  1. Another great Board Game Night with @neonbubble and partners.

    A lovely, nostalgic return to a game I quite possibly haven't played for 44+ years: Dark Tower.

    Ah - the whirl of the engine, the sight of never ending brigands and the bazaar music that makes you want to shimmy.

  6. THE DARK TOWER: MORDRED (2003)
    Oil on Panel - 28” x 18”

    Painted for the most part during cold winter nights in Connecticut. I had no trouble visualizing the bitter chill of a frosty snow covered landscape...I just had to step outside for inspiration. 1/4

  10. Finally set up our Dark Tower board game and played it with my wife, each of us playing as two people to test how long a 4-person game would last in preparation for taking it around to friends next week. Lots of nostalgic fun although a very random game with not much in the way of strategy you might expect from more modern games. Great for something made in 1981, though.

  19. I’m currently trying to read the first #darktower by #stephenking. By “trying,” I mean I keep forgetting to pick it up and wondering why it reads like a 20-year-old trying to be edgy. Then I realize it actually was written by a twenty-something King.
    In the foreword, King himself even warns the reader that this isn’t something he would write the same way today.
    So now I’m wondering whether I should just skip to another Dark Tower book or switch to a completely different King novel.

  36. TRIPOD WALKER (2016)
    
Acrylic on Watercolor Paper - 19" x 13"



    Painted on the back of a misprinted Dark Tower image I was using as a mixing palette of mostly white, yellow ocher, and raw umber. The print is on such a fine grade of heavyweight watercolor paper that I was loathe to throw it away. 1/3

  44. @Starcade

    I ❤️ the #DarkTower (2017).

    It's one of those sci-fi or fantasy based films, in which a kid or younger person is cast as a hero or cohort, that just appeals to me, much like:

    #EndersGame (2013)
    #TheLastAirBender (2011)
    #SorcerersApprentice (2010)
    #BulletProofMonk (2003)
    #TheForbiddenKingdom (2008)

    None of which are great movies from a film making POV but are movies that I find very entertaining nonetheless.

  48. THE GUNSLINGER: THE SLOW MUTANTS (1981)
    Acrylic on Watercolor Board - 20” x 15”

    I took up the challenge of illustrating this scene illuminated solely by the flash of a gunshot. In so many ways, it was the shot that set the stage for Roland’s epic journey to the Dark Tower. 1/3
