be included free as filler material when you ordered one of the portfolios from Grant. Who knows, there may be a large stack of them in the barn sitting on top of the DT2 proofs!!

Heres the New Pride and Joy I was discussing a few weeks back.

http://i42.tinypic.com/2zeie7d.jpg


Needless to say, I'm very happy with this purchase. Larry at BLP makes some extremely nice books, and I'm glad to own one now. The fact that its one of Keene's best books is just icing on the cake.

[Matt]

Absolutely stunning Eric! What a great buy.

[turtlex]

Eric - That is amazing! Well worth the wait. Congratulations!!!

[jhanic]

Very nice, Eric. A beautiful edition.

John

[oy-the-brave]

Absolutely beautiful Eric, Bloodletting sure does some neat lettereds, very nice :cool:

[oy-the-brave]

Here is my Alan Clark painting framed, I could not resist framing the painting with the prelims, I just love seeing the progression.

The overall frame is 19" X 55"

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

[jhanic]

Dave, that's awesome. I totally agree that the progression is a great idea!

John

[carlosdetweiller]

I've never seen a sequence like that before. Having them all in the same frame is very innovative. I like it a lot.

[wizardsrainbow]

Couldn't agree more. Dave, that's awesome.

Eric...very very nice book! Congrats.

[Brice]

Eric, that's a beautiful book as all BLP's lettereds seem to be. And Dave, I really like the presentation there with the prelim sketches framed with the painting. Congratulations to you both.


It's possible I'm mistaken, but I want to say about a year or so ago I saw one of the Grant flyers advertising DTII or III sell for fifty or sixty once on ebay. I was going to bid when it was lower, but... If I'm right I guess that doesn't really indicate value. I mean someone might have just wanted it badly.

[e_taylor]

That really is a cool way to display the piece, congratulations!

[jhanic]

I should have an Advance Readers Copy of The Big Book of Necon in a couple weeks. Of course, I'll be posting a scan of the cover.

John

[turtlex]

Dave - That is great!!! What a cool way to display the artwork ... beginning to finish. Well done!

[Randall Flagg]

Eric and Dave, wow! Very impressive. I think the linear presentation of the Oy the Brave pictures is genius.

I picked up a King/Hill tip-sheet.
I must say I am less than thrilled with King's bunched signature.

http://www.thedarktower.org/gallery/data/510/medium/King-Hill_Signed_Tip_Sheet.jpg

[e_taylor]

Jerome -

His signature seems to be going to hell lately. I got a "crappy" one in both LSoE and He Is Legend. But what can you do? A signature is a signature... I guess.

[Patrick]

I don't know its monetary worth, but that original newsletter/flyer is cool, David. Beautiful book, Eric. Dave, I love the way you had all three framed. Jerome, messy or not, that's still kinda cool to have an extra signed page.

[Matt]

e_taylor has been so generous to me. I now have this and I couldn't be more please.

Thank you Eric! :couple:

http://www.thedarktower.org/2009f/DoTT.jpg

[Brice]

It's an awesome book, Matt! That was very generous of Eric.

[Patrick]

Congrats, Matt. Way to go, Eric.

[e_taylor]

As I mentioned to Matt, and will mention here - the thanks should go to Matt for all the hard work he's putting into the Fundraiser this year. He's busting his ass, and I figured what better way to say thanks than with a DT book! :couple:

[Brice]

Good point! Much thanks to Matt. :D It was still very nice of you though.

[turtlex]

Congrats, Matt.... Very cool of you, Eric !

This week will make for one of my best bday weeks ever. I am expecting Needful Things proof(my first), my LSoE copy I sent to David to have personalized by Michael Whelan, and the PC S/L of Insomnia I just won on ebay. I will post pics as they arrive.

I almost forgot to mention I received a UK first edition Skeleton Crew today. Not quite proud enough to take a pic of it but it does add to a great week of King. :rock:

Thank you sir!

As I already mentioned, it meant the world to me that you would do that.

I have so many things coming to me this time of year and getting something that was for Matt was very cool. I put your note between the pages so it would always be with it.

[Cutter]

A few King items recently:

I finally got the LSoE S/L and Artists Edition – no sketches or doodle, though :( But I’m still pretty darn happy to have a new signed edition of a King Dark Tower book!

And one that I neglected to mention that I won from the Haven Foundation auctions a few weeks back, which was one of the Geyer Green Mile electric chair prints. Which I really liked the print, and it’s a nice size too.

So I’m happy with my new King items!

Sorry for the pic quality. My daughter has my camera and the lights were not good for the phone. These are for you turtlex as I would not likely have posted pics otherwise. Maybe I would have mixed it in when the others arrived.I had a harder time figuring out if it was a first edition, but according to a few sites I found it is. :P

[turtlex]

Very cool, sleepless. I love UK editions.. the covers are so neat.

Time to start up a collectors book thread !

[sleeplessdwarf]

I will, as soon as soon as the other three I have coming arrive. For now you can see pretty much what I have in my latest pic in fotograph thread.

It wasn't all one box. :lol: The Prime Evil was one. The other stuff excluding the UK books was one and then the UK books were two boxes. I really didn't expect the girl who delivers my mail to get the biggest box of 20+ books to my door, but she did.

First off, Huge thanks to David for helping me get this done. The proof is my first so I am thrilled about it as well. I have a question though. When I got the LSoE back and was checking out the inscription, I noticed the skull. I am almost certain that it was there when I sent the book off so I was wondering everyone who did not get a remarque have the skull beside Michael's name? Maybe David will come in and say I am nuts and that he drew that along with the Ka/eye. I was just so proud of the book when I first got it that I did not open it enough to really see what was there. :wtf:

[jhanic]

My copies only have the signature. You are very lucky!

John

[Matt]

Hey drew a little sketchy doodle in a lot of them from what I understand. I mean, before they were sold.

[sleeplessdwarf]

My copies only have the signature. You are very lucky!

John


OMG. So unless David comes and tell me I am insane, then the skull was already unique to the book. Do not get me wrong. I still would have sent it to Michael for the inscription.

I forgot that I included On Writing in the first pic. It is nothing special but it is a first/first which the seller at ebay did not mention. So I am glad of that. Now it is just a matter of time till my S/L of Insomnia arrives and I will have my first King sig this go around.

[turtlex]

Awesome, Karen...

Gee, Brice... did Santa visit you early?!? Way cool !

Sleepless!!! Woowhoo. Very cool, too.

Congrats to all of you!!!!

[Matt]

OMG. So unless David comes and tell me I am insane, then the skull was already unique to the book. Do not get me wrong. I still would have sent it to Michael for the inscription.

According to what I have seen and read, the skull was probably put in the book when Michael originally signed it, before it was sold to you.

Very unique and cool. :rock:

[sleeplessdwarf]

Agreed Matt. Here is a pic a bit closer. When you look at the page in person his sig and the skull look to be from the same pen. The inscription is a bit lighter. If David comes and says he seen Michael do it at dinner then I am way wrong, but at this moment I am 90% sure that I seen the skull the day it first came. I just thought it was part of the original print on the page.

[Ari_Racing]

So here's another remarque! :)
Congratulations!!!

[sleeplessdwarf]

It is still open for debate. I am very certain that the skull was there when I received it from grant. I did think it was just part of the print. David has said to me in PM that it was done as a favor and since he was there I can not argue that. Looking at the ink on the page the skull does fit with the original sig. Just in case David is not really sure if it was done at dinner or not, I have messaged the Whelan's to inquire. This has absolutely nothing to do with increasing the value of the book(I will not sale) but it does lend to the discussion of the limited amount of remarques. I know a few others have mentioned that there were small doodles. I just want to list this numbered book as one that came with a doodle if that is in fact the case. Hopefully I hear from David or Michael soon.

No matter what, this is my pride and joy atm. Please check the collecting questions thread if you have an answer about my new proof. Thanks.

[tippy4]

I have a hard time beleiveing Michael would consider that skull a remarque.

Don't get me wrong...it is nice...but I call that a doodle.

I might even go so far as to call it a sketchy-doodle (god I hate that phrase).

Remarque though?....nah.

[sleeplessdwarf]

I do remember a few others reporting that they had small doodles when they received their copy(the eye) or such. I do not care if it is a remarque or not. The thing here is what did he consider a doodle when he did the sig. If the skull was part of the original sig, then it has to be included in the ones he said he did. I am not so sure his definition of sketchy doodle is much different than ours.

[Patrick]

I don't understand the significance of whether he did it originally (anonymously) or later when he inscribed the book to you. Either way it's there now, and it's very cool!

Karen, congrats on yours too.

Brice, great stuff and a whole lot of it!

Absolutely none. To be honest it is more of a personal thing. My mind swears to me that the skull was there from the beginning. So that part of my brain is telling me I am a dumb ass for thinking it was part of the print on the page and that all copies had it. The other side is telling me that David knows exactly what he is talking about and that it was done as a little extra for me since I only asked for the Ka/eye. Please do not get me wrong on this one. I am thrilled either way. If you could only see how I handle the book when the wife asked to see it, you would know. :P I guess it is part of my ocd behavior rearing it head. :doh:

[Matt]

I think you may be confused about what David said.

I am 99.9% sure that your little skull was added when Michael originally signed it. He did that on a few of them with a Ka symbol. You are one of the lucky few that not only got a sketchy doodle (on the book when you bought it) but also a personal remarque courtesy of David and Michael.

You may have felt like a dumbass for thinking it was a part of the page but it wasn't. Just lucky happenstance.

[Patrick]

Yep. Congrats again!

[wizardsrainbow]

Ok, just to make this clear...Michael did the skull, the ka symbol, the eye and the inscription on Saturday night after dinner when we were sitting there talking, in front of my own eyes. He did the same with Karen's book. We watched him sketch it out. When you got the book, there was nothing except Michael's signature and the number on the book. Everything else was added last Saturday night.

[Matt]

Dang!

I was way off base and should have stayed out of this all together.

Sorry for the confusion and thanks for clearing that up David.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Thanks for clearing it up. As stated, it was just as nice either way. I can't begin to tell you how much I appreciate you for delivering the book, and to Michael for making it even more awesome.

Matt, you made an educated guess and can't fault your logic there. I just hope I do not find anything confusing when my latest purchase arrives. Damn the doctors and switching my meds. It does make my brain feel like scrambled eggs for the first week.

Thanks again David, for everything.

[wizardsrainbow]

Welcome Jason. Glad you are happy with the book.

[sleeplessdwarf]

Happy does not do it justice. I have sigs from various celebs. When you get one from an asshole like Emmit Smith, it really does not mean much. When you are able to get something like this from a guy as cool as Michael seems to be, then it makes it great. You David, are awesome for helping out someone that you have only had brief encounters with for a month or so. :grouphug:

Wow. Way to shop!
Congrats, Jerome.

[Randall Flagg]

Craigslist.
I just missed out on a 1st Bachman Books @$50:pullhair:

[Patrick]

It never occurred to me to check craigslist, Jerome. Good idea. :)

[Dr. Dawg]

It never occurred to me to check craigslist, Jerome. Good idea. :)

I agree, no luck on San Diego's craiglist, though.

[Rusher]

Hey all, since you mentioned craigslist I thought I would let you all in on what I have been doing, even though it could pose some competition in the future...lol

I have been buying Stephen King books on craigslist for years. 99% of the time people selling their SK books on craigslist may not know what they have or what its worth.

If you put the right words in the Google search field such as " Stephen King books craigslist " or " Stephen King Collection craigslist " or " Stephen King signed craigslist " it will bring up a huge list of craigslist ads all over the country...not just local to you.

Most people, in my experience around 90% of people are perfectly willing to mail out books to you and of those people most also have paypal. I have been doing this for years and probably have at least 40 transactions through craigslist. I have only been screwed once...but that was partly my own stupidity that that happened to me.

Some of my recent purchases are:

1. Grant 1st Wizard and Glass still in shrink wrap for $50.00
2. Talisman/Black House numbered gift set still in shrink wrap, From A Buick 8 Gift Edition still in shrink wrap and all three different hardcover Colorado Kid's still in original package from PS Publishing...All these for 215.00 shipped !!
3. A complete set of Dark Tower hardcover books, the first four were Viking first edition, first prints and the last three were first editions...all in near fine or better condition for 65.00 plus shipping.

And my most recent one... An inscribed signed and dated first edition of The Dead Zone signed in 1980 and a first edition first printing HC Bachman Books for a total of 110.00

So there are some great deals out there on craigslist !!!

[Room 217 Caretaker]

I've been cruising Craigslist for a while.

Just an FYI about Craigslist:

The sellers that are being run off of Ebay for shady signatures and deals, have started posting the same books on Craigslist. Always, ALWAYS ask for a picture before buying a signed book.

Looking into my crystal ball, it's a bit cloudy but I see a new thread being created called

The Craigslist BS Game: Questionable items, signatures, sellers

Cumberland VA

[Nerak]

Ralph, LOL!!

[Rusher]

I would never ever buy a signed book without pictures...and after I get the pictures of the signed page... I send them to Hutch to verify the signature and he is always very kind and helpful with his reply. If Hutch doesn't like the signature... I don't buy it. Simple as that. But I can see how people would try Craigslist in hopes of snagging a sucker that they can't get on Ebay !!!

[Patrick]

Yep, Jerome, close enough you could have had me pick up the book for you. :thumbsup:

[Cutter]

Well I bought (for the second time) one of The Green Mile S/L's from batsker. I sold my copy a while back, and have been kicking myself ever since, considering there's only 150 of them. So I am pumped to get it back in my collection!

Also I bought the book from batsker in person, as he's making a little trip, and he said he was meeting up with some other DT members, which is cool. We had dinner together and he was a real nice guy. I was glad to hook up with another King collector in person.

[willie3]

Very cool Geoff !

Also looking forward to meeting batsker in person when he gets to Jacksonville !!

[Patrick]

Cool, Geoff. Glad you got that S/L again, and that you and batsker had the opportunity to get together.

Yay! Karen got my books shipped out before she went on leave! Thanks Karen, they look great! Picked up a package from the post office on Sat with a Phil Hale signed DTII and AE's of DT V and VII.

So now I've got artist signed Grants for all but Wizard and Glass. Two of them are doodled, and I'm working on getting some doodles in the others (along a common theme), which is my ultimate goal. I have a feeling though that getting a copy of W&G signed is going to be tough, let alone doodled. McKean is not easy to get intouch with it seems. :orely:

[batsker]

I'm in the same boat. I need 1st eds of DT 3 and 4 signed by the artists (no doodles for me unfortunately.:cry: If anyone knows where either can be found, and passes it along, I'd be in your debt.

Yup, got mine yesterday too. it's a HUGE book. Kind of disappointed in the flat red no embossment, markings, or any type a flare slipcase, but the book itself is beautiful.

Real thing, not an arc!

I just got two more proofs. I've added them to my Collections thread. I've got two more on order. After they arrive, I'll be adding them also.

The two I got are proofs of McSweeney's Mammoth Treasury of Thriiling Tales with The Tale of Grey Dick and Nebula Awards 28 with King's essay on the passing of Fritz Leiber, A World Without Fritz.

The actual book man. The real deal. Yeah, it's got a no frills slipcase that really is disappointing considering what I paid for the book, but after looking at the other slipcased books from CD (except Secretary of Dreams) I shouldn't have been surprised as they (only two that I own) have plain slipcases too. I think would have chosen another color besides red though.

Now I just have to find a copy of Wood's Uncollected, Unpublished for a decent price.

I'll have to do the picture thing later, this weekend probably. But I will post some.

[CRinVA]

Got my Non-Ficiton book today - check one off from CD Pubs; three to go! :-)

Not thrilled with the Red slip case either, but the book itself is great! Big too! About 1/8inch taller than LSOE and about 1/3 wider!

[Patrick]

Might one of you post a photo of two of NON-FICTION? I'd love to see what you're all talking about. Thanks.

"Ziesing made good quality books (shame he messed up the inside on Insomnia). I hate that he's no longer publishing."

Sam, I have not looked through the book other than what I took the pics of. What did he mess up on?

[Sam]

The text that was used was from an earlier version and had typos and grammatical errors from my understanding. I don't know who was responsible for that mix-up, but Ziesing took the heat for it. He made some really nice books. I have several that he published and all of them are well made and beautiful.

I see many DT.COM recognizable names to include myself, Bob J., Ralph, Eric Taylor, Gretchen, Geoff Guthrie, (prob more but I can't equate name to screen name in many cases)

Other names I recognize include Ed Nomura, SK (of course), Steve Spignesi (he always said IT was his #1 book), Ralph Vicinanza, Lilja, Larry Fire, Larry Ouellete, Rocky Wood, Garrett Peck,

Got my copy of Stephen King Goes to the Movies yesterday!


So this book is out now? I pre-ordered from Camelot like a million years ago and haven't heard anything since. Hmmmm.

I asked to be listed as an extra under "Wizard & Glass." Can you post the name list and let me see if I am there? Thanks.

[divemaster]

Oh, and not a King-related book, but one I've been wanting for a while.

Oh so I am in there! Maybe I'll have to re-order a copy....

My latest proof acquisition is the Dark Harvest Press publication of The Sins of the Fathers with the introduction by King:

I also received the black traycase for The Stand from The Collector today.

John

[e_taylor]

Very nice John! Aren't those Dark Harvest proofs fairly scarce?

[jhanic]

I don't think this one is particularly scarce. I didn't pay that much for it (I found it on Biblio.com).

[Ricky]

Wow, how long has it been since I posted here with something new to share? I'll try and compile a list and pictures of what I've recently acquired to post later on.

[wizardsrainbow]

I'm listed as an extra in The Stand, just above Rocky Wood.

[Patrick]

It is cool seeing you all on that list!

Congrats on the new arc, John, and on the non-King book, divemaster.

[Gris]

Got to meet Lisa Scottoline last night and get a few books signed.

She's not a huge well-known author i don't think, but writes great crime/suspense type books. Very entertaining speaker.

three names under W&G


Shervin Dean
Joe Loubriel
Carlee O'Dell

Is one of these you?

[batsker]

I'm a bit surprised. I ordered and asked to be put under the Long Walk, but I'm not listed above. I might have to ask them what happened.

[CRinVA]

When I first ordered I put in my choice and then I got an email quite a while later asking me to put in my choice so I re-did it and I did make it in. I was kind of surprized to say the least as I figured it would be a screwup!

I followed up with Camelot and just received the following reply:

Hi ----:

I just discovered a problem - your name was not put into the book as an
"extra" and I have been in touch with Subterranean Press and they said to
comp you the book with their profuse apologies. So let me know if you want
me to refund to your card the $75.00 that you pre-paid or leave it as Store
Credit and we'll take care of the shipping charge.

I'm very sorry about this

----------

So disappointed! I was looking forward to sharing the excitment of this thread, but now I'm on the outside looking in. I'm grateful for the comp, but still, I'd rather have been listed in the book.

Damn damn double damn.

[Sam]

It's good that Subterranean is doing their best to make good though.

[turtlex]

Gris - I've read Lisa Scottoline !! Congrats on meeting her and getting the sigs!

I think she lives somewhere in Pennsylvania, because she does quite a few book signings in the Philly area.

[Sam]

My wife and I got to meet her once too in Charlotte, NC. She reads Scottoline and loves it. The Joseph-Beth bookstore there held a reading there with a signing taking place afterward. It was a nice experience for both of us.

[Gris]

I believe she lives right outside of Philly. I'm about 1.5 hours North of Philly. She was very "spunky"

[EXPLORER]

Got my copy of Stephen King Goes to the Movies yesterday!

I just got the trade edition, but I'm in it, so it's special anyway!

Anyone else that ordered it opt to be listed as an extra? I'm one of the walkers in the Long Walk. Too bad I know that my character dies.

http://allgris.dns4me.com:8085/books/Images%5CStephenKingGoesToTheMovies_ag.jpg

Is this the only page with names? I am suppose to be there...yet do not see my name.... believe I requested Duma Key as my choice.

Congrats Pam that is one serious KA symbol, very nice :thumbsup:

It's awesome!
Thanks, Dave!

[carlosdetweiller]

Yes, it is very nice. I don't think I've ever seen him use the little stylized "MW" to sign a small sketch like that. He usually reserves that form of signature for his larger paintings. Part of the fun of the larger paintings is finding the little "MW." He can be pretty creative in hiding it sometimes.

[Patrick]

Hmmm. Never heard of it, Pam. Is it any good? :yawn:

[wizardsrainbow]

Pam-

Glad you like your new Pride & Joy!

There are 3 pages of "extras" alphabetically. This is the middle one.

[turtlex]

David -

I love my new Pride and Joy !!! It's flipping awesome!

There's nothing like filling in a hole in your collection.

[Ari_Racing]

Not exactly something you can see and touch, but the feeling is even better:

Today I was confirmed as Videogame Designer for Gameloft!!

Who knows...maybe a videogame based on one of King's works is near the horizon :) I had the project since 2002 and maybe...maybe :)

[Ari_Racing]

Double post. Sorry!
