Wow, exciting! Talk about a snowball effect. Starting from a small project initially planned just for himself, to small press business. Godspeed Paul!

I wonder what the 7/7/17 date is for. It looks like another EOTD?
Something's coming... something wonderful...

"A real limited edition, far from being an expensive autograph stapled to a novel, is a treasure. And like all treasures do, it transforms the responsible owner into a caretaker, and being a caretaker of something as fragile and easily destroyed as ideas and images is not a bad thing but a good one...and so is the re-evaluation of what books are and what they do that necessarily follows." - Stephen King
I'm both intrigued and excited It definitely looks like something EOTD related. Maybe creating something from scratch this time instead of a rebound?
+1 on that video being top notch

I'd put my penny on a portfolio.
Thanks for posting this Jerome, and for everyone's comments. I wanted to respond yesterday but I was actually at the letterpress printer all day working on this project. I'm very excited about it and my new adventure into publishing. More details will be provided soon.
It's interesting how this all evolved like Dan says. I have been planning for, and working on this for a long time now, and I'm really pleased that it's finally at the point where I can make some announcements. I'm grateful to you all because part of what motivated me is the enthusiasm you've shown for the projects I've worked on. So thank you.
Cheers,
Paul
I signed up, nice website.

Hey Paul just curious with the new company is there still small productions or are you planning to do bigger productions? Also will original buyers still get first right of refusal for their letter?
I signed up as well; might as well just hand over my dough now to get an EOTD matching print! Pretty sweet Paul, congrats.

Hi Josh. If I'm understanding your question, yes I will be publishing higher limitation runs on a numbered edition, but still fairly limited in the whole scheme of things. As to your other question, after some discussion on this point, previous custom bound owners will have right of first refusal on the same letter for this publication.
Thanks George. This is way more than just a print though. Details will follow soon. I'm just finalizing some things. Although Frank, Heath and Dan are on track. ;-)
Good luck!
You're killing me Paul! Lol.
Congrats on this newest venture and can't wait to see what you will conjure up!
Sounds like an exciting and rewarding opportunity. Good luck!
Best of luck Paul! I hope it continues to be an enjoyable experience. I have confidence that anything you create is going to be amazing

THE EYES OF THE DRAGON ART PORTFOLIO
FEATURING ILLUSTRATIONS BY
David Palladini
FROM THE NOVEL BY
Stephen King
We are excited to announce the publication of
The Eyes of the Dragon Art Portfolio.
The Eyes of the Dragon is a novel by Stephen King that was first published in a 1984 limited edition via King’s personal imprint, Philtrum Press, and in a trade edition by Viking in 1987. Originally written for his daughter Naomi, the book is a work of fantasy.
Artist David Palladini was commissioned to create a series of new illustrations for the trade edition. Mr. Palladini created twenty-four original illustrations that were rendered in pencil and ink on Bienfang velour paper.
This is the first official art portfolio to be published featuring the illustrations from the Viking trade edition of The Eyes of the Dragon. It also marks the 30th anniversary of the original Viking publication of the book.
ABOUT THE EDITION
The portfolio is published in two editions, both of which are signed by David Palladini: a numbered edition of three hundred copies and a lettered edition of twenty-six copies.
Both editions include twenty-two black & white illustrations and two color illustrations. An afterword written exclusively for this edition by David Palladini is included in both editions. A previously unpublished drawing and a reproduction of the only extant copy of the Viking Title page illustration, hand-colored by David Palladini, are included in both editions.
The text has been set in Waters Titling and Warnock Pro typefaces and letterpress printed from photopolymer plates by Norman Clayton of Classic Letterpress in Ojai, California on his 18” x 23” Heidelberg Cylinder press. The text pages are printed on 100% cotton paper which has the feel of fabric. The papers used in these editions are environmentally responsible and acid free.
NUMBERED EDITION
The numbered portfolio measures 10” x 15½”. The illustrations are printed on Mohawk Superfine and are housed in a clamshell box of Italian book cloth over archival boards. Publication price: $295.
LETTERED EDITION
The lettered portfolio measures 12” x 18”. The illustrations are printed on 100% cotton paper. The portfolio is accompanied by a photogravure print that is numbered and signed by the artist. The photogravure was made by Jon Goodman at his studio in Florence, Massachusetts. The print has been hand-pulled on Somerset Velvet 100% cotton mould made paper from St. Cuthbert’s Mill, England by Jon Goodman. Each print has been embossed with the printer’s mark. The illustrations are housed in a clamshell box of Japanese book cloth over archival boards. Publication price: $795.
Publication will coincide with the release of the movie adaptation of Stephen King’s best-selling epic, The Dark Tower. Two characters from The Eyes of the Dragon have a brief cameo appearance in The Drawing of the Three, the second book in the Dark Tower series, and the novel is set in the Kingdom of Delain, a location that is mentioned in the Dark Tower series a number of times.
The portfolio will be available for pre-order in March 2017.
Publication is scheduled for Summer 2017.
Gosh darn it, I don't think I can afford it.
