Here are the others that I also got framed....Happy Birthday to me!!!! .

Awesome! I really like Soto's prints. He's not for everyone but some of us like his work.

Thanks I'm very happy with them, my husband made the frames. I love your Philly poster, excellent framing job.

You're welcome. You can't get any more DIY than making your own frames. They're even more more personal that way. Very cool.

Thanks...Those pics of the Philly poster don't do the print any justice. The colors are so vibrant. I didn't realize how great it was until I got back from the framer. And my next frame job is the Soto print from the night before. It should be just as good.

I've framed these 2-sided posters 2 different ways!!
If the back is just a simply written explanation of the artists' inspiration for the poster,
my framer suggested attaching a photocopy of this image onto the backing material for the frame.

MUNK ONE / PITTSBURGH:





SHUSS / WRIGLEY:





The EMEK / Portland poster has really cool artwork & a nice story on the back, so my framer cut a black matte & covered the back of the frame with Plexiglas so you could still see the artwork if you want.
EMEK / PORTLAND:





I think both ways look GREAT...but this one with the matte & plexi on the back was definitely more expensive!!
When I frame the Amsterdam / SIT poster, I'll probably go for the photocopy...I think this one just says "SLOW THE F#%K DOWN"

VERY nice Dave!
I don't know how am I gonna frame the Amsterdam 1 poster yet but I definitely want to be able to see the back of the MK poster! Sure it will be more expensive but I can't imagine not being able to read it/look at it from time to time.

That Queens poster is awesome. The original Queen album cover scared the shit out of me as a kid. My older brother had it.

I got these back last week, I love Roland Tamayo's whales. He is a great guy to deal directly with.

Look amazing, Tash! Others as well! :-bd

Alright....time for my 3rd official post!
Have been hanging onto these for a while now but only recently got the RHYS COOPER back.
All from the same framer, a local bloke in Melbourne.
Will be hanging the 3 PJ's together so wanted them to have a uniform look frame....now to bloody get around to hanging them! The BDO RHYS COOPER is massive, like just over a metre long.

That's bad ass!

Looks great!!! Nice frame!

The details of that poster probably look cool as hell in person!

Yes it is a really cool print. I ordered the frame online custom made due to size of poster. Really happy about how it turned out

Just picked this up from the framers!

WOW!
I love this one... almost starting to regret my plain-jane approach... this is fantastic.

Thank you. Collaborated w/ my framer (Mary @ Frame Nation in Richmond, VA) on this! It's now hanging in my office at work and eliciting lots of comments.

We lost this picture...'Os Pearl Jam' it's epic, and in portuguese
how you can be surprised with the old ones, it's amazing

I'm so happy to post a pic of my first ever attempt at framing! I've been lurking and learning in this thread for a long time. I used frames by mail and couldn't be happier!




Here's my next project....

Hey does anyone have any suggestions for custom framers in and around Chicago?

If you like the job of the posters below, I got them done at a place called Art & Company in Orland Park. I think they have a little shop in the city too. Not only do i think they do an amazing job, they also have unbelievable service, read em up on yelp. The owner said they do all of the framing for Chicago pro sports teams, like signed jerseys for charity benefits.

The owner asked me if I wanted them done really cool or cheap. $100 for cheap, $200 for cool. I said how about 1 cool and 1 cheap? He said how about we do them both really cool but I will price it as 1 cool and 1 cheap. So the below posters were $300 total. I don't know much about framing but I think it was a great deal. Plus they were ready 2-3 days later. He recommended Italian frames and said they are top of the line, so I went with those.

I don't know if he will make the same deal to anyone, I might have caught him on a really good day.
