mschmidt Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 That's a small sketch from fantasy artist Jeff Easley in the top right corner - I sent him a fan-letter when I was a teenager, and he sent me a sketch. Awesome! Any chance we can see a close-up picture of it? Sure - here you go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shootydog Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 After looking at these rooms I have determined that I am not a collector. I am a shadow pretending to be a collector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mschmidt Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 How long did it take you to organize your collection or have you kept it up from the start? I spent about a month rebagging & organizing things when we moved to our new house - I've never had a comic book room before, so it was actually kinda fun trying to figure out which kind of setup I wanted. Nowadays, I keep it pretty organized as a matter of habit - usually there are waiting-to-be-sorted books on the table & on top of the filing cabinets, though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidpg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I have some not-so-great pics of my setup at my place where I've been for a year and a half. It's a second floor, big 5 1/2 of a duplex though not quite as big as a house to one's self. I had to be a bit creative, and have a girlfriend who likes my stuff to get things to where I'm at (and happy). I've got my 3 comic armoirs beside each other along the inside wall of the dining room where they fit just perfectly. They are 6 feet high, 2 1/2 wide and 16 inches deep. The best stuff is organized in dividers (see open door pic), and the rest are arranged inside 2 rows deep...they hold A LOT of books, and hidden from view until you want to see them. On top is my sketch and original art collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thehumantorch Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Comic armoirs? Don't think I've ever heard that phrase before. Nice set up and guests can read comics during meals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidpg Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Very cool, love the wine decanters as well. (thumbs u Thanks. Wine is another one of our vices. BTW, the open armoir was the home to the Can.

BTW, the open armoir was the home to the Can. Ed. Ghost Rider #1 for quite a while. Yeah I'm going to keep that copy. Was ready to sell it if someone jumped on it but might as well hang on to that issue because I'll probably regret letting it go. Love wine myself, and hope to have a mini wine cellar in my home one day where I could play cards and smoke cigars in it, with a cool comic room right next to it. :cloud9: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warlord Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 I recently relocated most of my comicbooks to a new room!! I was in a split level office / loft arrangement (see below) Hey ComicDoc, where'd you get this shelving with wheels? ? All the units I see at Home Depot that are similar in construction just have straight legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
