Default Background art for display purposes.

Hi guys

I'm about to set up my first display in a new cabinet and I was just wondering if you can buy the background art that Bowen/Sideshow use when advertising their statues ? Any guidance would be great.

There aren't any produced posters or pics for sale that I've ever seen...I know someone here on the boards made a nice small poster or mini-print once..

Cheers, I might try colour prints of online images, to see how it looks.

I picked up a Bowen poster signed by Randy off eBay a while back, but they dont show up too often:



There's also this that Randy showed us a few months ago, but I haven't heard of any plans to release it as a poster (unfortunately):



There are full-page ads like this one produced from time to time, but I think your best bet would be to try and find some of the old Bowen advertising "flyers" that were a few pages long. They sometimes show up on eBay.



I doubt very much that you would be able to aquire any of the original montage photos sans copy.

I like having mirrors behind my stuff the best, but that Bowen poster is sitting behind my Smackdown Hulk as we speak

I'm still mulling over mirrors, even thinking of glass with the water effect ! I can chop and change over the yrs, all part of the fun !

Al, a work in progress, still looking for the right kind of shelving. I am current looking at quotes for custom cabinets. The small display area in the living room has a chance of getting a lot bigger with a room conversion of one of the kids bedrooms, just need to be patient !!

what about a light up case from the rear and then a movie type poster with a city skyline.... this has been one of my thoughts for sometime now.... just havent pursued it yet.

something like this lit from behind and good ole daredevil in front would rock.
