    Anyone in Chicago know any good local framers? Checking out some options and want to avoid Michael's for my next frame job.

    CMM framing in the West loop does great work and the owner is very helpful. Highly recommended!

    Right down the street. I will check them out.

    Thanks

    I thought I read somewhere that the yellow glowed in the dark.

    btw: Great framing job. Love the yellow on black. Perfect.

    This one looks cool. I will check them out
    They do a quality job. Just be prepared - apparently wood reclaimed from old barn doors is expensive. Looks cool as hell though.

    Got my Hampton frame job done. Had to add a bunch of stuff to take the focus off the poster since it doesn't do much for me. I got 1 of the MM white picks at the show and purchased the other so I could frame both sides. Cousin got the black one, so I picked one of those up to frame as well. Met a great group of people in the GA line whom I still keep in touch with. Got some great shots of Mike from my spot to put in there as well.

    Also got my 1st of 3 Wrigley framed. Went with a thin gunmetal colored simple frame for the Ken Taylor Eagle.

    Need some opinions from people who've done this a lot. I got some frames and mattes online for a few posters last week. Turns out I'm now finding out (thanks to a friendly person here) the mattes are not acid free, nor is the backer. I asked the place in question about this (http://www.arttoframe.com) and they said while they do have 3 color mattes that are acid-free, the rest are not acid free. They then went on to say it will not matter for posters. Here is their transcript:

    Jacob says:
    None of our content will damage your posters
    Jacob says:
    the acid free is meant for oil based paintings and paint
    Jacob says:
    for a pearl jam poster any of our items will be perfect

    Is this guy full of crap? Do I need to get acid free mattes and backers, or does that not matter for posters? FWIW - I have 2 primary concerns, my new Cracker Jack poster (which is on an smooth, but uncoated stock) and the Wrigley Faile print, which is on a coated stock. I'm not sure if coated or not matters in regards to this.

    Thanks :)

    Thanks guys. Well this is going to suck. I guess I'll take my 2 framed posters to Hobby Lobby, and see how much they'll charge me to replace the matte and backer, as well as remount the posters.

    Did this myself using American frame. Very happy with it! I may actually take it apart again to tweak the spacing on the two mattes but for now I'm so happy to have it framed and out of the file!!

    I had to measure and they sent them to me cut along with the acid free backing, uv and antiglare glass and hardware to clip it in. I got the acid free corner mounts from Michaels (they stick to the matte and the poster slips in so no adhesive on the poster. I should clarify too that American frame was out of stock on the frame I wanted so I actually got the frame itself from pictureframes.com.

    Recently purchased this poster and went simple frame job. Favorite show that I've been to with a cool setlist (You Are/Who U Are/U; I'm Open/I Am Mine/I Got ID; Light Years, Sad and Grievance all highlights) . Hoping they play Verizon again.

    And a well deserved compliment! Lovely job on your Thomas. I was really going for the wood frame to be similar to a wooden baseball bat, the green for the green of Fenway and the red for the Red Sox. Can't wait to find the perfect wall to hang this with my other ballpark posters.

    I love that you did yours yourself. Mine cost a small fortune.
    I think the next one I may give it a try.
