This show has a great cast and great potential. If they can break the story tighter this season, they could have something really special.

Ok, I found the write up about the Ohio meet up on CAF.  Somehow I missed the announcement.  Sounds like it could happen again next August, so I hope to attend that.

Where was the announcement for this? I'm a Premium Member, and I didn't see any email alert.

For pieces over say $1k, get the Super Acid Free boards. I prefer the thicker board due to the 13x19 size of the folio pages -- less flex. (You are using 13x19, right? )

And if the folio thing gets too unwieldy, switch to a buffered or MicroChamber gallery box.

This location was so easy to get to from Manhattan last time by bus/Uber/Lyft. Looking forward to it!

Dallas Fantasy Fair is next month.

The Wilds, Veep, The Boys, The Gilded Age, The Nevers, The After Party, Cruel Summer, Billions

I am having all art deliveries held for pickup by FedEx and UPS at the nearest location. It's the only way to keep the chain of custody intact, and keep the drivers out of the loop. Everything else is a dice roll because they just don't care about Signature Required.

A pillar of my comics reading in the late 80s-early 90s. This is very sad. Condolences to his family and friends.

I'm ready. Bring it on.

What's the largest-size original art for a published comics page or cover? No paintings.

If they come taped, do you remove/cut the tape?

My previous adventures with this-

Then, once I have the DPS stabilized, I put it in an 18x24 Itoya with a custom cut backing board. If it is over $1-2k, I put it in a mylar too.

Yeah, but what do they look like in B&W?

Not mine, but I always loved this cover-

I think going forward, the NFT will be the primary product for the digital artist and the monoprint will be the physical freebie thrown in.

And I'm not trying to start a whole thing about NFTs, but rather point out the above discussion is exactly the pain point NFTs are trying to solve in the digital art community... Just sub out the words contract, acknowledgement, COA, title, stamp, or watermark for NFT or blockchain contract and the traditional collecting community will have a better understanding of what these newfangled things are actually for.

The infuriating thing will be when the initial collector resells the piece and doesn't ship the freebie monoprint. Well, guess what... at that point he just owns a less-valuable "one of many" print. The NFT owner can ask the artist for permission to strike another monoprint from the source file on ipfs (and the new collector will likely pay for the printing, because why would the artist do so.) And that new monoprint could be 40 ft tall or whatever since it just belongs to the new collector. The NFT is the equivalent of a title to a car. And if you sell a car without a title (for example, if the first collector tried to sell the orphaned first monoprint), then the market doesn't see it as legitimate and prices it down accordingly.

Thanks for all the replies everyone! Nice to see some examples  

I really like @jaybuck43's pictures where the top edge is left alone and the other 3 edges are cropped to only show a sliver. 

But yeah, showing the whole board does have its charms.

These are some of the pieces I'm getting framed

I just picked up a Final Crisis cover also and am contemplating what to do regarding framing.  Seems it almost commands an overlay with the text, otherwise that's a lot of negative space.  You have any thoughts on what you're going to do?

I would contact @Phill the Governor and have him make an overlay with the sidebars. And then float frame them.

Content?! CONTENT?!

If they sign non-obtrusively in the margins, I don't see a problem.

you'd be able to clone your very own Frank Miller. 

There are places you can get this done for less than the cost of this cover. Does anyone want to go in with me on a DAO for this?

But also I very much realize it's a sickness.

Cheaper than therapy.

Ditko, Romita Sr, and McFarlane are a lock for obvious reasons. But I am making a nomination for Bagley in the modern era. Ultimate was a huge, unbroken run that brought in a whole generation of new readers.

Stumbled on this. First part is informative-
