hey i just got the same poster --- a mazing! my friend picked it up for me so its out of 250 and not doodled. How are you going to frame it since the one fish extends to the edge of the page

one of my favourites and I believe it is so underrated. I posted this a few pages back but never heard from anyone- any chance of this thing looking different under a black light? Just curious. Wish I had one to try it out!

You mean like UV Light?

I'll be honest chief, I aint gonna bother testing this out but if I do come across a UV light lying around the place I'll get on it

After the decision that we didn’t care if our house turned into a Pearl Jam poster shrine, and who cares what other people think when they come over, Stephen and I did a bunch of framing this past weekend. We re-matted/made adjustments to 4 frames, framed up 4 new ones in black wood with matting and another few in black metal no-mat frames.

We recently purchased a couple of picture ledges to create an 8 foot long display ledge in our living room (they aren’t up yet- we are painting the area first). I know i have seen someone else around here do this too. We are psyched. This set up will allow us to change out the displayed posters fairly easily without making new holes in the walls, and we think it looks nice and clean too . With so many of our posters being 18x24, and so many in black frames, we figure it will be easy to change the poster inside OR swap out the entire frame, depending on what we want to display. I ordered 4 new frames from a different frame shop than I normally use (way cheaper with the added bonus of being MUCH easier to open up) so that will make this even more convenient.

However, one of the best things we did was use archival mounting strips for framing our matted prints: (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KN ... UTF8&psc=1). I don't know about anyone else, but we have a perpetual issue with prints sliding down in their frames. After ruling out the framing being done too “loosely”, we assumed it was due to humidity or temperature changes (which can be quite drastic living on the top floor where all the heat rises to). These strips are perfect. They DO NOT adhere at all to the print itself, only to the mat. They are heavy duty-ish adhesive strips with a hard plastic tab at the top. To use, you position your print on the mat per the usual and then stick the strip to the back of the mat right below the edge of the print; allowing the plastic tab to create a “pocket” for the print to sit in. These things eliminate our frustrations with the slipping completely. The ones I linked to above are pretty big, you can cut them in half (or maybe even thirds?) I placed them on all 4 sides of each print but you can probably get away with doing just the bottom and sides. I highly recommend these for anyone with slippage problems and who, like us, refuses to put tape on their prints. I can not even express how happy these things have made me

Anyhow, we will post up some pics of all the framing we did this weekend to share with you all once we get around to taking the photos. Our place is in a bit of an uproar with super spring cleaning, painting, and with Stephen moving up his stuff (including more posters ) from storage in Texas…so pics will have to wait a bit - probably until the stuff actually gets on the walls.

WOW....Dave....impressive as always.

Looks absolutely amazing!

I haven't taken any of my 4 Wrigley posters to be framed yet, but I was thinking about something similar to this for the Cracker Jack poster. You've definitely inspired me to go with the ticket, 10c travel package badge, and a trading card of each of the band members.

LOOKS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC MY FRIEND!!!
