framed poster thread

Loulou

I agree, I think it's much nicer in person. I only have one more spot really in this room, still have to frame the surfing Eddie with suitcase print and put it there.

Finally got around to posting in this thread. I get all my posters framed in a little mom-and-pop shop here in town, they are great! I've always loved the Klausen Gorge posters, though I'm not a huge fan of the Ames from that set. And I will admit, I really liked the colors used for the '09 trio (Seattle both nights and Portland). They are so vibrant, and I love all three of them hung together. Quite an eye-catcher, especially with the color gradient from the matting. I'm really looking forward to EV's two Benaroya show, once I get those posters all framed I plan to make one whole wall a full-on collage.

Great job on these. I use a similar "method" in Matting, so I may be biased.

Thanks guys, these posters always make me smile when I see them. Believe it or not, the red on surfing Sasquatch was the toughest to match! I was at the frame shop for like, an hour matching it

Great stuff Lukin66, I like what you did with frames.

Today finally I took 4 posters to frame shop:

Hampton - Hartford

that WOULD look good but all 20 or so of my posters have the same frame.

the grey looked better on american frame's website :roll:

Go with orange or brown, and definitely check it out in person. I did brown that matches perfectly and is one of my favorite framed posters.

Dirty Frankk

Orange matte for sure

pjsteelerfan

I like bothactually, the Orange makes it pop, and the Brown is way more subtle. Depends if you want it to jump off your wall or not.

PillowPants

i need to frame the gorge jumper

then i'm done

honest

i think doing a double matte with the gray in the 2nd pic as the outer and using the orange as a thin inner would be perfect.i really like the gray.

Here is my new frame Austin City Limits, 4 more to come this week include Eddie Ken Taylor Adelaide

yep....mats can totally change the "feel" of a poster.

the second is actually grey...I couldn't find a brown that matched at all.

The orange makes it pop... still my fave combo

Loulou

I vote for Orange too! I think they both look great but orange seems to really bring the print out.

I always use a simple black frame. It does the job, but pails in comparison to some of the mattes shown on here. Well done peeps.

I'm too cheap to fork out the extra 100$ for each poster....

I do the same since I'm pretty cheap, I don't get them matted and just choose a nice wide black frame. Most of these posters are very impressive.

I think the orange kind of distracts from the print. It's the border that pops, not the poster.

Dirty Frankk

Finally I have all brown frames for my bedroom





Usually blue and brown don't go together really well but I think in this case worked out just fine.

Dirty Frankk

and 2 more...

That PJ EMEK looks great. So do the Hampton and Klausen.

Dirty Frankk

Great job with simply frames, looks really sharp.
