Glimmer Graphics has just made an agreement with Ray Bradbury to sign the first 50 copies of our
upcoming limited edition Giclée by fantasy artist Tomislav Tikulin from Croatia. These will be offered to
our regular customers first, and if any are left they will be offered on a first come basis. I have already started to
receive requests for these, so let me know soon if you are interested. More information here -
http://www.glimmergraphicsprints.com/TomislavTikulin.html
Regular customers will be notified and given time to decide if they want the two signature edition.
I have also been getting some older work up on the site as time allows.
I have just posted the Arthur Suydam print we did in 1990 of his beautiful painting Mammoth.
As you know Arthur is the artist who has made Zombies come alive over at Marvel
There is now a Stephen King page for the two related projects we did based on his work.

I woke up a few weeks ago with all this New Year energy, and the first thing I set about doing was to get one
of the works by Barry Windsor-Smith that we have planned on publishing into production. Thanks to
Barry and Alex Bialy for being so patient and helping me fine tune POETRY. I am now accepting advance
orders on this, and you can make installment payments as well. Release date for this is March 15th, 2010.
Order here - http://www.glimmergraphicsprints.com/Poetry.html

There have been several very nice postings regarding the new "A Game of Thrones" print by Jeffrey Jones,
and I wanted to thanks those involved in print for supporting Jeff and myself in this endeavor.
The first one I saw was on The Golden Age site -
http://goldenagecomicbookstories.blogspot.com/2009/12/jeffrey-jones-game-of-throne-print-is.html
If you are into comic art or illustration art of any kind, this in the site to check every day. They must have people
working around the clock posting all the beautiful work you see on there.
The second post I saw was sent to me by Arnie Fenner, one of the designers on all those great Underwood
Art Books. Arnie & his wife Cathy put out the amazing collection known as Spectrum every year -

The third mention was sent to me by Jeffrey Jones, and the person running this web site has mentioned my
prints previously, and I'd like to thank him again for the support -

Today I added several pages devoted to Phil Hale, including one for The Insomnia Portfolio which I
published in 1996. I had written to Phil asking about possibly doing a print, and he sent me a packet of photos.
On the backs of several he had written 'Stephen King - Insomnia'. I was curious about these so I set them
aside and set about working on the print, which was "Jerry Lee", published in 1995. In the mean time I put
together a project that turned into the Insomnia Portfolio. I wrote to Stephen King asking if he would sign
the edition, and his secretary wrote back saying he would. I then contacted Phil and told him what I'd like to do,
and that King would be involved.
When doing a portfolio of art that has already been published as illustrations for a book, it's always nice to be
able to offer something new and exclusive to the project. I asked Phil if he would do a new painting for the
portfolio, and he said he would. It took him longer than either of us had anticipated, and put the project off
schedule, but it was an amazing painting, probably the best of the package, and well worth the wait. Prior to
getting it, I asked Phil if he had done any art for the book that had not been used. Since I was running late I
wanted to add something to the package that had not been advertised, as a bonus. There was a different
version of the cover, and I added that to the package. There are two other things that make the portfolio art
different. The color piece used on the portfolio jacket was printed in black & white in the book, and there was
another painting that had been printed upside down in the book.
There are 400 of the regular signed & numbered edition that come in a black linen folder. There were also 10
done with red folders that came with an original drawing done by Phil.
I am sold out of this, but I believe Robert Weiner of Donald Grant Books may have copies for sale.

Robert has also published several books of Phil's amazing artwork that may still be available.

At this time I can announce I have released the Jeffrey Jones print, "A Game of Thrones". After
producing offset lithographic prints for years, and having wonderful people produce things for me, I literally
had to start from scratch to get this print out. All of those companies I did business with before are gone.
Almost everything is now digital.
The hold up on this print was the presentation folder. I designed the folder, and then visited several people
who do die cutting and stamping to get quotes and samples. To make a long story short I found the right
person, and they did a wonderful job.
The company doing the Giclée printing for me does exceptional work, and it is some of the best reproduction I
have seen. I have several other pieces by Jeffrey planned for the near future.
Please go to the contact page and email me with any questions. Thank you to everyone who ordered this print.
I couldn't do these projects without your support. Thanks also to Jeffrey Jones for allowing me to present
her work. It is an honor to be able to publish these amazing pieces.
