Thanks! Really happy with how they all turned out! Frames and mat for all of them ran only about 100.00 :-)

I went to my framer (Catch in Utrecht) with last year's San Diego print. With this thread in my I had all kinds of wild ideas, with double mattes and such. But in the end my framer convinced me not to use elaborate mattes and such as it would distract from the print itself. It is a great image after all. I only feared it would be too dark (too blue) so that's why I initially thought of using a yellow matte or so.

Today, I picked up the framed print. And I have to say he was right. That print doesn't need any extras, just a nice frame.


To have the text at the back visible he also used glass. That came out nice too.

Is it better to have a poster put into a cheap frame for long term storage or is it better to keep it in the tube? For some reason the poster for my first international show is extremely cheap so I decided to buy it because sentiment. But I have nowhere to put it.

derbydave

I would get it out of the tube as soon as possible.
If you can't afford to have it framed, try to store your posters in a flat file or portfolio.
You can also store your posters in something like a folding foam core display board like you would use for a science project:

The large ones are perfect...I store my oversized posters in one of these and slide it under the bed!
I'd tell you that ANYTHING is better than storing your artwork in the tube.
Hope this helps.

Picked this one up today. Only one to frame now so time for another spending spree I think.

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

Nice to check out all the new additions.

Even nicer to have one to add myself.





I also just got back the Emek "There Is Only One" whale shark for my daughter, but I haven't been able to snap a good photo of it yet.
