Thanks Deuce. C L Moore was the only other S+S author I could find who used the No 3 opening. Perhaps because she was a keen reader and admirer of REH's yarns in Weird Tales? You've no doubt already read this Deuce but, speaking of C L Moore, there's part one of an excellent article on her and REH by Bobby Derie: Conan and Jirel: Robert E. Howard and C. L. Moore Part One by Bobby Derie onanunderwood5.blogspot.com/2019/02/conan-and-jirel-robert-e-howard-and-c-l.htmlIncludes a fabulous drawing of Shambleau drawn by C L Moore herself! (I got the link from DMR Books weekly roundup).

Okay, so I'm a sucker for books. So sue me. This sounds awesome. This was shared by Jess Terrell via the ERB CHAIN OF FRIENDSHIP LIST <ERBCOF-L@list.apsu.edu> email chain. This is in 'early days' and you can get in right now by supporting the Kickstarter project here. The deadline to support the project is Sat, April 20 2019, so don't wait too long!

From the Kickstarter page: This will be great when it's finished. It looks like they will be using the same technique that Kail here has been using combining famous illustrations with key extracts of prose and verse set to a sepia toned background. If they do it with the same care and attention to detail that Kail did then this will be a magnificent volume.

If they do it with the same care and attention to detail that Kail did then this will be a magnificent volume. Kail's stuff sounds interesting! This is the first I've heard of it. I'm hoping to compile some of my poetry into an ebook this year, depending on time, of course. I started a Barsoom painting which I wish to finish, have a request for a Tarzan and the Ant Men map painting, have a second Kadath painting I wish to do, four Barsoom novels to edit and prepare, and a continuation of my Tales of the Tomahawk to complete ( The Banshee of the Atacama). Shew, that sounds like a lot, and it is. I also have another Merritt article to write for the DMR blog, and now that I've joined the ERB-APA, I'll have steady, quarterly submissions to make to them. The first issue with one of my pieces is getting mailed this week, which is really exciting. But in order to publish my poetry after it's readied by editing and proofing, I wished to paint a cover, and have sort of quasi-selected the painting described in Nathaniel Hawthorne's Edward Randolph's Portrait to paint for my cover art. If it gets too difficult (which I can already easily see it doing) I'll have to select something else. I've searched high and low and have yet to come across an example where some artist painted this ridiculously chilling image. I'd love to do so. I believe it'd make a fitting cover for my macabre pieces! Thanks, Von! Always great to hear a comment from you.

You seem to be somewhat of a polymath Chris. I don't envy you that workload but I do envy you the ability to paint your own covers.

You seem to be somewhat of a polymath Chris. I don't envy you that workload but I do envy you the ability to paint your own covers. Polymath: <noun>; one who routinely takes on more they can physically accomplish because they hate to tell people no; one who hates deadlines, cant' set them, rarely meets them, but--when that dread moment arrives--jumps through hoops to the agreed upon date and/or time; one who consistently overestimates their abilities, or who frequently forgets how many hours are actually in a day; one who....I think you're on to something, there, Von! I guess I liked to be kept busy, creatively speaking. And I just like to paint. It was a couple of someone elses who suggested I paint my own covers and come out with a poetry book. I agreed to attempt it. Probably a complete waste of valuable time, as I don't see many wanting to sit and read my macabre poetry, but you never know. At least it'll flesh out my little online offerings a bit, right? And any excuse to paint is a good excuse for me. At any rate, most of this is my own self-imposed list of goals. No one is holding a .38 to my skull if I don't get it done, thankfully. And I'm pretty easy on myself if I can't accomplish my own goals. I just say, "Whatevs", and move on to something else! But when it comes to a promise made to another, I take those pretty darn seriously. Here's my Barsoom I'm tinkering on. This is a little practice canvas, which I do when I feel like I need to work out things I'm not sure of in my mind. I'll repaint this later and spend much more time on it, but I'm kind of digging the colors. I need to work on the valley some, but have been busy doing honey-dos lately (remodeling a room for my daughter). I've got to add the main figures in the foreground which will be on a hilltop, over looking the valley and the city, etc beyond. I plan to experiment with the moons a bit, and add more ships over the city. As soon as things slow down, I'll get back on it, then attempt the real one.
