Hibou Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Received a pm regarding the frames I used on the raw books I posted some time back and they're called Comic Book Showcase from BCW: http://www.bcwsupplies.com/products/comic-book-showcase.htm Also I've realized how much I've added because of this place and now I've run out of wall space! My work in progress room is still that... Awesome!! I see you have the X-Men #4 displayed on your comic wall (thumbs u Sure do! (thumbs u That book is very underrated in my opinion... 2nd Magneto, 1st Brotherhood of Evil Mutants... 1st SCARLET WITCH! Woo-Hoo! And thank you everyone for all the kind remarks! The boards here are awesome... (and dangerous too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senormac Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 . The safe is more of a theft deterrent, just in case. If the thief is able to get this monstrosity out of my house and into a car they deserve its contents I totally agree Nelson. The main purpose of a safe is to stall / prohibit a stupid housebreaker from making off with your books. Fire protection might best come in the form of "good insurance" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny G Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 Hello all, It has been some time since I have posted pics in here. My "comic room" has basically turned into "comic house" now that I am a free spirit! I can let my geek flag fly high! So, I have posted some pics for you to check out. My main reason for posting is so that I can look and be disgusted at the "mess". It will then give me the kick in the pants I need to get organized!!! So, without further delay; I present "Johnny G's Spot!" Here's a pic of a couple of items I have in my entrance way. You'll notice the top shelf has a "Gator" theme... I am a Florida Gators fan. I have my Man-Thing sculpture along with a couple of alligator heads. There's a Florida Gator golf ball in front of the Man-Thing sculpture Over the sink we have the John Constantine sculpture "tending bar". Next, we have a view to the left when coming in. I've got my makeshift "work space" which is actually somewhat clean! The folding tables are great! When company comes, I just fold them up, put the books away and voila! I have a clean and organized living room! A couple of Neal Adams pieces are what make this shot Looking back to the left when in a little further. Here I have a little corner dedicated to some OA. Nothing "spectacular", but pieces that I really like! I just added the Northwest Native Art. I came across about 5 pieces this last week. I was actually quite surprised when learned of their value! All good with me. I need to get the other 4 framed. Here's the view from the doorway entering my dedicated "comic room". The usual stuff one would find in a comic room! Once I get it organized, I'll be able to work in here instead of the living room... one day! Here's a couple of Ernie Chan pieces... notice the alligator? I think it is a beautiful piece with a ton of detail! The other page is from Spawn #155 Philip Tan. I thought it was really cool and "disturbing". If you read the issue, you'll see what I mean! Great stuff... Here's the left side of "the mess". A few dvds and some cool sculptures. Including an artists' proof of Marv. I'd have to say it is one of my favorites And, here's the right side of the mess and work area. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have my white boards! I use the one on my fridge CONSTANTLY! Without them, I'd be lost! Left Side... Archie Zombie Action!!! Right side... Here we are in the "overflow room". I just love these shelves! It worked out perfectly by accommodating the TV! The caricature was done for me while in a rehab hospital for physio on my replaced hip. It is supposed to be of my dad and I. "The Comic Guys" refers to the two of us (thumbs u More overflow... And, you guessed it, OVERFLOW!!! Here's a pic of my "Quiet Corner" And lastly, here's a picture of some books at the smaller of my storage units... I would LOVE to get rid of the storage units and their associated costs! Like my friend Ray (Crows) has been telling me; they just decrease the overall value every year because I am paying $1000's in storage fees! So, I hope to have many, many sales this coming year! Time to thin the herd drastically!!! So, there you have it! I hope to have some new and improved pics in the coming months I really, really need to get organized! I just moved in here not too long ago, well, going on 3 years now!!! Where oh where does the time go??? I guess I can't use that excuse anymore Thanks for looking! Keep the great pics coming everyone. It's nice to see how others have their spaces set-up. John (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny G Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 Thanks folks! It's been a work in progress. I hope to get organized and be able to start having some serious sales. It seems every time I start a sales thread, I get pummeled with PM's and am then off to take care of those and the thread gets neglected! However, the end result is always achieved... I sell books! Getting lucky... I have no problem in that regard! The chicks dig "big" collections I am thinking of moving my bed into the smaller room and using the master as the main room. I'd be able to set up about 6 or 7 shelving units which hold 30 boxes each. Plus, where the tv/dresser are, I'd be able to put about 20 - 25 "drawer boxes" in that space. I am currently off work due to health reasons, so I may be able to get it going. I need help with the organizing and my "comic pals" don't seem to want to help! Even with the offer of free comics!!! Oh well, I guess it'll take a while, but they aren't going anywhere One goal is to get rid of the smaller storage unit pictured. I figure I may be able to transfer them into the drawer boxes and maybe one shelving unit. It's a LOT of work, but work that is for the most part, FUN! I also plan to have many sales, so be sure to keep an eye open! I have a solid mix of genres, ages and grades. So there really is something for everyone! Again, thanks folks! Keep the thread alive with more pics and suggestions... John (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
