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. 😉
