2000AD Original Art Thread

Deduction is an art.

Is that a wrist watch underneath your left hand, and if so, does that mean you're right-handed?

With the success of Buttonman's thread on what he ate on holiday there now seems to be a niche for "Through The Keyhole: SimeonB's Study/Office/Storage Facility"...

I am just off out to ride round the empty streets of London on my push bike with 20,000 other people. If I don't expire, I shall answer all of your lovely, interesting questions about this corner of my house...

It's a house you say? Hmmmm, it looks like 3 bedrooms from the jaunty angle of that lamp...

[Sideshow Bob]

Hmmmm.........
Yes, probably in the Stevenage area as well, I think.....
It's the quality of the sunlight that gives it away...

seeing as the new Slaine strip starts this week thought I would share this one with you - its a great piece that I always wanted to get framed - the only issue is the acetate only comes halfway down the page.  If it was framed I would lose the great scoll at the top

Wow - I absolutely love this page, and was hoping to snag it one day.  Glad to see the original.

I remember liking this so much that I painted my own version when I was 16. Here is my version (please excuse the terrible photograph, it was taken in 2006). Having not seen the real version of it since the 1990s only my version I now imagine it looking like my version

I'm assuming you can flip the acetate so that it's behind the paper instead of sitting on top (ISTR it's usually fastened by one edge to make a sort of 'hinge'). That being the case, you could sit a new sheet of acetate over the top and add a recreation of the scroll, giving you a frameable version without having to detach the original acetate.

I don't know if the letterer, Steve Potter, is still with us, but he seems to have fallen off the face of the planet and the font version of his hand lettering is lost to us. I've knocked up a passable imitation — if you want to PM me the physical dimensions of the scroll, I can either email you a printable file or post you a hard copy, which I'll trim down with a scalpel.



Cheers

Jim

Your right - I can flip the acetate so its behind the art

That is very kind of you to make up that scroll- I was going to do something similar but just never got round to it.  I'll head to my portfolio tonight and get the dimensions

Bloody good that, mate. You were 16 in 2006! Blimey

No, that was me looking back on my misspent youth! I was 16 back when this was originally published
