What does it mean to use matting? Its a term used when framing. I have an idea of what it is, but directly translated to norwegian, the term 'matting' in a framing context doesnt make much sense. Can someone explain to me what this is?

Yeah, thats what I thought too. I have trouble immagining it being something else. The frame job for that vic was awsome by the way! Yours?

You know, my moms uncle past away last year and left behind a small workshop with all the equippment needed to start a glass/framing service. When I see work like that, I just wanna pick up his equippment and start learning...

Someone mentioned they thought that it would be Vic on Vinyl, which makes sense to me.

wow, that is very interesting. How much was the Beneroya Vinyl originally? I know that thing is always selling for lots of cream on Ebay. I missed that sale. As for the Vic boot, I have a decent copy of it on mp3, I am sure the vinyl's quality would be great and worth picking up. Thanks for the info.

In sweden/Europe a mat is called passepartout as in -"Ramade in min DC med enkel svart passepartout och svart ram" (in english: "Framed my DC with one black mat and a black frame")

Keep in mind, its pure speculation, but for some reason it still makes sense to me.

nice catch ... thanks for the heads up ...

but, I passed.

I like horkey's stuff, a lot ... but ... I'm just not into a lot of these bands he's doing prints for ...

I get art prints if I like the art.

I get rock prints becuase I like *both* the band and the art ...

I'd love one of his Arcade Fire prints ... and will pick up an Andrew Bird print at some point (the newer one, not the $1k print from '03). But, Boris? Neurosis? Pelican? ... not bands I'm familiar with ... and I listen to a lot of stuff.
