Had Maitz do a remarque in my CD #'d THE SHINING. It's a fantastic watercolor. Shared this on the FB page and got lots of love. It's a beauty

Has anyone dealt much with Alex McVey?
I've been considering having my Blockade Billy S/L remarqued but after talking to a friend of mine it seems he's not very communicative once he's been paid. Not saying he doesn't fulfill the order, I believe he does but I'm a little leery of sending out an S/L.
Any thoughts?

I know David had a HELL of a time. He made it right but it was years... maybe talk to David at Betts. I have not worked with Alex so do not want to say either way but do remember David being Very frustrated with him!

Thanks Kris. That's what I was afraid of. I'll check with David.

Alex did make right. I remember that to. It was some time before he did though

And David basically called him out to get him moving on it.

It ended up okay in the end though.

I just checked my email correspondence with Alex from when I had my book remarqued back in 2011. The whole process from sending the book, Alex adding four remarques (when I only asked for one!), and then getting the book back, took about three weeks.

I remember David’s frustrations with him as well, but I had a great experience working with him.

I have dealt with Alex many a time and he can be excruciatingly slow returning the final product once finished. I found great success when paying him 30% up front, 30% when he shows pictures of completed project, and 40% upon my receipt of the finished product.

Thanks fellas! I appreciate the input and the links to David's dealings with him.
I'll have to ponder this one but I like the idea of paying him in increments.

Here are my remarqued books. Nothing as out standing as these but I am proud to have them
Dr. Sleep

Mr. Jingles from The Green Mile

And I have what Think is called the Colorado Kid Artist Edition Lettered Set






So there were only 26 of these sets made I think. But as you can see, they are not signed by King. But I like them a lot.
So those are all that I have.

A message from Don Maitz regarding some of his remarques!

"I have some information for people who have books with my watercolor remarques from a few years ago, where the paper has puckered or buckled which is apparent on the back side of the art. Experimentation has revealed that a slightly dampened paper towel lightly rubbed on the backside to very lightly dampen the paper will help the process of flattening the art when a protective sheet of wax paper is placed over the watercolor art and a sheet of glass (or something similarly thin, clean and hard is placed behind the art on the slightly damped backside). Close the book and a stack of books placed on top overnight will flatten the paper considerably. If there are still ripples in the paper, repeat the process using a Very lightly dampened paper towel. I have gotten the paper stock completely flat using this method."

[Stockerlone]

A remarque question....
What do you prefer when you like the coverillustration and
a interior illustration from the same artist in one book and you want both as remarques ?
Both 2 remarques in one S/L book or is it better to buy the
S/L book 2 times for one remarque each?

[Curly]

Personal choice. I would prefer one large remarque in each book, but I also have some CD ones with 3 in the same book.
