He does absolutely beautiful remarques and is one hell of a nice man.....but.....what does he have to do with either of these stories? Imagine all the poo-poo'ing if it were Glenn Chadbourne doing the remarques.
He is an artist. Lol they hired one to do work in the book. What do you even mean? Lol.He does absolutely beautiful remarques and is one hell of a nice man.....but.....what does he have to do with either of these stories? Imagine all the poo-poo'ing if it were Glenn Chadbourne doing the remarques.

I guess I missed any mention of him doing art other than the remarques.

Even if he didn’t do any artwork, why would he have to be connected to the book to do a remarque? I don’t know.. they hired him to add some value to the project and I think it’s great. I’m sure he is doing other work to in the book but even if not, I’m thrilled to see him on the project in any capacity.He is an artist. Lol they hired one to do work in the book.

BTAIM, I won't buy the book and don't care one way or the other. I just find it amusing that pearls are clutched when one artist is used but it's okay for another. It's all good!
Preference. Some like some artwork and others don’t. I am not a Chadbourne fan and never was. I do really like François’s work though. His airbrushed remarques are amazing!https://www.thedarktower.org/palaver...=1#post1028580Even if he didn’t do any artwork, why would he have to be connected to the book to do a remarque?

Can someone point to examples of Vaillencourts works?
Fantastic work.
He puts a TON OF TIME into his remarques. And he airbrushes them. Such a unique technique. He has some other big King projects coming to

EXCITING ADDITION TO THE LETTERED EDITION OF FRANK DARABONT'S HOPE AND MIRACLES
In a recent newsletter we gave you a look at the lettered edition traycase for HOPE AND MIRACLES. A customer suggested that we add a hammer to the top of the traycase, similar to the one used by Tim Robbins' character "Andy Dufresne" in The Shawshank Redemption. We lucked out and were able to get wood from the tree that was in the film!
The tree fell down several years ago (see photos below) and items were made and sold from the wood of the tree. There is enough wood left for the hammers we wanted (see photo to the left). They will be inserted into the spine of the traycase so no one can accidentally knock it off.
We’ll be adding a carved in letter to each (A-Z, AA-ZZ) so each will be unique. The letters are fire etched into the wood.
This, plus the remarques by Francois Villancourt makes the Platinum edition of the book a one-of-a-kind collectible (signed by among others, Stephen King and Tom Hanks).
That's cool. Whoever thought of the rock hammer is a genius.
It’s amazing I have to say....

You guys know there’s a whole line of merchandise made from the wood of that tree, right?
It says as much in Curly's post.
Redding is hart, you know...
I'm aware of that. It's still a great idea to use the mini rock hammer with the letter stamped into the handle. That plus having the Villancourt remarques all make the price a bit more palatable.

New pic of case with hammer:
I am not a customer, so who cares about my opinion. But I don't like the red color.

I quite agree.
I would have pulled the trigger on it if Tim Robbins had also signed. To have King, Hanks, Robbins, and Darabont sign would have made sense to me.
I value the fact they're trying to improve the edition.
