Here are a few of my framed pieces. I started out using fancy frames on some things, but realized that for most comic pages I like a very simple black metal frame with a white matte and black edging. I have also done black matte too but for whatever reason I really like the white matte. (shrug)

 

The Crow by James O'Barr. One of the earliest pieces of OA I ever bought -- I started collecting art in the very early 1990s. I bought some O'Barr Crow sketches, a couple Iron Man pages from John Romita Jr., and a painting from Dark One. My wife really liked this piece so we gave it a nice fancy frame -- I think the framing might have cost more than the art! lol

Avengers 3 page by Jack Kirby. Here's the plain white matte mentioned above. I think I like the white because it doesn't compete with the art for attention.

TOS 84 featuring Cap vs Super Adaptoid. I framed this with a copy of the page as printed in the comic as well as with the cover of a TOS 84. It's one of my favorite stories from childhood so I gussied up the presentation a bit.

Journey Into Mystery 125 splash. I thought about using a big fancy frame for this splash, but decided again that less was more. The images of Thor and the witch doctor just jump off the page. I wonder sometimes how it would look with a black matte. hm

Look if you don't want to proudly display your Fin Fang Foom page I will take it and frame it.

I've got more, but I've always cropped the frames out, so I'll see what I can do to get more pics up sometime.

I love the frame/matte work you had done with this piece! Really, really nice OA you have there.

Great stuff everyone! Mitch is finally finished with my piece and I should be getting it tomorrow or Friday. :wishluck:

 

I've been waiting since the 3rd weekend in November! :o

 

I spoke with Tony and Tina Dezuniga on the phone a couple of days ago and had him do a commission which I should have soon also!

O.K., these aren't pics of framed art, but for the art you just don't have room for this is a nice alternative.

 

And to give credit where credit is due, I have to give 100% to fellow collector Hart. He saw the first pic I'll post and pitied my sad sad primitive priority mail labels. So he made up the sweet labels you'll see in the following pic.

 

THANKX HART (worship)(worship)

Great cover ! :applause:

 

Now I need an advice : I plan on framing my upcoming Mouse Guard page but am not sure if I should have a white or black frame.

 

Your opinion folks ?
