A new hobby I have started

Post by Shawn »

I started framing some of the stuff I have from Queensryche and it's been neat seeing what I have put together.It is kind of expensive to frame. I'll keep the pictures as thumbnails to click and make bigger.

This is the first one I had done and didn't think about doing anymore for a few years after I done it. It's a limited numbered and autographed edition lithograph that was given to me.
Image

This is what got me started with the new hobby.I done the shadowbox with a pair of drumsticks used to record the album they released a few years back with their new lead singer.It came out well and Hobby Lobby,where I have everything framed,done a good job.
Image

The next few are ones I done and I have 1 being redone now adding a few things.
Image
Image
This next one is from my first concert seeing them.I am having some more things added to it when I get the items I am looking for.I just recently had it done.
Image

I am going to be doing another shadow box this year when they release the album they are working on now. They are in the recording stage now and I have ordered a pair of sticks from the drummer that are being used to record the album. The first release with the new lead singer was a breath of fresh air and brought the band back from the dead.The live shows are more energetic now.The guitar players don't stand in 1 spot the entire show and look bored,they are moving around and looking like they are playing their first show again and the new music is so much better then it has been for the past 15 years. It's like a new band with an old name. I will post more pictures as I do more projects. I did come across an interesting guitar pick that the bass player used. It has their logo on it but it isn't his signature or picture he drew on it. From what I am understanding on a few of these got out and I ended up with one from another fan.

That's very creative of you, Shawn!
What inspired you to framing if
you don't mind me asking??
They look great! I defi-
nitely should utilize
the talents I hav-
e to better th-
e area whe-
re I am r-
ight n-
ow.

:nod:

(though it's difficult for me to stay focused...)

:roll:

I
do h-
ave some
autographed c-
omic books that I wa-
s thinking of framing, thou-
gh I have a lot of organizing to d-
o before this can happen (which I'm in
the process of doing now). But my vacation
is over, so progress will be much less consistent.

(until the weekend... rather my weekend)

:lol:

I had done the Shadowbox with the drumsticks and was impressed so I had some stuff laying around needing framed.Then it became a habit of looking for stuff to frame from other people.Done some trading and buying a few things and the results were nice.
I am not going to be doing anymore projects until I get back to working again. I have to get healthy so I can get back to work if it is possible. Hoping this isn't the end and I am forced to stop working. Disability isn't what I want to go on and it'd be like putting 1 foot or maybe 2 in the grave. I am not one to sit and do nothing all day,but the past few weeks,sleep has been a problem as well. A few hours a night isn't good.

Understandable! Hopefully you
won't have to go for disabil-
ity, but if that's the only
option you can think o-
f that will work and
soon, then I hope
it works for yo-
u. Yes, you r-
eally need
good sle-
ep. I h-
ope
the pa-
in will allo-
w for a regula-
r night's rest for y-
ou. Please be careful.

I am working on another project.I have 2 others that I am kinda working on as well,but this one I am having framed this fall is going to be big in size. I found a boxset that had the pictures of each band member from the original line up with stencils of their logo and name. I have bought 2 guitar picks fairly cheap and working on buying the other one that is really hard to find for under $50.I am paying $54 but I have seen them go for $75-$100. Then have a lithograph I am buying from their online store that will be in the center of the framing with everything around it. The guitar picks will be next to their picture. I figure about $150 to have this one done so I am waiting until fall so I will have for sure have the money to get it done. I'll post pictures of it when finished.

It sounds interesting, Shawn! If
this turns out as well as yo-
ur previous project, I'm
sure this will be a g-
em as well! Hav-
e you consid-
ered selli-

:noclue:

(good luck with your project...)

I'd never sell them. Some stuff is just to hard to come by to resale. I have someone who selling me a few hard to get guitar picks from the early 90's for a really cheap price. If I were to sell one,I wouldn't get back what I have in them so it is strictly a hobby and when I have the extra money to get stuff.

I see what you mean, though you never
know. A fan of the art may think o-
therwise and could consider pa-
ying a lot for them since yo-
u can't find anything lik-
e your brand of art a-
nywhere which m-
akes them eve-
n more val-
uable!!

(just a theory...)

Yeah I can see that happen. I am working on one now that I think will be wanted by a few people I know. I have changed it up a little bit and just waiting on things to come in the mail so I can get it framed.It will be a costly framing job,but this one will be awesome. A lot of fans will be able to relate to it since it was the Album/song that brought the band to the mainstream back in 1991. Hard to believe I managed to find things for it after over 25 years of it's release. I will post a picture or 2 of it when it is complete. If I was offered the right amount of money I would probably sell it,but I'm takling at least $1000 since I will have a lot in this one,probably one of the more expensive ones I will do.

I can understand your pricing considering
how much you're putting into this o-
ne. And because it's easier to a-
dvertise online, you should
not have a problem ge-
tting that amount
or more. Goo-
d luck wit-
h this:

Thanks and I am already working on another one that is similar to this but won't be as good as far as I am seeing now. I am looking for items from 1994-1996 and it is not easy to do even with the internet. I do have a few go to people that I can get some items off of for a fair price if they are ready to let go of the items. One person has been a collector for over 25 years and he usually won't let go of anything unless it is a duplicate or I have something he wants and doesn't have and is a very rare find. I already done that one on him once and I have another item he didn't even know existed until I posted it.But I have plans for it already so I have to hang on to it.
I doubt I will ever sell any of the pieces I am working on.The market for the stuff is small since the band is not a huge act like ACDC or Metallica,but they are making a comeback with their new lead singer and with a new release due about September,it will be a make it or break it kind of thing for them. If the release hits it big on the charts,it might put them back in the spotlight that they haven't had since 1990-1992.

With the internet being as vast as it is, I
though everything could be found o-
nline, especially after learning
that a soul in a bottle was
on sale (laughs). Just k-
idding, but I hope y-
ou can find such
items from t-
he time fr-
ame th-
at y-
ou've p-
osted. I can
relate to not wa-
nting to release anyt-
hing being collected unle-
ss doubles or triples are avail-
able since I'm the same way (laug-
hs). Timing is everything, and this ma-
y be the item that sells well for you since
the return of Metallica would be it's own adve-
rtisement and promotion. Good luck with this proj-
ect of yours, Shawn and I cannot wait to see the results.
