How to display oversized books-My Pretty Pony, SOD, Knowing Darkness

[biomieg]

Agreed. Personally I like the look of the guitar on the stand in a nice corner better but hanging it from the wall works equally well.

[Randall Flagg]

I do have the stand, it just takes up a fair amount of space even in a corner.

[sgc1999]

how much was it if you dont mind my asking? its a mint guitar.

[Randall Flagg]

Issue price was $3,498. Taylor sold out of them immediately. I bought it secondhand.

[herbertwest]

Shouldnt it move into the HOW TO subforum?

[Randall Flagg]

I don't think so. It's more of a discussion, not instruction. I am open to other opinions.

Does anyone have ANY suggestions on displaying the Stand S/L art portfolio and also the IT s/l art portfolio?

Dick was working on an interchangeable wall frame where each month, week, day you could just slide a different piece in no fuss no muss. I think the rest of the case/frams would hold the undisplayed art. I thought it was a pretty good idea. Email him and ask,

Thats a pretty cool idea. Would love to see end result from anyone who engages Dick to do something like this...

I was looking through my IT portfolio the other day and realised that some of the art seems to be on different quality (thickness) paper. I can't recall details of its release, but does that sound right to others? I think the colour pieces were on thicker paper than the rest.... I mention it as I was unsure if the thinner pieces would display as well (last as long, not discolour etc)

I'm too darn paranoid (and clumsy) to try to display large items like portfolios. I don't think I've even looked at the IT artwork yet, just pictures on the web. I put the artwork and large books on the shelf and just let them be.

I'm the same. I enjoy the fact that I have the portfolio, but to open it up and look at each piece when, as clumsy as I am, I have a very good chance of damaging it, I'd just rather not take the chance. I can enjoy the pictures on the web just as much.

Well, this just proves 100% the theory that great minds think alike. Case closed.

[Kingfan24]

im actually talking about how to display the actual portfolio itself not even the art

I am the exact opposite I suppose. In fact, the basis on my friendship with, Dick Olson, is that I wanted to be able to display my LOTR books. If you can't show them off, then what's the point? It became the impetus of the "Dolso Case Editions". I love to point and show them off, but that's just me I guess.

[Cloysterpete]

Books upto 14" will fit in the expedit - SOD is in there near bottom right.



Anything larger would have to go on the shelves, tons of space between the top shelf and ceiling.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I like the way your statues are displayed. I wish I had the room to do that.

[Brice]

I use a well lighted curio cabinet to display all of my oversized stuff.

[WeDealInLead]

Cloysterpete, we demand close ups! Start a collection thread if you don't already have one.

Lol I don't really have a vast amount of King books, mines more of a 'casual' collection, I'm more of a statue and comic book collector.

[biomieg]

I'd like to see it anyway.

I've got various random photos in my photobucket thing taken over the last few years that I can stick up, most are from when I still lived with my folks and had all my books just literally strewn all over the room, I could stick those up for now then when I've finished organising (next up is some more shelves - just small floating ones then I'm putting in another of those expedit units) the place properly I could take some more updated shots in a few months so you can see what it looks like a bit neater.

Nothing overly expensive and all budget shelving etc but hey you just do the best with what you've got right and try to make it look tidy.

[ur2ndbiggestfan]

I think the Hulk is mad because he lost a King auction on E-bay.

[at_one]

You can always get a very cool "Dolso" case and put it on top of the book shelf or a table:





Not oversized, but they can now be displayed at all times




Only slightly oversized, but hopefully you get the idea.







The guy is really freaking amazing!!!!

Any one have any info on that Salems Lot case? I would love that as an alternative to the Collector's traycase...

PM Dolso here on the site and he'll make you one I'm sure
