<\/p> $\"\"$ <\/a>Here\u2019s my new illustration for Stephen King\u2019s \u2018SALEM\u2019S LOT. It\u2019ll be featured in the forthcoming massive art book KNOWING DARKNESS: ARTISTS INSPIRED BY STEPHEN KING<\/a>. \u2018SALEM\u2019S LOT is one of the seminal vampire novels of the modern era, and a book this famous comes \u201cpre-loaded\u201d in the audience\u2019s imagination with a lot of vampire visual tropes. I wanted to avoid those because we\u2019ve seen them enough. It seems to me the book is much more than just a vampire novel. So no fangs or blood spatters here. Instead, my picture is simply about a house and a small, mundane town. \n

As for the book itself, it\u2019s gonna be an amazing volume. Contributing artists include Michael Whelan, Bob Eggleton, Bernie Wrightson, Don Maitz, Les Edwards, Drew Struzan, David Ho, Douglas Smith, and a ton of others. Essentially, this will contain the vast majority of King book cover art ever produced, as well as new works created especially for this edition. Centipede Press<\/a> is the publisher, and if you remember the jaw-dropping LOVECRAFT art book<\/a> they released last year, then you know the production values are gonna be gorgeous for this book. They\u2019re taking pre-orders<\/a> right now. It\u2019s a limited edition, so definitely check it out! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
