Any status on this project? I know the initial target date was Summer.....
AKC
Yes, the initial target was late summer (personally, I'd look at that as August/September). We're still looking pretty close to that, although I'd doubt that we'd be ready in August....Shipping will probably be sometime late September or October. It takes quite some time for the artists to complete this many original illos and I don't want to push them too much. It's sort of a tight rope... push them too hard & you get lesser quality.....don't push at all & you don't get pieces. Must say that both Glenn and Ned are an absolute pleasure to work with. Wonderful guys!! I think everyone will be Very pleased with the results!!!
just curious whats going to happen with the letters Z and ZZ? still an auction? if so when?
thanks
It's really up to Jerome as to when. I would guess sometime around the 2013 fundraiser as "Z" is dedicated to that cause. "ZZ", I believe is is going to benefit the Shriner's hospitals and can be done at virtually anytime.
Well, since summer is pretty much over, it's time for these cases to ship. Hopefully all of them will be in the mail by October 10th (15th at the latest).
I'm expecting the 'ZZ' case auction (for Shriner's Hospital) to happen before Christmas. You'll have to ask the 'Haven Whore' about the auction for 'Z' (Haven Fund). (You can usually find him clowning around at the corner of Kansas St. & Canal.)
I won't be posting any pre-views of the art before shipping.We're leaving that up to the individual owners.
Bring on the wood, Dick !!!!! (oh, and the art, too, of course)
You are a dirty, dirty man, Grant!!!!
Spoiler:
I LOVE that about you!!!! LOL
I only "pimp" Haven auctions. TWMIDITW (RF) decide's when and where on the auctions. However, sometimes he allows me input. That is why he is: TMIDITW!!!
EDIT: Oh, and I do "Facilitate" a few as well!!
Speaking of which, I'm trying to get a head start on next years auctions so Jerome can hit the ground running. Therefore, if anyone has 1/1 King books to donate PM me. You're all pretty familiar with the artists I generally work with (and maybe some you don't know about). So feel free to make suggestions for Remarques. I can't guaranty that every donated book will get a remarque for auction, but I'll do my damned best!!!! Also, credit will go where it is due for each and every donation!!
I've seen it all and it is stunning, Jerome! However, I have been sworn to secrecy under penalty of breaking my fragile treaty with the "Ents" over my "The Hobbit" case. You have to be careful with "Ents" and their craftsman. They have intriguing methods and rituals related to DEATH!!!!
On top of that, Dick lives in New Mexico and could sick Walt, from "Breaking Bad" on me at any time!!!
However, I will post one gem.
Bomber, as you can see, is greatly excited by the pending deliveries and is quite honestly, beside himself!!! Please help to calm the poor Dog down by posting your art when it arrives!!!
Nope. He is deep in thought and working through the stress, which is considerable!!!
It's his "process", believe it or not!!!
LOL! I feel for him. It must be brutal working through all of those complex emotions he has about the art cases.
I know, right?? Plus, with all the art to be shipped shortly, it's a particularly stressful time!!! However, I am pretty darn sure everyone will be amazed and satisfied!!! Ned is an AWESOME artist and those that did not order will regret it!!
Most of the international orders have been shipped. I'm still waiting on a couple of pieces of art so the US orders should ship sometime this week. Once everything has gone out, David at Betts books will have a few 'Salem's Lot and Shining cases cases available for sale
Check with Dolso. There is always the possibility of a cancelled order.
I will have several for sale at Betts Books...I bought 8 total and am keeping 2 maybe 3 for myself....My price is going to match (or close therabouts) issue price!
Here is one I am going to keep....Ned painted me as Father Callahan as a special favor...
Dragline : Nothin'. A handful of nothin'. You stupid mullet head. He beat you with nothin'. Just like today when he kept comin' back at me - with nothin'.
Luke : Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.
