    Another self-frame job. The guy at Michael's hooked me up with the mat, it was discontinued so ended up being only $10 instead of $60; so it ended up being about $35 total with frame, mat and backing. Couldn't capture how much the purple makes the rest of the color in the poster pop, but I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to frame this one!

    I bought the frame elsewhere, bought the matting and backing from Michaels and did the rest on my own

    Looks good from the pic. Did you make sure to use acid-free foamcore backing?

    The picture is kinda shitty, tried to adjust it a little to reduce the glass glare, but I picked up my Baltimore Cooper yesterday! My framer reproduced the back of the original print and placed a copy in a sleeve on the backing board so I can remove it for presentation. He said it was too cool to hide it behind a frame forever. He also said he looked up Pearl Jam on Youtube and that "they are really good."

    Looks really good

    What color frame are you going with on the Lauderdale?

    I use black on them all - usually like to use double matte with different colors - boring but they are all in the same room, for the sake of consistency :) OCD

    I hear you on that they're all in the same room, and want to keep them all in the same theme with the black frames.

    Hi poster framers! Hoping you can help. I'm looking to frame some of my posters that are currently waiting in their flat file. I framed an EV solo poster a couple of years ago. I used a website and did the all measuring and choosing of colors myself (I did a double matte, wood frame). The website gave detailed instructions for measuring and then assembling when the pieces arrived. It turned out beautiful and cost less than $100. I can't remember the website. Anybody know what it might have been? Any other ideas for economical framing that still includes custom matte colors and other creative options?

    I think that's it actually. I know at the time I was looking at a couple of different sites and that was one of them. I'll explore that one more when I actually have time to get on my computer instead of my phone. Thx

    Hey people! I know i am very late the party here, but would love some help/thoughts/guidance. Through the help of a great person (brian austin green (wink)), i have obtained u2/pj hawaii and will be getting framed for my may bday. $ will be no object. I will be kept out of the loop until i open her up. So i want my wife and family to not screw it up!! Anyone have any pics/ideas as to what we can do?? Michaels did a good job on soto montreal, so im ok using them. Also from mid-state ny if that helps. Thanks for your time. Feel free to pm if you wanna do it that way. And pj, keep up the great tour!!!
