My wife just bought me a aPearl Jam poster from Baltimore, 2013. One I've been after for a while. I want to get it framed and be able to show off the back side of it also. Any tips/suggestions on how to do this and where to go? Thanks!

    That's a tough one. I'm an art instructor and frame artwork all the time. There are double sided frames like these but not sure how big they make them. What are dimensions of your poster?

    For most of my frame jobs, I just ask my framer to make a photocopy of the back of the poster and attach it to the back of the poster:





    The back of the Portland Emek is really sweet...
    so my framer cut a matte for the back of the frame and put a sheet of plexi over it:

    '98: Seattle: Memorial Stadium 1 & 2
    '00: Columbus: Polaris

    '12: Missoula + EV Jacksonville 1 & 2

    '22: Nashville / St. Louis

    Like derbydave said, have them do a reproduction of the back of the poster and attach it to the back of the frame. My framer even made a pocket for it to slide in & out and protect it from dust.
