THE WHITE COMMANDS YOU by Michael Whelan, an interior illustration for The Dark Tower by Stephen King.

Oil on Panel - 28" x 18"

After Michael Whelan read the DARK TOWER VII manuscript and decided to illustrate this scene, he emailed Stephen King to tell him that he was taking artistic license and having Callahan stand on the table. The author not only gave his OK, but also changed the scene to fit the illustration.

THE GUNSLINGER FOLLOWED (2005) by Michael Whelan

Oil on Canvas - 25” x 40”

The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed. The second half of the first line in the first book. The 2 characters couldn’t be in the same painting because it’s not until they are out of the desert that they come within sight of each other, so he split the sentence into 2 paintings. Michael has said that this is the closest to what he thinks Roland looks like - dogged, grim, with an indomitable sense of mission.

THE GUNSLINGER: THE MAN IN BLACK (2005)

Oil on Canvas - 25" x 40"

The Man in Black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed. Ever since Michael Whelan read that first line of the first book, he was waiting for the opportunity to paint it. The overcolored sky has a hallucinatory quality which is evocative of the dreamlike feeling of the story. (Michael also confessed that he wore a similar robe for much of the time he was painting this scene.)
