Sweet - after having our customs people hold my LE Remarqued FDNS to ransom for two weeks until I paid tax on it, I have one of the Big Driver remarques from Glenn (will post it on my thread later this weekend) - freaking awesome !!!! :excited:

Turns out the lettered PC edition of FDNS I received has an original color illustration (aka remarque) done and signed by Chadbourne on the title page. Pics to come but its nothing not already seen - barn, house, skeleton coming out of the well with lots and lots of rats. Might not be a popular comment but truthfully Im a little bummed. I wanted the title page for a commissioned illustration (not a Chadbourne). On the bright side I didnt pay extra for it, so I guess thats something.
Gotta accentuate the positive I suppose Nadine - a free remarque is pretty cool (but I suppose it depends on tastes, I know you're not a huge fan of Glenn's, particularly the repetitive stuff) but not so much so if you had other plans for it (ie- having one of the other artists remarque the title page) :unsure: So, congratulations and commiserations in equal measure :smile:
Thanks Bad Penny.
Forprosperity'sposterity's sake I'll post the image here.

I'm thinking you mean posterity?
Posterity/prosperity - it's all good :P I like it Nadine, mainly cos I believe you may hold the record for the overall number of rats in any one of Glenn's FDNS remarques (I count 15 1/3 of the furry little buggers) :panic:
Well, I suppose if rats were a recognised medium of exchange somewheres you'd likely be considered quite well-to-do, rodentially speaking ??? :unsure:
In case anyone is interested, came across this one on eBay today; S/L #254, remarqued (it's a one-ratter), $1500 BIN/OBO.

Wow. That's a nice remarque, but at roughly $1000 over what FDNS S/L numbered copies are selling for today, I personally couldn't justify triple the market value.
I'm sorry but, ONE RAT is really a totally lame remarque and I really mean no disrespect. You see I believe somewhere there is a "Rat" thread for FD/NS that ended with the famous "Ultimate Rat Edition" that contained, Glenn's absolute most rats and bears the further guaranty to never be reproduced or exceeded. As such the "Ultimate Rat Edition" is a truly one of a kind edition. The only book in existence. So, in that light, this edition has to be considered a "Light weight" by any reasonable standards.
Actually, if my memory serves at all, this edition is not even close to the "Ultimate Rat" edition I mentioned above. As I recall there were 30+ rats in that edition. The rats extended past the full page remarque to quite a few of the pages even. It was designed, by Glenn's own count, to have the record number of rats and as I stated came with the guaranty to never be equaled or exceeded by him. I know, I designed and paid for the donation to the Haven Fund. TN's copy is quite nice and impressive none the less. I'm not trying to take anything away from her very cool and very nice ikkustration.
Unfortunately, as usual, David is spot on with his info. Maybe even a little generous with regard to the pricing. And I like his work too.
The art files are on my other PC and I can't get to them right now so, you'd have to ask, Jerome if he still has it. You can see the art on The Collector site under multiple illustrations. I know I sent him all three pieces. As I recall, Baumann did the B/W Truck, Clark did the dice and I'm unsure of which one Chadbourne did if that helps a little.
I was scrolling back through and saw that in 2012 Merlin had a Lettered M up for $1500, so yeah this S/L one might be a tad high.
Also, if memory serves me right, we had a dedicated Rat thread that descended into name-calling and assorted other mayhem and was thus discontinued by the boss. I mean, that certainly sounds like us .......
Really? Name calling and assorted mayhem? From us? Perish the thought, George.Perish the thought!!! LOL I have certainly never sunk to that level before I believe as far as I can recall. lol
