Paradise' Original Art re-framing project + new additions

Post by paradise »

I recently re-framed some of my favorite pieces, and framed recently purchased stuff. I will update this thread periodically with more stuff as I reframe all my old 15 year old pieces and get new pieces.

Jim Calafiore commission I got on Ebay
Image

Quick piece buddy Joe Benitez did for me (still owes me a full detailed X-O, in the style of Weapon Zero)
Image

My newest piece from Stuart Sayger, one of the most amazing new artists in comics
Image

The most bizarre XO piece I own, an original color commission by Jim Mahfood (FOOD ONE) look him up, he's a sick artist
Image

Not original art, but one of my favorites, so I framed reg & gold (the only variant I actually have)
Image

Beautiful early Solar page I got off Kevin Van Hook
Image

Dan Jurgens Birthquake page. Love the storytelling on that page
Image

Not Valiant, but one of my favorite covers I own, by a good friend, Michael Broussard
Image

I will add more here soon. I have Bart Sears doing a "NEW XO vs OLD XO" Commission and Gabriel Hardman doing something too.

Personally I love Calafiore's style and here he did a great job.

I don't love his Aric, but that Spider-Alien is AMAZING, right?
