Ron, I don't that it's fair to say that all white mattes are bad... it doesn't always have to do with matching the colours on the poster... it needs to stand out from the wall and match other items in the room... the reason i chose the white matte was to contrast with the dark colour on the wall, and to pick up the white in the paintings on the opposite wall... here'a pic so you can see...

i think anything other that white would have made the hamilton poster disappear into the wall!

This picture is better! I am not saying that all white mattes are bad, I said sometimes......especially with dark color posters......I'll probably have more than 50% of mine with white mattes....

Your benaroya poster set is great! Where did you get that?

OK took some pics this afternoon of my Portland poster framed check it out:

OK this cost $450 cause its a hardwood hand painted frame with a black matte, turquoise matte, and that last layer is a natural fiber filler (like a matte but twice as deep. Everything is acid free and the glass is actually a mueseum quality light resistant glass. I really like the paint on the wood on this piece as it glows tih the Native American art work on the poster itself.

This is the only Pearl Jam poster I have framed atm but intend on getting my Vancouver 05 framed or my Getz 96 framed next.

If you flip through that album on webshots youll see the framing for 2 pieces of Joe Linsner's art I have framed. They are very similar in that the frames themselves have patterns in them and I always go at least 2 mattes.

Wow, you went all out on this one. I love this poster, as I also have it framed. But, I went for the simple look. Black matting, black frame. My belief is that the poster is the art. Too much busy stuff around the poster detracts from the poster itself. (Just my 2 cents)

Just a couple pics of my Ottawa 05, Chrome frame, double matted. Still waiting for my Rome and Amsterdam 96's and Chicago 98 to be framed.

Sorry for the delay, Just checked them now. Um, I can't part with that Stockholm 2000 for the 98 Sacramento. I really love the Stockholm. Let me know if you see anything else. Thanks

Raliegh 98? I hate you Greg...even if I did get a kick ass texas 03 from you..

I got my poster from Mexico City show framed and it looked so damn nice, but just before Christmas the most strange and bizarre thing happend, i came from a party and when i entered my room i saw it on the floor, pieces of glass everywhere, the frame completely destroyed and (luckly) the poster was a little bit damaged.

The thing is that the nail, in wich it was hanging, was still on the wall...i wonder how the fuck did it fall?

The next time your gonna hang it on your wall ask a carpenter to help you.

But your so damn lucky that the only things that broken is the frame and that it not damage your poster.

love the different colored mattes that don't seemingly go with the majority color of the poster. i.e. Toronto.
