Re: VEI Original Art Displays
That's an incredible collection you have. I love the Bloodshot and Hard Corps 0 preliminary and cover page.
Re: VEI Original Art Displays
I've only gotten a handful of my Valiant pages professionally framed, and due to an unfortunate lack of available wall space I've tried to keep them as compact as possible, so no impressive displays like DBS.

I like that floating frame look you've gone with for a bunch of these.

Re: VEI Original Art Displays
Part of me wishes that I had done this for all of these pieces; however, that would require a LOT of rework that I'm just not willing to do at this point lol.MGS wrote:I like that floating frame look you've gone with for a bunch of these.
Mike
But for some new pieces (especially delicate pieces that might be damaged otherwise) the floating effect is a very good option.
I first saw it in a restaurant my wife and I were visiting a while back, and it instantly made sense.

Re: VEI Original Art Displays
Sorry for the bad phone pix.
Here's what I have currently framed and on the wall.
I thoroughly enjoy viewing these every day.
I swap them out now and again or as I get in new pieces.
One of these days I'll have to get a few custom framed and include prelims etc.

Re: VEI Original Art Displays
Yup I have a few of those frames that I rotate stuff through as well. It always kills me when I get a piece that's not a standard size, and I'm left with no good way to display it.

These collections are sick.
And I'm sure Jesse's seen a real bunker or two.

Re: VEI Original Art Displays
With some luck, my intention is to use the pattern below. Basically, all my individually framed covers are the exact same size, and can be hung in pairs or groups of four with odd-shaped pieces placed between those groups.MGS wrote:Yes, I would love to see the giant windowless bunker you live in that allows you to put all of these up on the wall.nycjadie wrote:Love this thread.

Re: VEI Original Art Displays
Unpublished Bloodshot: Reborn original cover art by artist Brent Peeples
This piece is actually available (and affordable) for those looking to add a large framed red dot to their wall.
Shoot me a PM if interested, or if you just want to say "Hey, I kind of like that artwork!"
