Very nice, congratulations!
Now...it's clear that Mark is a talented artist, but I also remember that when the book was announced, the quality of the sample artwork presented by Subterranean Press wasn't impressive at all (and if I'm not wrong, it caused some cancellations prior the book's publication). So what happened? Who's fault was?

King just sketchy-doodled an addition to Dameron's Jake/Oy remarque in my copy of Wastelands! Pics forthcoming.
Freaking awesome! Big, HUGE, congrats.Originally Posted by bast_imret
I can't wait to see it. Congratulations (and good choice)!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
Bob goes apoplectic and tries to prevent "sketchy-doodled" (along with "remarque") from entering the collecting lexicon.
LOL! I just sent Alex Mcvey an email asking for a sketchy doodled in my copy of BBBob goes apoplectic and tries to prevent "sketchy-doodled" (along with "remarque") from entering the collecting lexicon.
I actually like and approve of the term "sketchy-doodle." It is "remarque" that is consistently misused.Bob goes apoplectic and tries to prevent "sketchy-doodled" (along with "remarque") from entering the collecting lexicon.
I use "sketchy-doodle" to indicate a drawing that's just a little doodle (Whelan KA) versus a whole drawing or sketch.
Anyway, here's the doodle that king added to Dameron's sketch:
I love the Green Mile remarques. I remember when they were offered, I was under the impression that he would be doing small remarques. I even thought he would be reusing the same images. The Mouse, The Chair, etc. Oh well.
Sadly that's what I was thinking as well, as Mark really did some impressive remarques. Looks like I missed out on a very good deal. Bummer!I love the Green Mile remarques.

Sounds like a "Remar-ka-doodle" to me!!!Bob goes apoplectic and tries to prevent "sketchy-doodled" (along with "remarque") from entering the collecting lexicon.

WOW! That is brilliant. Congratulations.I use "sketchy-doodle" to indicate a drawing that's just a little doodle (Whelan KA) versus a whole drawing or sketch.

Shannon-I love the Green Mile remarques. I remember when they were offered, I was under the impression that he would be doing small remarques. I even thought he would be reusing the same images. The Mouse, The Chair, etc. Oh well.
For mine...I paid him "well above" the advertised rate of $125....try 4x that amount.
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.
Oh, I can imagine. He's a very, very nice guy, but also a "task master" when it comes to his work. Deservedly so IMHO!!!! You are "Da Man", David!!!! I tried to "work" him and to no avail!!! He's a tough negotiator, but a very good person as well!!Shannon-I love the Green Mile remarques. I remember when they were offered, I was under the impression that he would be doing small remarques.

Those are great!
Love the IT remarque, he seems so happy jugglin' those bones! lol
Merl, I'm happy you have a Jill Bauman remarque. I personally dislike the fact that she uses and reuses the same three images over and over and over and over again. But that's just me.
ESW, I see you snooping around in here, lol, may I ask how you come up with images to remarque? Do you just sit and think and go, "I wanna try THIS idea!"?
OMG they are sooooo cool!!!
Love the IT remarque!! Since Erin's been doing mostly black and white sketches, did you ask her for a little color, or was she just in the mood to spice it up a bit?
I love this. Erin has a very sensitive touch that shows in her graphite work. See how she works slowly and deliberately, accumulating marks in a way that leads to a hazy effect? I consider this a very painterly approach to drawing, and I dig it.My new Erin Wells remarque with a little color added.

Do you just sit and think and go, "I wanna try THIS idea!"?Nope--I enjoy reading these exchanges, I learn quite a bit about books and collecting, and I like to know what collectors and other artists are thinking about these things. To answer your question, Shannon, I try to do a unique remarque in each book. Not only would it get quite dreary drawing the same thing over and over and over again--where's the fun in that?--collectors trust that I will do a decent drawing in their book, and they spend hard-earned (I assume) funds to have an unusual, carefully-done work. I like combining a bit of humor with horror--are any of you also fascinated with that combination?--so the creepy, gore- and muck-spattered clown, grinning happily and juggling small skulls, drawn in a soft almost dreamy style struck me as a good mix. I know it's not a scene from the book, but it seems like when ol' P'wise is on his own time, just kickin' it at home down in the Barrens, he might enjoy singing a tune and juggling some Georgie-bones.
Thank you! :-)I love this. Erin has a very sensitive touch that shows in her graphite work. See how she works slowly and deliberately, accumulating marks in a way that leads to a hazy effect?

Yes, I requested a little color added.
It's quite cool, isn't it?.
