I realized the other day that I've never really showed off our Alex Ross collection. While I realize that people are either in love with Ross or hate his work, you can see that my BF and I fall into the 'love it' category. So, I would like to share our really awesome collection (at least the stuff we've gotten framed. There's soooo much more beyond what's shown here. Literally tons and tons of stuff).
So, here we go! Sorry for the pic quality. I suffer from shaky hands, and the cam app that accounts for that sucks on a zoom.
Original Seven -- A grail piece for the BF.
Legion of Super-Heroes -- the other grail piece, as I am a Legion fan, and the BF is a Mike Grell fan, and those are the costumes that Ross uses in this piece.
This is easily the most valuable piece in our collection. The production proof for a cover of JSA; the image was cropped to cut away the cape for the cover. However, the original art was damaged beyond repair upon transit back to Ross, so there may be as few as two other proofs in the world, or this could very well be the only one, as most proofs are destroyed after color corrections.
X-Men and Namor lithographs, signed by Ross. The smaller piece is a pencil sketch of Superman done by Ross.
Bedroom - Wall One
Bedroom - Wall Two
Bedroom - Wall Three
Various refrigerator magnets that the BF has found here and there.
And, to make sure that there's Ross in every room in the house, this picture of Aquaman, from a piece done for Lee's Comics, resides on our bathroom wall.
Like I said, though, there's sooo much more waiting to be framed and for us to have a bigger place with the wall space to display it.
