New to OA

15 posts in this topic

I'm about to launch my OA collection soon as well. Collecting comics is wearing thin with me at the moment. I'm finding I would much rather read issues than collect them.

 

Also, the whole idea that OA is one of a kind entices me especially when you can snag a really sweet page.

I'm thinking I want to give it a try. There are a few moderns that I'm looking at, but... still on the edge smile.gif

 

Offhand, if you don't want to get into framing your pages, how do you go about storing your work?

I bought a 14x17 portfolio from Michael's last week and love it! I figured it would get too expensive to frame every piece, plus I'd eventually run out of wall space.

 

This is why I told my wife we needed a bigger house.... 27_laughing.gif
