Art behind glass: Show off your framed art!

Great collection and well worth the time and effort to have them up and displayed like that. You must ge a lot more enjoyment out of them rather than having them sat in portfolios.

 

That is the point - I'm trying not to have stuff in my portfolio although I have a few. I'm trying to dispose of my non vital art and keep the frameworthy ones. Slowly evolving my collecting habits to "go for gold". Thanks for the kind comments.

I just upgraded all my framed art to non-glare glass. It was a chore because I manually did it myself - didn't trust having them all out of my possession at once.

 

These are night shots so quality is not good. If you want better quality check my CAF page here: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=66134

 

I'd also accept suggestions on how to arrange or order them. I will label pics clockwise starting from upper left.

Another view,not sure why I took so many pictures. If you see light, that is unavoidable because it's night and of the angle. But at least I don't see reflections anymore. This glass is really good.

The highest part of my room because without them our hobby would not be possible - signatures of Siegel, Shuster, Bob Kane in one page - also has Jerry Robinson, Joe Kubert, Jerry DeFuccio and Jerry Robinson

Signatures above door, Kane Action 45th Anniversary Cover, Neal Adams Batman Illustrated Splash, Mike Decarlo Legion 38 commission, Rubinstein X-Men Commission, Perez Infinite Crisis 7 Cover, Ordway Man of Steel TPB Cover

 

There you go -- hope you enjoyed and let me know if you want a closeup of anything here but you can probably find it in my CAF page anyway.

 

One more corner in the room I forgot to take a picture of! These are the oversized frames:

The DC Comics Guide To Digitally Drawing Comics by Freddie Williams, JLA 147 Cover Reimagination by original series inker Frank McLaughlin

 

Since it was a process drawing, Freddie did the pencils and inks on separate board. He also sent me the file with digital colors - the problem being I could only fit his art in an old frame of mine that used to house a double page splash that I have since moved. Maybe someday I will make a new frame with the two original pieces and the print with the digital colors - all in the same size. We will see about that.

 

 

The Batman painting, with Bats in front of a gravestone, is really good. (thumbs u

 

Thank you and one of my favorites here for sure.

I couldn't make out the bottom right cover so I checked your CAF and it's Bolland Camelot 3000! Wow!

 

I don't mean to offend you but pic quality isn't too good. Would love to see more high res-pics of your collection. I also see that you have a Crisis cover. I'd love to see a pic of that framed.

 

I think you can tell from my collection that I'm more of a DC guy and not Marvel so I'd love to see more of your DC stuff!

Great room Congratulations. Do you have a wider shot showing everything together?

 

Here you go, going clockwise:

There you go. It's actually a 360 degree view and this area is actually my bedroom. If you look at one of the pics there are two blank spaces above one of the doors. I have two pieces coming in, hopefully this week. And I have the frames ready so I just have to do it myself and I will be posting an update soon.
