The Breaking of Father Callahan (Interior Illustration)
There are two remaining original Interior pieces that are still available for purchase from Dave....
There were two prelims done by David as well. One was done on the cover of the book he used for reference and no name was given to me. The other is the prelim to the cover of the gift. He did not name this either as it was a prelim but I love it and wish he did use it for one of the covers. I have kept this one. They are both featured in the portfolio however His work is just unreal... really hope to see more of David in the future. A HUGE congrats to Tim on having these originals!!!!!!!!!!

Actually David didn't do any traditional prelims for the Salem's Lot pieces. I believe the two pieces you are speaking about are two pieces he did for unused concepts and they were added to the portfolio. They wouldn't be prelims because they were both final pieces that were later added, better than prelims. Just want to make sure that the word prelim isn't tossed around like remarque tends to be these days. Haha.
I have to agree with you brother. I, did however, use his wording on the subject and "prelim" was his words to me. BUT, you are correct... I would class these more as concepts for sure. I also tend to think a "concept" piece is a more finished work rather than what a "prelim" is. Would you agree?

Actually it would be the opposite. A concept is mostly an Idea.. so a concept drawing would be a very rough idea of what they want to create. You might see a lot of concept drawings when an artist is working with a character and wants to draw that character in different angles. Getting an idea of how they want that character, or scene to look. Then I think they would create a prelim.. a first try (or maybe multiple tries) at what they envision the final piece to be. Some artists draw this out (Maitz), some paint this out (Dameron) and some do this digitally. I think that concept and prelim might be a little bit interchangeable. Then you have an original, finished piece. This is a piece that is completely finished and is something the artist would submit for printing.
I understand what you are saying. David had alternate ideas for covers and scenes that he never created for Salem's Lot. He did create paintings based on those ideas though for you on a commission basis. Then luckily, and very awesomely, those pieces were submitted to be in the portfolio. Which means that original commission is now a published piece of art (If art portfolios are actually published, but I think you know what I mean.) Those are finished pieces though. Concept and Prelim are all stages of a process that some artists use to create a finished piece.
Does that make sense? Sorry that was a little long winded Haha

Talked to Dave and he is obviously very excited at the reception his work is getting now that the CD 'Salem's has been released.
He does have two original pieces of art left if anyone was interested in acquiring. If so, send me a PM and I'd be happy to make the introduction....
He is incredible.
Love the 2nd one... Surprised that has not gone!

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.
