"Cluster" by Jeremy Geddes. Pic provided by Kurt F.
“It’s always great seeing newly released prints framed up so quickly. Ahead of the pack, Kurt F. frames up this Geddes piece so nicely. Love that thin dark red trim mat. Take note “Cluster” owners! (Not me :()”

"Widespread Panic, Chicago IL 2011" by Emek. Pic provided by Nicole P.
“Nicole P. is the framing manager at Hobby Lobby in Florence, SC and these are some of her frame ups. I really like her interpretations of these posters. Regarding the Taylor poster: “This one is special to me because my boyfriend bought it for me before he tried to be my boyfriend….clever fellow đ A fancier frame than I would normally choose, but the print dictated the framing. I also wouldn’t normally consider using a brushed gold as the top mat but it went perfectly with the metallics in the print. -Nicole P.”

"Totoro" by Olly Moss. Pic provided by Karl S.
“This Moss frame up is absolute framing perfection. What else needs to be said? It’s PERFECT. Karl on this piece: It was a challenging piece to frame, with some colours that are difficult to complement and not clash all the way around. I went with âRaspberry Fizzâ for the inner mat, which really brought the bottom type out and matched the range of pinks & purples. The larger purple outer mat has a subtle cloth texture. The frame itself is a concave matte brushed nickel with a slight yellow tone that works well with similar tones in the print. Overall itâs a pretty contemporary look and I canât imagine any other options for this print. Iâm in love! -Karl S.”

"Dragonfly" by Michael Everett. Pic provided by Timothy V.
“Black frame, gold bead rabbet, two acid free mats (brown faux leather over black green core), all backed by acid free foam core, and covered with UV glass. Mats were selected to complement the printâs background and highlight the dragonflyâs green body. The gold bead rabbet matches the dragonflyâs eyes. This was a present for my wife. -Timothy V.”

"Saying Goodbye" by Audrey Kawasaki. Pic provided by David G.
“By now you may have noticed that I repeat some of the same prints from past articles. However, this points out that each frame up of the same piece is intepreted different with equally great results. Proof that the final framing job does add to the art. Regarding this piece: The charcoal black/brown wood and the subtle orange-brown lining the edge matches the colors in the print very well. It’s simple enough not to overload the details but ornate enough to add some flavor to the piece. We tried different mat colors but kept going back to white. -David G.”

"Kill Bill" by Tyler Stout. Pic provided by "sterlingben" from expressobeans.com
“I consider this frame up to be somewhat ambitious, however it’s times that taking risks is where the payoff really is. A bold yellow frame is at times risky, however in this case it works so well in emphasizing the main character of this movie, The Bride.”

"Star Wars Set" by Olly Moss. Pic provided by "surfingjeff" from expressobeans.com
“This is pretty much setting the standard on how to frame up this Moss Star Wars set. Great detail in matching the mat with the color theme of each poster. Note the slight rippling on the Empire print, I hope he gets that fixed.”

"Let the Right One In" by Tyler Stout. Pic provided by Marcus H.
“I went and a double mat board setup – 4mm of red mat (with white chamfer) to match the red on the print and then a 70mm white mat as a surround with a simple white timber frame with conservation glass to finish it off. I thought i would keep it simple seeing as there is a lot happenning on the print already to catch your attention. I think it works well. -Marcus H. (Framed by Artland)”

"Shackled" by Jeff Soto. Pic provided by "inkedup" from expressobeans.com
“This stunning Soto piece has nice complementary mats to match the color theme of the print and the frame design looks like a chain-link, thus…shackled! (Framed by Furthur Frames in Denver CO.)”

"Snow Owl" by Jeff Soto. Pic provided by admin
“This wood printed Soto piece came ready to mount onto your walls. However nice it was, it looked somewhat naked and was begging for a surrounding frame to complement it. The frame I chose has similar patterns to the feathered owl in the image. (Framed by Framing House Design in Los Angeles, CA.)”

"Witch" by Marq Spusta. Pic provided by Furthur Frames
“This dark themed print gets a similar treatment. I like how the frame looks like roots from a tree similar to the print image. (Framed by Furthur Frames in Denver, CO.)”

"Peace Tree" by Emek. Pic provided by "usfice6" from expressobeans.com
“This collector went all out when it came to framing this print and its accompanying handbills. Quite a feat for the completetists.”
