Congratulations, David!

[carlosdetweiller]

I'd like to add my congratulations, David, on another nice acquisition. And I'm looking forward to seeing the two unsold books again on eBay. It has really been a nice project.

I LOVE Shardik Robots. Must have been before my time here, because I certainly would have bid!
What's The Flying Monsters like?? Sounds intriguing..

When we announced the project, one of the guidelines I wanted to follow was that the images would be characters from The Waste Lands, in scenes from The Waste Lands. For the most part, we stuck to that guideline, but there were two deviations....the one with the characters faces with the rose-petal background, and the final one that sold today.

But, for #21 it just seemed right that the image be of Roland and The Tower.

I am going to send The Flying Monsters back to Ned, and he is going to "punch it up" a bit. Add some background, etc.

Funny...the "rose petal" one was the only other one I wasn't a personal fan of...it's like when he moved away from the storyline, it seemed a little contrived and pretentious. But, you're right that the Tower needed to figure in somewhere, and #21 is a good place.

I actually really liked the flying monsters last time...be interesting to see what it looks like a little punched up...maybe enough to get me off the sidelines...haha...

EDIT: This sounds harsher than I intended...really, what I meant was when he broke away from the storyline, it can seem contrived because the focus becomes the art, not the story...but the art itself is still top quality!

Well, I am THRILLED to be the owner of the last remarque in the project, especially as it has Roland and the Tower...Story line be damned! I ADORE Ned's original artwork (which Bob owns quite a bit of) and having a remarque with Ned's depiction of the Tower is what drew me to this particular one. I started my Ned collection with a Black and White of Roland receiving the cross from Aunt Talitha at River Crossing (attached pic) and end with Roland approaching the Tower. I also have remarques now of Roland, Jake, Oy, Eddie & Susannah.

BTW...I am purchasing the Rose/Nebua remarque as well from the owner (he is a consignee at Betts). So, I will own: #2, #4, #8, #9, #12, #19 and #21

Uh, do people know that i LIKE remarques?

[tippy4]

Wow....you own exactly one-third of them!

#21 is on the way to you now!

I decided to start the auction for #X Shardik's Robots today at 6:00 PM PST and let the auction run for ten days.

Here is the link (it won't work until 6PM).

I really like that one! If I had that kind of $$$ burning a hole in my pocket...

[Patrick]

Congrats, David!

I have always liked the Robots and was surprised it didn't sell the first go around.

[tippy4]

Shardik's Robots is sold!

$717.66

Not a record, but a very respectable price, especially when you consider it went usold the first time around.

I need to get The Flying Monsters sent back to Ned so he can punch it up a bit.

In the mean time, he has a few pieces that he wants me to post for sale (some original paintings he did for Knowing Darkness).

[Rahfa]

Nice....so all it took was for the project to earn credibility and it attained appropriate market value.

[tippy4]

I am selling a painting for Ned Dameron.

Here is the link......

The Dog

[George at C-Springs]

Wow. I know my wife wouldn't let me hang that one on the wall.

[tippy4]

I will list this one on ebay to start on 04/16, and run for 10 days.

LARGER IMAGE

[frik]

Absolutely gorgeous!
It'll sell for sure!

[Ben Staad]

Awesome Tippy! I love everything about that drawing.

[Ricky]

Wow! It looks like a completely different piece!

[tippy4]

Yeah...it is amazing what a little background adds.

Plus, he increased the number of creatures from three to twenty.

[Randall Flagg]

I think it will do well at auction.

AUCTION LINK

[Randall Flagg]

Looks like someone has already bid on it.

[Rahfa]

So much better!

I sorta wish 3-4 more had gone unsold just so we could see the improvements he would have made to them....but, really, there were just a couple that truly called out for a little enhancement like this anyway.

[tippy4]

Just giving this a bump since the auction is at the halfway point.
