    Got my most recent framing project back from the framers!!!
    2013 Coachella AP by EMEK...

    Matte Detail:
    The top matte is a deep purple linen.
    Second level is a gold "fillet" or "slip" and the bottom matte is called Bermuda Mist!!

    606af87d-f564-4e00-924b-94721c06932b_zpsb5e72917.jpg

    I got #97 of 100

    2f178c98-dfe9-44f5-97a9-927295b07166_zps0b39865a.jpg

    I love the singing fish doodle and the "scale" look of the frame too!!


    I also received a matching handbill with this poster & check out what my framer did with this one.

    Love the different colored "bubbles" she cut in the matte!!

    1370f757-433d-4769-a858-8b3f517a1385_zps6a9a61ad.jpg

    The handbill is floating on top of a silver fillet inside the frame.
    The bottom matte is black linen!!

    Dropped off my Pittsburgh '13 - Munk One when I picked this one up...Should have that beauty back soon!!
    :ugeek:

    Another amazing framing job, Dave! I really love what they did with the handbill. Those bubbles are so creative and unique!

    Can you see if your framer will open up a shop here? :lol: I have about 30 more posters still to do, so I have a lot of business to give them! ;)

    Well, finally getting around to frame some of my posters.
    Sorry for the picture quality, the camera on my phone sucks.
    Btw.. I was at the frame shop when Atovissi pick his Pittsburgh poster up, it looks so damn good in person.

    Those look really good - I have those three to get framed still - well I put the 2 Wrigley in off the rack frames for now. Are you in the U.P.? If so too far for me to drive for framing, but I love the frame jobs you and Atovissi got!

    Grew up in the U.P. but live in Canton Ohio now.
    Yeah the framer is doing great. I was just going to go with the black frame on all of them with a double mat, but after seeing what he did on that Pittsburgh poster I might have him surprise me when I get to some of my favorites like the Donkey Kong or the Pj20 posters.

    I have to stop looking into this thread. All your stuff looks amazing :o :shock: :fp:

    I love the way that Buffalo poster looks with the brown and the golden (?) matting :thumbub: We decided against that poster because we thought it looked kinda boring. But that framing improves it a ton!

    We thought about getting ourselves a mat cutter because we cannot really afford to have our posters framed by a frame shop (how do you all pay your rent? :lol: ). They do sell pretty nice mats at Hobby lobby and the like, and I have cut mats before back in Germany (my dad has such a machine too...). Can anybody maybe give an insight where to get these super stylish mats that are for example orange in the middle and black on the outside? I guess curved cutting is not possible with a regular cutter, I love especially the ones in here with the curved corners ... But i think I have even seen a device for that in a craft store :think:

    Keep on framing, guys! It's a painfully wonderful thing to behold :D

    I thought about getting a mat cutter myself but then i realised that i only have space for 10-15 posters so i decided to find a frame shop to do the job for me. They gave me samples of mats and i give them the dimension to cut it. I buy frames from IKEA and that way my posters cost me about 35 euro each. If you have enough of posters to frame then go for it but for my case didn't worth it. Just try to get a quality mat cutter cause i read reviews of cheap ones that didn't work the way they should. For the super stylish mats, find a a good frame shop and ask if they have colored core mats, i'm sure it's gonna be way cheaper to by it from them and cut it your self. I'll upload photos of my posters later this evening to take a look.

    :thumbup: We don't have an Ikea that close, but we usually are able to get frames for not that much money... You can get a mat cutter slightly cheaper if it's already used, or with a coupon 8-) We'll see. Thanks for the tip to ask the framing store for the mat, didn't even think about that!

    And good stuff up there ^^ I like the photos in the second pic too :)

    Picked up Cracker Jack for my daughter's room over the weekend. I'm saving it for a Christmas present, but I'll try to post a picture of it here if I can get one on the sly.

    It looks great. The poster is floated on some white matting inside a nice textured red lacquer frame. First one I've floated, and it won't be the last.

    I have been meaning to post pictures of this here for a month now.

    this is the only poster i own that is not from a show I attended ( I just really love the poster), it is also the only poster i have professionally framed (plan on getting some more done though). this thing was beastly in size before framing lol

    sorry for my horrendous camera skills, the re-sizing made it even worse

    Hello,

    A question for those of you who have purchased an Ikea frame - which model/style do you typically go with for the typical 18" x 24" poster?
    Thank you for your help. Have a nice week.

    When I was back in Germany, I only used Ikea frames. They don't come in 18x24, sadly... So you have to go for something bigger, and then also get a mat. Ribba or Virserum would probably be the best choice. And if you are in the States, look for coloured mats in stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels etc! They also cut them in the store according to your needs.
