Rosko, I just sent you a PM.

Zurb, It's funny in the PM to Rosko I was telling him about your Mythology Good vs Evil piece that your pic made me fall in love with it. I had the gallery I use track a canvas one down and add it to my layaway "queue" as I call it. Someday I will physically have it...

Good move. I really love this piece. I've had it for a while now and every time I look at it I still find things I didn't notice before.

It's just stunning. Here are a few pics of mine:





WOW... I actually have that Ross Marvel Universe giclee, the Ross X-Men #1 giclee, ordered the Ross Avengers giclee piece ummm now looking to get the Superman, Wonder Woman , O7 piece and oh yeah the Dave Co ckrum piece by Ross. Ok no more pictures, bc I really like that Good vs Evil piece.

Ok, So I was able to get the Printers Proof Giclee on Paper from James (HFA), so I will post a pic when I get it. I am still actively searching for the canvas piece, so if you guys hear or see anything let me know. God this "little" hobby is expensive

looks like I am selling some of my Bowen things.

Here's a picture of my 'paper' version. I like how it was placed into a black frame.

I have the paper version, too, and it's one of my favorite pieces in my whole collection. Completely worth the money, IMHO.

I personally think the colors "jump" off the canvas better. It looks richer. That is my opinion though. The paper giclee is still awesome though. I figure I could always trade or sell it if I find the canvas piece.

Canvas image is slightly bigger. Like Rosko said, it's a more vibrant image. It looks more like a real painting than a print on paper. Definitely worth the extra $$$ Also, the canvas is more durable, it's not subject to some of the problems that can come with paper.

I would have gladly paid the $$$ that it cost for the canvas when they first came out, but now the price difference is such that I can't afford it. I've heard that the visual difference between the giclee and the canvas is noticable, but since I've never actually seen the canvas in-person, I'm still completely thrilled with the giclee.
