Dishonored / Skyrim / Fallout Litho's

[rasmusvn]

Since there are no portfolios that big I keep them in large diameter tubes (>15 cm.).

Another expensive option would be to have a padded flight case built for them.

I have a large portfolio folder which costs a bit but it holds 30 odd lithographs..
keeps them straight and acid free..def worth it..I think Mortal from here got me on to it
I bought it off ebay, but none are around this is what you need


ITOYA ART Profolio 18 x 24 18x24 Storage Folder

Good luck

On another note, what do you guys do with your larger lithos? Keep them rolled up or frame them? Getting a frame made up for the Skyrim one won't be cheap.

I've found some large portfolios at a local art store -- essentially a large envelope made out of some type of plastic or vinyl or cloth (not a binder with pages). These come in sizes up to 36 in. by 48 in. -- which holds most of my art, but there are still a couple of very large pieces that won't fit.

What I do is buy two pieces of archival safe backer board to sandwich the art in between, with a layer of archival safe tissue paper-like material between each piece.

I would highly suggest this method; keeping your prints rolled is not good for them in the long run. Just a suggestion though

Here is some backer board you might consider: http://www.dickblick.com/products/el...kTracking=true

Here is a portfolio that will hold everything together and keep light and dust off your art: http://www.dickblick.com/products/ec...kTracking=true

and you can go with this between your prints: http://www.dickblick.com/products/li...kTracking=true
or you may prefer this: http://www.dickblick.com/products/st...kTracking=true
or this (bulk roll): http://www.dickblick.com/products/gl...kTracking=true

Hope this helps!

I posted this in the other thread, but since you guys are making plans I thought it important to mention here as well.

The Skyrim Litho is oversized, so it's 24 x 36 and won't fit in one of those portfolios. It's still a standard size, so you can find a cheap frame at a hobby store...




(I think we paid $12 or something for the one in the picture--it's terrible, but it does the job.)

It looks awesome, though. I think it's my favorite litho we've done across all the properties and you guys will be stoked when you get them.

It thought it might fit in the 36" x 48" portfolio if you turn it sideways so that the longest side of the litho runs along the 48" side of the portfolio...when you say it is oversized, how oversized is it?

Either way, looks great on the wall, so hopefully not too many of these will be seeing the inside of a portfolio!

Thanks for that guys, there's a couple of art shops in town so I'll go and check them out and see what they got.
