When you get a published piece do you also like to own the printed material?

I wonder where he frames his stuff... That is a fabulous job

 

He said he gets it done at a local mom and pop type place (if I remember correctly) and that the staff loves to see the different art he brings in. I was in awe the first time I saw his stuff.

Thats awesome... I bet it's double the price where I live too

Yeah, I've talked to some people who don't frame their stuff specifically because they'd rather have that money to buy more art.

Well. early on I set one of my criteria for buying a piece is it has to be from a book I read. There is just too much good art out there and I was going after anything I thought looked good. So yes, I have the printed version of my originals(most of them anyway, rules are meant to be broken sometimes).

Most of my stuff is from a very limited area, but I've bought pages from books I haven't read just because they were in my area of interest. I then immediately went about buying the books. It's a vicious cycle...

Hi, the answer to your question depends on the art. Like some have said earlier, some of the newer art's color looks terrible, so I don't get my McKone F4 pages comic pages framed with the original art. But on some of the older art, I like to frame the page next to it. And at the least like to have the comic that it was published in.

here are some examples I framed myself, pretty cheap too, mylar d is the key

 

 

 

 

most double splash pages look amazing on their own and I don't frame them with the comic page, nor pages that are great splashes that look amazing on their own. Just depends on the image.

I too like to have the published page near the OA. Its neat to look at both and see what has changed etc etc.

 

When the art are in sleeves, I try to keep a copy of the published page in a mylite inside the sleeve.

 

If the art is framed, I frame it close by. I don't have a big frame that has both because I am cheap! A frame with all the square footage is expensive. I typically spend money on an archival frame for the OA, and a cheap frame for the page (who cares if it rots, I'll just stick another copy in there!

 

I still have not mastered embedding pics in here, but here is a link to my CAF showing OA framed with the published comic

 

And they Alan Moore books too so go have a look!
