David Welker's "West Village" sparkle foil AP. NYU grad and NYC lover and I am so stoked with how this turned out. Was able to upgrade the frame and to museum glass on this one. Entire thing was $40 (print is 18x18).



Nick DiFabbio's phan art for Phish's 2018 Camden run.



Can't remember the photographer's name, but a shot from Phish's NYE show featuring the "Mercury" gag.



Jim Pollock's "Dinner and a Movie" print for Phish's pandemic-inspired streaming series. Can't really see it here but the frame is a deep shadowbox.



And just for something smaller in size/different, an 8x12 film print of a 35mm photo I took in Cairns, Australia in 2014.

 

@Drewski wow, love that David Welker!

I’m thinking Bottleneck is doing The Thing next!? That would be an instant buy.

 

Hey, this thread is news to me. I have loads of prints, but these are my two latest.

 

Oh crap, I didn't know that this was here. I have far too many prints around the house. And yes, they're framed.

And I love seeing Nick DiFabbio mentioned, as he's one of my best friends on the planet.

Latest acquisitions framed - a whole bunch of Scott C.

 

@blast0rama Sick! I love Nick's Phish-inspired stuff. Send him my frame-up because I love that print and how it turned out.

 

Literally was about to text him, @Drewski.

 

So have a stupid question. Have a print I need to get a frame for. Before I had gotten one from SimplyFramed I believe? Looks great, high quality just a little more expensive then I want to spend again.

I see people recommending Michaels. I’ve looked in store and didn’t see much. Do they sell frames in 18x24 with mating in them already or do you have to go through the custom framing option? I just want something cheaper but not “cheap cheap” like you buy at target

 

I was the frame shop manager at a Michaels for 5 years. I dont think they make precut mats for 18x24 prints. Your best bet might be to find a prebuilt 24x30 frame and get an 18x24 opening custom mat cut to fit into. That would give you an even 3 inches of mat around your picture. I have found some different size mats on amazon as well.

 

Sorry for probably stupid questions, but if I didn’t something like this, can I buy the mat at Michaels too? Is there anything I would have to do myself for the mat like cutting/preparing etc?

 

you just got back where they do the custom frames, and they can cut it and put it into the frame for you

 

Sadly less than thrilled with my Jane Doe 20th anniversary timed edition and the /200 unique variant ($200!). Time edition has a scuff on the throat and the colorway on the unique one feels less "cool" than the other ones I've seen and the paint drip right in the middle of the nose is kind of killing me.

 

Loving loving loving this one.

 

That's gorgeous.

 

Bump for getting settled in a new house and conducting a long delayed poster audit. Time to decide what stays in the house and what goes in the garage.



And here's what made the cut for the office:

 

Sweet collection!

 

Was fortunate enough to grab a couple of prints during the latest King Gizz tour. I'm moving soon so they're in a binder for the time being.



Jason Galea, who is a longtime collaborator of Gizz and does the artwork for most of their shows, albums, and merch.



Lewy Jones. He regularly posts cool mashups of their album art in the subreddit and their team reached out to him asking if he'd be interested in doing a show print.

 

Ya know, I really didn't like my variant of this for a while, but now that it's in a proper frame...I kinda love It! The printitself is massive (22.5 x 30).

 

I am not sure what I think of this one. I bought it after the show as it's probably the best 'production' of a live show I have seen.

Ps, not my twitter.

 

Just picked this beauty up!

 

Gorgeous print with an amazing frame job.

 

Got so excited at the sight of it that I gave my framer another print to do haha.

 

Anddddd another new one! Floated inside the frame:

 

Gutted. Mondo got me in the game.

Funko Lays Off Original Mondo Employees, Ending an Era

 

For additional clarification, they have completely shuttered the print division. All that remains (for now) are vinyl and toys

 

Collider updated their article on the announcement saying Funko reached out and confirmed layoffs happening, but that print will continue in some form.
