That's the first thing I thought of when seeing the numbered! It really is a stunning edition.

Recently finished reading Suntup's edition of 'A Scanner Darkly'. While I'd read it previously I'd forgotten just how tragic the story is. I'm too young to relate to the drug culture that inspired the novel, but the humanity that Dick ensures we can see in the characters really comes through. I love the art that Vanessa Lemen created for this. The illustrations are just pitch perfect in theme and placement. They really speak to the paranoia, loss of identity, and pervasive surveillance that is present throughout the novel. For some reason I'd just assumed these were digital, but are apparently oil on board - I bet the originals are just amazing to see in person.

Vanessa's paintings are amazing. I have two, one being the cover of the numbered edition.

Becca, you are quietly amassing a wonderful original art collection. Be careful (or move to a large house) as you will run out of wall space.

Wall space you say? I don’t know what that is anymore as well as shelf space!

Since we’re sharing art, I rarely buy any of the originals from our books but it made sense to get this one.

Perfection. You had to buy it. I love his stuff. Hopefully he’ll be an artist who can work on another Suntup edition?

You had to end that with a question mark huh?! But yes, that would be nice.

Hahahaha I didn’t want anyone to think I knew something. My survival depends on the low expectations of others.

That's one amazing piece of art Paul! And it totally makes sense to own it. 😎

Looks like we're going to a lottery with 2 numbered left!

Wow, only 2. That's impressive. Good luck everybody.

2 numbered left in the lottery?

Handmaid looks very nice, and I am considering entering it...

Love that piece, Paul. Do the artists often sell the originals created for Suntup Editions? If so, what's the appropriate way to find out about a particular piece? Contact the artist directly or contact Suntup Editions? I want to be as little of a bother as possible but have no idea how the rights or agreements work with the art.

Sure, you would just contact the artist directly. And yes I have seen where people have purchased original art from some of our editions. Good luck!

Paul,

In your last facebook video, at 9min03 you mention a "cat slipcase" for "a scanner darkly". Any chance to know more about what that is?
I am not sure to understand from the website pictures

I believe he said “capped” slipcase.

Yes. Like Horns and Let the Right One In as well. And Dune from Centipede.

Thanks !

That’s it. Capped. Must be my foreign accent!

More likely to be my foreign understanding :)
