Shopping on Black Friday can be rough.  Be careful out there and watch out for mutants.  A message from your friends at tumblr.michaelwhelan.com.

Stephen King got a chuckle out of this last year, but not many people saw the post in the midst of the holiday frenzy, so I thought I’d re-post it a few days earlier this year. Enjoy!

MISTY PATH (2002) by Michael Whelan

Acrylic on Panel - 24” x 18”

Based on an experience I had while hiking in a local park on a very foggy day. There was a path that runs through an overhanging mass of vines and other foliage near a lake, and I was the only person in the place, except for my infant son, who was napping in the carrier on my back. As I stood enthralled by the scene I saw this image in my mind’s eye.

THE GUNSLINGER: THE TEMPLE OF THE ORACLE (1982) by Michael Whelan

Acrylic on Illustration Board - 20" X 30"

In this double-page spread from THE DARK TOWER: THE GUNSLINGER, the hero has just taken Mescaline. Michael suggests the heightened awareness fed by the drug in the exaggerated texture of the rocks, the psychodelic greens of the foliage, and the skull face Roland sees in his reflection in the water.
