"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.”
