kforkevin777 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Not a problem. Haha. I really do want to get better frames. I just don't know much of anything about framing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kforkevin777 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 So, I tried posting this earlier, but the board was fucked... So, instead of starting a new thread, I guess I'll just ask here. I'm looking at frames to get when I get my school check. I've been looking at posterframedepot.com and was wondering if anyone had any experience with them. Their stuff looks pretty good, but as I said above, I have no experience with framing. I made frames for my two Esao prints and my Colin print, and they came out to about $30ppd each, including shipping, and that's with the frame, UV protected lens cover, and acid-free backing. Is that what I'd need? Does anyone have any other reccomendations? Any help would be appreciated. And if anyone wants to see my new Esao print: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Is there recommended frames for Mondo prints? That might sound like a silly question, but so far I have two of mine in what I thought were pretty nice frames I picked up from Jo-Ann Fabrics. Like a few have mentioned before, I really don't have any experience with framing, and I'm not looking to spend a shit-load on them. But I guess what I'm asking is, is it going to hurt the prints in anyway to keep them in the frames they're in now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkticon Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Dan McCarthy's latest: It Felt Good To Be Lost III: $25 24" x 36" frame from Target + $25 custom cut matting from Michael's. The print is still available, too: http://danmccarthy.org/PRINT.DETAIL/99204.lost3.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The print is still available, too: http://danmccarthy.org/PRINT.DETAIL/99204.lost3.html Wow, looks so good! I still need a frame for this bad boy, picked one up for around $30 at Ikea, but didn't realize it has plastic instead of glass. It's also everything but sturdy, so it definitely won't do. Also have his "ghost pines" print, waiting for a frame as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnystorm777 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I just got a print framed at a nice place and it is only about 12x16 I think and it was like $225. Wayyy too much money for a frame. But it looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fireyred77 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I've gotten interested in the prints Jhonen Vasquez does. They're usually based off of his Johnny The Homicidal Maniac collection, but he does a good job with them. This one just went up and I couldn't help but snag one. http://www.z99store.com/product/jthm-floor-damage-screen-print-v2 Rip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathroommonkey Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 next time consider using www.americanframe.com. you put the frame together yourself but way cheaper. here are the last two things i framed. they were for my kids. mattalica17 and Lockieftw 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rip Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I was thinking more along the lines of custom prints. But I guess that's a start? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 i have no idea what custom prints are but you need to head over to www.expressobeans.com. it's full horror poster nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
