I may have gotten lucky with finding a mat in just that SLIGHTLY orange red color of the leaves (or close enough to it) (the hardest part was getting rid of the white core), but if you go to a frame shop with enough options, you should be alright finding something that'll work for yours. I'll look forward to seeing your frameup!

its a shade of blue/grey.

some areas are brighter blue, some more blue grayish.
It's probably my #1 attainable ISO. Just put a down payment on one. Can't wait to see it in person.

You'll freak when you see it. It's magnificent. Congrats!!

I just sent mine to the framer. It's one of my favorite pieces for sure

To hide the white core of a colored mat just have your framer cut them with a reverse bevel. It's worked well for my pieces with no painting needed.

Dear God, this is beautiful. Please let heaven be filled with Aaron Horkey's glorious artwork.

PS: Speaking of naif/converge, I have never been able to decide which one to go for. I know both eventually, but cannot make up my mind which I would want on the wall.
PPS: The owner of #27 should talk to me. If the number doesn't mean much to you I would pay for your copy or find a copy to trade with you. This goes for nearly any #27 Horkey's. Budget is tight, but I can work something up.

Yeah, his work is amazing!
Apparently he’s looking to do some prints with Burlesque sometime soon.

Thanks to mistersmith! This thing is a beauty in person!

From some of the recent closeup pics of the GOT and others, this one included, Aaron seems to be changing his line work a little. Reminds me a bit of Durieux's hatching.

Nice ChrisV.

Really hard to beat EMEK/Horkey. I wish they'd do another collab. That thing just kills up close.

The following is a true story.

My wife and I went out to eat yesterday and while we were waiting for our table, we decided to play 20 Questions. This is exactly how the game played out:

Claudia Q1: Is it alive?

Me: No

Claudia Q2: Is it dead?

Me: No. Well, kind of... but no.

Claudia Q3: Is it a print?

Me: Yes.

Claudia Q4: Is it a Horkey?

Me: Yes.

Claudia Q5: Is it Dead Man?

Me: drymount

We hadn't been talking about Horkey or Dead Man either. There was no reason for her to guess that other than my "kind of" comment when she asked if it was dead.

I love my wife
