Original Artwork Click to Enlarge This particular piece of art barely survived the ravages of Hurricane Katrina last year. After sitting underwater for a period of time, heavy amounts of dirt and grime had settled onto the page. While the cleaning process was more intricate than the usual jobs we do, the result speaks  for itself.  In addition to comic books, we also work on original art when it is necessary. The motives behind restoration or conservation on art is very different from comics. Because each piece of art is unique, there is very little resistance to restoration in terms of value. Art collectors tend to be much more forgiving for particular defects on a piece, especially if the so-called defects are part of the creation process. Tape and glue holding stats in place, white-out, doodling or writing in the margins or on the backside, even clipped corners; these things tend to be left alone when our services are considered. What we offer is a basic cleaning and pressing service that removes creases, folds, yellowing, and diminishes stains. The art will "pop" after its revival, as it returns to the fresh state it was once in. For extreme cases, like the survivors of Hurricane Katrina pictured here, this service can work wonders. It can remove dirt and grime embedded deep within the paper fibers, and allowing the art piece to finally lay flat once again.

We also offer stat replacements for those pieces of art that have lost a few parts along the way. Prices start at $50 per cleaning, and they depend on the extent of work required.
