I hadn't received my copy. I need to remember where I ordered it from. :P
I ordered mine from Water Street Books in New Hampshire...

I'm not sure I ordered a copy. I cannot locate an email so know I'm puzzled.

Bought and received a beautiful case for 11/22/63 right here from this site. It is gorgeous, affordable, and shipped quickly.

Thanks, Mr. Collector.

I may have always purchased a flat signed SK book this week. :o

Looking forward to getting my mitts on this one.

Thank you very much. It's my favorite as well and the 2nd one I've bought.

First one has a new home and I couldn't stand not having one anymore.

Picked this up yesterday.

My vision for this piece of art by Jasper Rietman finally came to life! 🎈
I just picked up this handmade, custom-framed piece of art and I couldn't be more thrilled with the result and Jochem's craftmanship.

I wanted this to be more than just a "poster" on the wall, so I personally hand-picked every material to create a specific atmosphere I had in mind.

​Why I chose these details:

​The Red Velvet Mat:

- I specifically went with a deep red velvet matting. The texture is so rich—it catches the light beautifully and is a direct nod to Georgie’s iconic balloon (and the darker themes of Derry). It gives the whole piece a luxurious, and almost "theatrical" feel.

​The Ornate Frame with Art/museum glass:

- I selected this heavy, antique-style molding with the silver inner lip to give it a "Victorian Horror" vibe. I wanted it to look like something pulled straight out of a haunted library or a cursed estate. And we all love that idea, don't we?

And this was actually a very deliberate design choice on my part to create that specific tension.
​The artwork uses those soft, desaturated pastels and pink clouds to evoke a sense of serenity and peace.
By hand-picking the deep, saturated red velvet, I wanted to create a visual 'intrusion.'

To me, that bold mat represents the deity we know as Pennywise and the balloon is literally IT breaking through the clouds of peace and nostalgia.

​I didn't want the matting to be passive, which is why I went with a deep dark, red velvet—I love how the fabric absorbs the light, giving it a deep, almost 'void-like' saturation that represents the underlying horror theme of Derry framing the 'innocent' neighborhood.

​As for the ornate frame, I chose it to represent the ancient, heavy atmosphere of the realm Pennywise inhabits. I wanted the frame to give Victorian horror vibes, like a confined and cursed space—almost like a jail or a dark lock that it has over the town of Derry.

​It’s definitely a bold look, but I felt the story demanded that kind of high-contrast view of drama!

​It’s amazing how the right combination can completely change the mood of the art.

This one is definitely a new favorite of mine in the collection!

​What do you guys think of the velvet/dark silver combo?

Ps: I can't really add a high res picture or anything so I'll just drop a link here to the original facebook post, so that you all can enjoy the pictures of IT. 😉

I see the look you're going for there and I like it. Also nice choice on the anti-reflective glass it really makes a difference. One of those times were probably the frame job cost almost or more than the panting itself? I've had my share of those.

Where are you going to hang it?

Thank you! Well, this frame actually cost double, but the price is definitely worth it. I’ve already hung it on the wall next to one of my bookcases. I did have to relocate one of the others, though—this one just deserves to be showcased. 😉
