Your New Pride and Joy!

I hope the t-shirt is a 2XL.
One of the shirts I have is a small that would fit a 12 year old.

[surly]

that's cool.
oh no wait becca, are you in the 'keep it in the shrink wrap' camp? uh oh I'm not sure we can be friends any more.

seriously though; I know this has been debated here endlessly but I have first hand experience with leaving the shrink wrap on too long and it didn't have a happy ending. it reacted with the dust jacket of my DT III somehow and ruined it. I was lucky enough to get a new jacket but never again.

in other news: I picked this up from the framer this weekend. here is the original art from the Doubleday edition of THE SHINING. I was trying to go for a classic look with a bit of a 70's vibe, so the framer recommended a gold frame with a bit of an olive cast and I quite like the way it turned out . framed, it's roughly 32" x 42", so it's pretty big and I needed to rearrange things to find a place to hang it. one of these days, I'll figure out how to take a decent photo:

Masterpiece!

Most people would likely shrug, but a King collector would likely kneel/genuflect (I would).

[surly]

haha. I offer a moment of silence every time I pass by it.
funny thing is that even the artist said it wasn't really that great and if it wasn't a Stephen King cover, no one would care. I'm paraphrasing but that was the idea.

[carlosdetweiller]

I think it looks fantastic. Congratulations!

[peripheral]

That looks incredible Jim. Love the framing, accentuates the "space" on the upper left side of the art - powerful.

And great Choo Choo Rick. A few members are getting their hands on these.

[Dan]

Very nice, congrats!

[zelig]

Congrats on the Choo Choo Rick.

And The Shining cover art is a showstopper. Congratulations again!

[jreitan47]

I would pay money just to see that in person. One of my favorite covers of a King novel, actually.

[tippy4]

Wow...that painting is something else. A very iconic image.

[Alec]

You should be delighted with the way it turned out.
It really is first class.
You would have to post something very special to overshadow this piece.
Kindest regards
Alec.

It's funny, I agree with this. I love it because it's long but should it not be on one of his most famous novel... I would probably pass it by. You should be honoured to have this. Love the frame job on this sooooo much. You knocked it out of the park my man!

Very Nice, that is an excellent piece to own and the framing is beautiful!

Haha, no, I take everything out of the shrink-wrap. That's the only photo I had taken (when it arrived). It's now in a Collector's slipcase, unwrapped.

Looks great BTW!

I think this is going to be a good week for me.....the first of three goodies I am expecting:

Love that remarque.

Nice book!! But that mailing envelope gives me the shudders. Was it really sent that way? I'm surprised there are not dinged corners.

[Ben Mears]

The Shining framing and artwork looks nice. Combined with the 'Salem's Lot original cover art you have two very unique and iconic items.

It was indeed, and arrived unscathed!

Very nice Tippy love the remarque. Shining cover art is awesome!!!!

[carlosdetweiller]

I may finally have something worthy of a "new pride and joy" coming in a few days. It's been a long time since I had one.

Getting me a big bag of Oreos for this one.

[Fsmdr]

I had better post my small P&J before Bob post his 'big one'.

Finally completed my dated signature set for my Firestarter S/L thanks to Betts (plus one to spare)

[Ari_Racing]

Very nice everyone! Great remarque, Rick! LOVE that set, Juliana!

And about the Shining artwork...I'm speechless. Congratulations everyone!
