“”My (Freed’s) next print – “We’re Still Here” – is based on a photo I saw of two soldiers spraying a wall in Iraq. We are at the point right now in our country that the economy has gotten so bad, it has consumed nearly everyone. The “Support Our Troops” stickers have faded and the outcry to bring our soldiers home has died to a murmur. The mainstream media has moved on, relaying news only when there is a tragedy in which American lives have been lost. The fact is that over 125.000 troops are still in Iraq and Afghanistan – and the conditions they live with day in and day out are extremely dangerous. These soldiers, and the ongoing sacrifices made not only by the soldiers themselves, but also by their families, should not be forgotten.” -Freed

Framed Art Phenomena
When choosing the correct frame for your art piece, it’s almost a joint collaboration with the artist itself. The artists work is like the naked soul and the frame/matte is like the outer clothing. The wrong frame, and the piece can suffer. But when everything is done well, the results can often be like an epiphany…
"Jimi Hendrix" by David Choe. Pic provided by "boognish23" from expressobeans.com
“Loud and boisterous image of late-60s rocker, Jimi Hendrix ala Choe-style is tempered by a simple black frame to give it a classic, ready for the gallery look.”

"Decemberists" by Emek. Pic provided by "azuyderd" from expressobeans.com
“This is probably my favorite Emek gig poster. I like how the extra-wide matte and frame opens up the image of the whale. It adds to the illusion that the whale really is floating out there”

"Fairytale" by Malleus. Pic provided by "db23" from expressobeans.com
“Fairytale will always be a special print to me because it’s the print that got me into print/poster collecting. Db23 did it right in mounting this without a matte in my opinion. It doesn’t need one as the image is perfectly balanced with the nice ornate gold frame around it.”

“There’s no better way to display this Saber print than to float it. A pair of Sabers, even better!”
