framed poster thread

Any suggestions on how you would frame the variant? Can you insert the variant into the same mat choices to see what it would look like? Would you do something different? Clearly you have a good eye for framing.

here I made few suggestions

Really nice PJ20 set derbydave, blue and red details are really cool :thumbup:

So it is not Pearl Jam but it is a Seattle Band "Alice In Chains". I became a member of their fan club as soon as they regrouped. My wife responded to an email "thanks for becoming a member respond to this email for a free gift" I ignored the email, she did not & a few weeks later we get this poster in a tube, and she thought it "this is nice". I said "yeah its pretty cool huh?"

Upon closer observation and it being in the tube for a few weeks I noticed it was signed by the band! Only autographed piece I have in my Music memorabilia collection. I painted the room it hangs in off of the greenish shirt in the picture, so the room and poster match. I get compliments on the color of the room by many people I just say I picked the color from the Alice In Chains poster. LoL

Just got 2 of my PJ20 posters back from the framing shop...












Have to do the Justin Hampton NEXT!!!!

Hey Dave, just out of curiosity, where did you have those done and if you don't mind saying, how much did they run? I really like the wristband and ticket layout.

Hey Matt,
I had these done at The Framing Center.
They have 3 locations in Columbus...
Kingsdale, Polaris & Dublin.
I use the Polaris location & they alway do a GREAT JOB!!!
The Klausen was about $200 & the Ames Bros. was $175,
not bad for 2 mattes with the extra openings and I always get the non-reflective glass too!!
They have a 25% off coupon available on their website!!
I'm taking the Justin Hampton poster in this week.

that's amazing how different frames affect the final image.

any chance you could have a go at suggestions for these if you get chance?
I really want an idea or two before I head to the framers....

Hey there... My 2c...

What Niko did for the original looks amazing... not sure it works so well for the variant... just my 2c, but to me looking at the mattings, they draw away from the artwork... now matting should not detract from it... They would still look good, but perhaps with a darker matting?

Besides, Dirrty Frank has more experience then me in this... I've got 5 framed verse his 805 and now I see he has done this, can I ask for your advice in a few weeks time?

yeah they made 220 signed (I think) mine is #212 so either I was 8th in line or almost missed my chance and only 8 were available after mine?

Who knows? all I know, is I owe my wife big time b/c I thought it would be a sticker or something less cool.

My wife just had this framed for my birthday
