    :( .....

    I like the frame job a lot, matches the hawaiian theme of the poster. How much did that run you?

    at the time, i was living in kihei on maui, in maui everything is more expensive, including frame jobs. i think it was $240 for the frame job...luckily the poster was bought at the show so it was only $30...or was it $25. the guy in front of me bought the last three in the booth and turned around and sold me one of his three...if youre out there dude, thanks, you made my night, that and hearing HAWAII '78.

    people were walking away from the merch booths with 5+ posters in there hands...they went in a matter of minutes, so much for the one per person limit.

    now on to framing my recently nabbed Dusseldorf A/P...im guessing if i dig back into this thread i could find some ideas. but im lazy...

    anyone care to save me some time and throw up links to their framed dusseldorf prints? i imagine it looks epic framed...i cant wait for mine!
    I shit and I stink, I'm real, join the club...

    nice frame job on the hawaii. i like it, not sure i would've chosen that, but it adds a very unique element to the particular design. really brings out the "hawaiian" flavor with the frame.

    as for the dusseldorfs, theres a few good ones in here. just use the "search this thread" function and type in dusseldorf. they should pop up.

    Finally got my pictures up on the net, heres a few links to them: -

    by the way my apologies for some of the glare in the pics, they were really hard to photograph at night with the lights on, much harder than i thought, but you'll get the idea. The Frames are basically a flat square black frame, and smooth, so they have added a little glare too but look nothing like it on the wall!!

    This one looks so ugly and cheap in pictures, but it's the only one I want so much. My first show, I don't remember seeing posters there but it was the last show(s) of the tour so maybe there were none? Anyway, what's it like in person? Don't suppose you're keen to part with it since it's framed and all...

    No the Zebra is not laminated, its just the way the print is, its not a screen printed poster, its one of the few digitals ames did, so it looks like it has rool marks in most pictures you'll see where in fact they never have its just the pic, its a little shinier than most, but the wierd thing is how thin the paper stock is, very different to the norm, hence why i got it framed so quick, would be very easy to damage and this one is mint!!!

    I think he recently sold it. I was hoping to buy it as a wedding present, but I shouldn't have waited so long. I heard they were $2 at the shows!

    I didnt mean yours looks laminated looks great framed...
    I have seen more than one Laminated in ebay listed in Australia...
    Just makes me wonder why would there be more than one laminated Zebra..
    How could u make that mistake more than once...........:)
    Perhaps because the stock was thin ppl laminated to make it tougher not realising at the time what a piece of art this poster was going to become..:)

    Yeah I've seen a few on ebay too laminated, and I've always sat their a bit disgusted someone would do that!!!

    But yes it is very thin paper, so I guess I see the logic, it just looks from the ebay pics real nasty when laminated

    I live in CNJ and have always used a local guy to frame my posters....

    I had 3 posters that needed framing and my buddy suggested I check Micheals out...I was bit apprehensive with some of the reveiws on this site regarding the craftmanship at Micheals.

    Anywho...I stopped in to learn...1 poster 40% 2 Posters 50% and 3 posters were 60% off...So I took the plunge...

    All my exsisting posters have the same frame and I was able to match up the same frame and off they went...

    I must say..I dont have a bad thing to say...they saved me like 200 bucks and they look great. They had the posters back in my hands 5 days later...

    Micheals offers all the same...Acid Free backings...conservation glass....
