garage art question??

[trb97]

I have a few drawings I have done that I'm planning on hanging in the garage when I'm done with the remodel. I'm concerned about moisture with the drawings. They are done on heavy stock paper... not canvas. I should probably just have have some color copies made but I'd rather not. Any input would be appreciated. Here are some pics of some of the drawings.

Those are awsome! I think that if you sprayed some clear lacquar on both sides it would last for some time. How much to commision a painting of my 2002 996TT Porsche?

Holy **** you got talent. How about lamenating?? Plastic sleeves?? Can you spray paint a clearcoat on them??

I'd think just a frame with plexiglass would be fine.

Show us more pics.

Whatever you do make sure any glue you use is ACID free or it will yellow over time.

Illustration artist here myself and Im familiar with portfolios and preserving work.

If you want to do the best thing I would take the originals to a high quality print shop and have them make nice prints of them.

Then you can mount those in nice frames.

Take the originals and store them.........

*oh and your artwork is fantastic!!!!!

Too nice not to be framed.

Huh?

You mean mount the originals?

Top quality prints will look as good as the originals and you wont have the fear of them falling off a wall and getting damaged.

Too nice not to be framed.

I rode to high school in a black '50 Ford like the one in your drawing....They all look great! Need one of my '39 Chevy sedan!

Any pics of your sedan wagonmaster?

I hope you're earning a living from your drawing, if not, you should be! Hell! You're good!

Very nice renderings, I would make copies of them onto something more rigid. Then lamenate or frame it for extra protect it from the elements. You could also get a few copies made up and staple it into the wall... and replace as necessary.

Have them mounted for archiving like museums can do. They are protected behind UV resistant glass and can be sealed. High end frame shops can do this. We have done this with irreplaceable family documents.

Impressive.. I agree, frame them.

Have them scanned for future reproduction and laminated for durability. Shouldn't cost much, especially considering the value should you decide to shop them around.

 

[wagonmaster]

Yep, I'll need to post one...How cool!

Absolutely love the shoebox Ford drawing! What a talent you have.

 

[trb97]

I love all early fifties cars but the shoebox Ford is a favorate of mine for sure. I hope to have one some day. I have thought of having prints made of that piece.
