Jimjimmyjones85 - when did you see th "ALL GUTS NO SHIELDS" print at Acme's site? I've been looking for that for a year on the secondary market and have had no luck! I checked today and did'nt see it.

That print was only available at one of the SW Celebrations or through sws.com's site. It has never been available on Acme's.
 
Saw these at Acme's sight and personally I wish I could add them to go with my Wartime Propaganda piece from CE :

These new ones from Acme look good.

I love this one !
How much and where buy it ? :monkey5
 
Failure will not be tolerated is awesome - I want to get one and hang it up at work.:lol
 
The empire for all is sweet I was looking at it during SDCC.

The one I am really waiting for is a Vader piece that Vanderselt did and was at his booth.
 
I framed a couple of pieced today using frames I got from americanframe.com. They worked pretty well and it was way cheaper than having it done at someplace like Michaels. They're both over 3 feet wide so they look pretty impressive in person.

The first is a set of five 7 x 7 drawings by Otis Frampton.

Second is the Jabba's Palace print by Dave Dorman. He did a remarque of C-3PO on it for me. The colors are a little off on this picture since I kept getting reflections when using the flash, but you get the idea.

which one is that??? I'm gonna get the Old Ben from Acme Direct and would love a matching Vader to go with him.

It was Vader on Tantive V with Lightsaber lit pointing down with if I remember right Stormtroopers and dead rebels. It was a cool piece and is basically the matching piece to the Obi thats Acme has now. No guarantee it will be made but Jerry did it and had it on display at SDCC. I wish I had taken a picture. I have looked and cant find it on the web. If I hear any more about it I will let you know.

Where did you get this?
No I am not following you either, although I wanted your Jabba set also
 
Those are all original drawings by Otis Frampton done during his 7-7 Sundays promotion. Basically you make a ustream account and show up in his chat room on Sunday night for a chance to get a 7 x 7 commission like this done for $7. If you get one you can watch him draw it online. He does it most every Sunday.
 
Just bought a small Ralph McQuarrie signed lithograph for $45-ish shipped in a frame. Frame is ugly, but it's still cool to have a signed McQuarrie. It's the X-Wing and TIEs in the Death Star trench - number 250/1000.
 
I got mine directly through Dorman via his ebay name (although he's not selling any of his prints right at the moment). HOWEVER, I must caution you that a lot of people on Rebelscum have had trouble with him. He's a great artist, but he seems pretty flakey when it comes to actually delivering things that people have bought. See this thread on Rebelscum.

I made my ebay purchase of this print because it was an amazingly good deal, but I was prepared to file a claim with paypal, as several people on Rebelscum had to do. For whatever reason, he didn't give me any problems, but I would be cautious about giving him money if you don't have something like ebay or paypal to back you up.

You can of course get these from third parties from time to time. It's not really a rare print.
 
I have four signed and remarqued prints from Dorman, plus a book or two from him. He was never friendly to me despite my repeated business and support of his work, but he was friendly to my girlfriend and also my mother on a couple of occasions. Go figure.

I love his art, but as its been stated many times before - he is desperate for quick cash and since he has a seemingly unlimited supply of artist proofs, he is devaluing his own work by selling the dog crap out of it on eBay.
 
I had the VanderStelt Obi print show up yesterday. Now I need to figure out a mat color scheme.

I came up with this playing online.
