John 04-05-2018 12:42 PMRandall FlaggOh, and Bill, here's another piece (tease) that arrived today. Still call me slow?
http://www.thedarktower.org/custom/i...10_20_2017.JPG 04-05-2018 12:56 PMPatrickLooking forward to seeing that portrait. 04-05-2018 01:02 PMRandall FlaggJust a little background info.On 10/20/201710/6/2017, Stephen and Owen King did the last stop on the "Sleeping Beauties" tour at a library in Sarasota Florida. We invited Don Maitz to meet a group of us for drinks and food prior to the event, and a member was kind enough to comp Maitz a ticket. Don sat right behind me, and during the Q&A and reading was working on a sketch pad. He knocked out the watercolor image in literally minutes.
After the event, Maitz showed me the piece, and I begged him to consider donating it for our fundraiser. He said he'd think about it.
Not only did Maitz donate the piece, but he was able to get Stephen King to sign it! 04-05-2018 01:07 PMPatrick^ My respect for Mr. Maitz continues to grow! 04-05-2018 01:07 PMRandall FlaggThere are actually quite a few "rare" King items out there, but I wonder how many original portraits of himself (not a print, giclee etc.) that Stephen King has actually signed? 04-05-2018 01:15 PMC1TIZEN_X 04-05-2018 01:33 PMMerlin1958
You gotta admit, me kicking you in the ass did help motivate you didn't it? lol lol
Wow!!!! Don, contributed some serious stuff again!!!! Over the years he has been a great supporter of the cause!!! I'm actually going to miss his fantastically unique works in the future!!! You rock, Mr. Maitz!!!!!! :rock::rock::rock:
Edit: LOL My "K" key is sticking!!!! lol I fixed this post, but I apologize for the mis-spellings involving a "K"!!! LOL 04-05-2018 01:37 PMRandall FlaggFYI, the event was on 10/6/2017, but Maitz dated the certificate 10/20/2017. I'm guessing Maitz did some minor touch-up after the event.
Enjoy:
