    Any of these posters - probably framed, matted and hung - can look incredible. That’s art 101. Frankly, most people (PJ fans in particular) don’t display their stuff correctly, because it’s expensive or they don’t have an eye for matting etc or because they hang it next to five other things that don’t compliment it or because its being displayed in a Michael’s poster binder in a closet etc.  I’ve gone through those threads where people post pictures of their PJ prints framed and hung and all I can say is...yuck.  Lots of gutless black frame jobs hung over shitty home office desk furniture.  Yeah, of course it looks bad.

    These prints aren’t my personal favorites but I could see someone doing something awesome with them.

    Friendly rant over!
    My name is Amy. I have mismatched posters on my walls in clearance rack frames without mattes.  

    Nothing is acid free. 

    But!  We love our prints.  We love our goofy poster hall. We're okay with the way we framed our posters because it got them to the wall.  

    I also have a old, paint blotchy table at the end of the hall.  The posters don't match the table or even compliment it, but it's all good!  

    Different things make different people happy.  :smile:

    P.S. FWIW, I even have a degree in art-- Fine Art with a concentration in printmaking. I also work as part of the display staff at an art gallery.  :wink:
    Cool!  My wife has the same degree and we too have lots of randomly framed or hung stuff.  My only point was that PJ prints generate a LOT of discussion, much of it content critical and very little about how we are displaying.  We have stuff that others hate and we love; is that because the content is to our taste or because we have invested in framing?  Both? Neither?  I guess I’m not trying to answer that question, but only raise the point that good framing can compliment or detract from a print, depending on the print itself.  There’s a reason that art is hung the way it is in art museums; historically and today, the frame has an important role in enhancing the experience of viewing a print, just as displaying the prints with particular items does (eg other works of similar age, origin, content etc). In a home, this probably isn’t possible so it means it really comes down to a good frame and mat.

    So at the end of the day, if someone hates the print but must have it, maybe a different display approach can salvage it.  (Or maybe a simple pass on the buy in the first place!  Haha!).  Thats all I was trying to get at!
    Our rule for posters is that if we won't hang it, we won't buy it.  But yes, framing can make all the difference.  I have yet to see McCzech or Man-Pig framed in a way that takes the ugly out of them for me.  :smiley::rofl:

    I am looking forward to framing the Tsang.  I read on his Facebook that he shipped the posters this past Monday.  Did anybody receive a Shipping Confirmation/Tracking Number?  If you have had experience buying from him before, does he indeed email a Tracking Number?  Thanks!

    truthwithintime IMPORTANT - Prints go live at 8pm BST (UK time) tomorrow 20/6/18 via my bigcartel shop (link in the bio).
    They will be limited to 1 print per order, any multiples will have payment returned.
    I want as many fans as possible to have the opportunity to get a print.
    All prints will be properly packaged and shipped in reinforced postal tubes from the U.K.
    Keep an eye on my stories as I’ll be posting a IG story as soon as they’re live and again when they’ve sold out. Judging by the volume of emails, DMs and messages I’ve had about these prints the demand is going to be high so I wish you all the best of luck.

    Yes I asked the 10c merch guy because  all the extra eyes ruin every shirt and sticker. He said it's just to add a  je ne sais quois . Make you double take
     Yeah nice one
     All it does is make me angry it's fucked up decent images. Foolish . 
     And my French spelling is bad

    Those that missed out - don't worry. There will likely be plenty of these in the 10c shop eventually. And, at only $35.

    The question is, will they get stamped CANCELED. Or even not sold due to the cancellation.
