Thought it was a great DT reference for us in the know.

You can see a picture of this painting on the floor of SK's office toward the back of my new book.

I remember freaking out in the movie theater! I was like "wow....thats the gunslinger!". My fiance looked at me as if I was crazy

[Mr Nobody]

I didn't get it, for the very good reason that I hadn't read any of the DT books before seeing the film. My immediate thought was 'Clint Eastwood, but not'.
What that painting did do, though, was make Roland easier to imagine when I did get round to reading The Gunslinger.

Any idea who painted that painting for the movie, or what happened to it?

[Moderator]

That was done by Drew Struzan. Steve has the original--it was a gift from Frank Darabont.

Thank you! I love that painting. All of us freaked out a bit when we saw that. I know I had a smile on my face from ear to ear when I first saw it. Thanks for the link, Ms. Mod, now I can really have a good look at it!
