I've been out of the loop for several months, but I'm back now and I'm in for this one as well.

The EO thread is locked, so I'll take this space here to say thanks to the Committee for all their hard work on that piece. It's in a place of pride in my game room and something I enjoy more every time I look at it

Your interest in the print does not commit you to buy.  A photo of the art will be shown on this thread along with a cost projection for everyone to decide whether they are in or out, just like the last project.

Any monster from the early days of D&D, or AD&D would be good with me.

As suggested above.
Perhaps a Dragon, an Owlbear, or maybe a rampaging boar crashing through the brush trying to gore some adventurers, or a pack of wolves trying to bring a horse down in a winter scene.

Lots of things could be done.
I trust the artist along with the committee's input to come up with something awesome.

"or a pack of wolves trying to bring a horse down in a winter scene"  let's not waste Mr. Easely's talents on a Western themed painting.  The painting I'm sure will have some sort of monster in it.

I should hope so.  A lot of his pieces are very "dragon-centric".  I love the idea of a dragon guarding a horde of treasure that includes a gem-incrusted chest with the word "Acaeum" on it.  

Love that idea.  Now add one lone thief that looks a lot like Frank M. into the scene and now you're talking.  OR the thief could look like Lucyjoyce then we would have a scantly clad female in the scene.

If there's any room for a longtime lurker, new poster, I'd love to be in

Any NEW news guys?

Finalizing the contract.  Not much else.  

These are not the droids you are looking for.  Move along.

been busy and just saw this, but please add me to the wait list.  :-)  I realize I'm not a big poster, but I'm a long time lurker, D&D collector, and player.


thanks,
kevin

First, an apology that the thread has not been updated sooner.  From this point on I will post updates at least once a month.

Jeff has signed the contract, and we hope to have a thumbnail sketch in the next two months.  That said, much will depend on Jeff's schedule.

We've heard from all the members who bought the EO Print except SleepyCO.  Could you please let us know (If someone knows SleepyCO please give him a shout) if you'd like your spot reserved for the Easley print?

Formcritic, I wanted to make sure of your commitment (page 5 of this thread) and that you're "in."

The waiting list has three members.  As noted our introductory post, preference will be given to long-term members/frequent contributors.  

The list is below.

All my best,

Paul

I was just thinking about this today.  I know these things take time, and given the primo product delivered last year, I will be patient.  But just a little bit thrilled.  Thanks for doing all the ground work for us.
