Clyde is a pack rat. It is very difficult for him to part with things, especially some artwork. After eight years of marriage, I have managed to convince him to offer a few items from his treasure trove for sale. Believe me, it hasn't been easy to get him to part with anything from this stash. These items will be placed in a new section on the website called "Hidden Treasures." Many will be one of a kind, so if you're interested in any, act quickly or they may be gone. I will try to add a few more items each month, depending on my powers of persuasion.

Dragon Attack Sketch
©2007 Clyde Caldwell All Rights Reserved
Size: 8 1/2" x 11" on Tracing Paper
Medium: Pencil
Date: 1983
Publication: Unpublished Sketch for 'Dragon Attack' Painting
Price: $200.00
The original title for this sketch was 'Attack of the Golden Dragon'. The editor of Dragon Magazine wanted me to change the color of the dragon in the painting to black, so I changed the titled of the piece to 'Dragon Attack'. The painting was used as the cover for Dragon Magazine #72.
There is some yellowing from aging, and the tracing paper is taped to a backing board.
The Leopard Men of Darfar
©2007 Clyde Caldwell All Rights Reserved
Size: 8" x 10 7/8" on Tracing Paper
Medium: Prismacolor Pencil
Date: Early 1980's
Publication: Unpublished Sketch for 'The Leopard Men of Darfar' Painting
Price: $200.00
This sketch was done for a painting intended for the cover of The Savage Sword of Conan #92. I was paid for the painting, but it never saw print. I'm guessing that the original artwork was stolen, or at the very least, lost, since I never got it back from Marvel.
There is quite a bit of yellowing from aging, and the tracing paper is taped to a backing board. There is also a tracing paper overlay with the Savage Sword of Conan logo and type indication.

This item was done in my fanzine days in the mid-to-late 70's, so is around 30 years old! It features a scene from one of the Elric novels. Though I did the sketch for the publisher of CHACAL magazine, I never got around to doing the finished painting. This was my only attempt at illustrating Elric.
