The race, which will include some 25 other rickshaw-driving teams of adventure-loving crazy people, is organized by The Adventurists, and — the best part — it’s all for charity!

Framed Art Phemonena
What I give form to in daylight is only one percent of what I have seen in darkness. -M.C. Escher

“I have still yet to pick my jaw up off the floor after seeing this tremendous frame up. So nice! (Framed by Furthur Frames in Denver, CO.)”
_________________________________________________
“For my first custom framed print, I wanted something that truly matched the piece since I’m going to be seeing it for a long, long time. The details on the frame – the color, the texture of the wood, the matting, the illusion of decay – complements Kawasaki’s painting perfectly. Really happy about the result and proud to share it with the world. -David G.”

“I chose this frame because the piece has swirly designs and I found a frame that mimicked this design. I couldn’t pick just one mat color, so I went with both!- Bridget H.”

“This Dolk piece illuminated under warm soft light adds to the mystique of the shadowed Mushroom Girl.”

“Framed in concave black frame, with Black and Silver double matting. Clean and fast. Nice!”

“This is awesome. The fuzzy looking mat, and hairy combed look of the frame works so well with this Louie piece.”
