Show your framed MMJ show posters

I would suggest looking at Framebridge for better pricing than that. Limited mat color options but great quality work and lower prices than a framing shop.

Yeah, I'm sure there are cheaper options out there.  But since it's 3 prints that run together, I'd like to have them in the same frame and probably, subsequently, a very customized matte.  It's honestly a job for a proffessional for the 3 Guy Burwell Chicago prints.  I'm also unsure if i would want to put a thin piece of matte in between each poster or just try to put them all together.  Also probably wouldn't be a bad option to just frame them on top of the matte as you may have saw I did with the Phish print.  UGHHH, decisions decision........

Yeah those Chicago Burwell's are giving me a tough time too. On one hand they seem like they'd be best suited in one frame but the three different colors make it rough selecting a matte color. I was thinking of just going with a basic black/white but I really like more color than that. Throw in the unbordered edges and by matting them some print will get cut off and it makes it even more challenging making a decision.

I'm giving more and more thought to framing them individually and just hanging them side by side but I haven't come to a final decision yet and it's coming up on a year already! Ughhh!

I'm toying with having my father-in-law, who is a master woodworking genius, make a custom frame for the Burwell Chicago triptych.  I would put them edge-to-edge and probably forgo a matte, but keep forgetting to look at some mockups.

Here's an image of the three together.

That looks good John but it also shows part of my dilemma. The three MMJ's along the top and the three Chicago's along the bottom make this not a normal looking triptych to me. Especially with the white border coming down between the tops of 1-2 and 2-3.

It's like they make them individual prints that should be hung separately, while the heart of the prints look like a true triptych that should be hung as one print. I think if the tops ran together like the bottoms I'd be more inclined to hang them as one but I find myself leaning more and more towards doing them separate.

I don't think there's a right or wrong with these but Guy did us no favors with these beauties. Definitely tricky to say the least. For me anyway.

Looks great, Mr. White!

Dang Justin Helton is killing the poster game right now. Those  Louisville prints look great together side by side!

[LBSUNFLWR]

looking good, Mr. White.
will post mine when they are done.

Just put this up. A couple of reflections, but thought I'd share.

I just noticed the Red Rocks prints aren't the usual 18x24. They are a half inch shorter in each side. I'm surprised you found an off the shelf frame that fit.

most (all?) of burwell's are like that.

Do you guys have any suggestions on framing/placing variants? I just ordered the Iriqouis set. Is there any special glass, light, or sunlight placement you suggest?? If there is little sunlight dos that make the variant less special?

When I got the Beacon variant run framed, I went with an anti-glare UV protection glass. Does a really nice job of tempering the brightness of the foil, but still letting you notice it. I have pictures of them on the previous page. I think that glass ran an extra $65 per frame from the shop I used. a bit pricey, but I think it was worth it.

UV protection glass is most definitely worth it if your posters/art is going to be exposed to sunlight,IMO.

In fact I like it on my framed pieces because it also seems to cut down on any glare or reflection no matter where it's hung. I don't think it's a must do though unless it's exposed to sunlight.

I can't speak to variants because I don't have any but I'd imagine if I spent the extra money to own some and frame em, I'd also go with the museum quality/UV protection glass. I know how good my regular prints look with it so I'm sure the UV glass would only enhance the variant.

That's how I looked at it. They're works of art which are beautiful and considering those four nights of music, have amazing sentimental value. I want them to stay in as good shape as possible for as long as possible. I would have gone for the museum glass, but I believe that was something around an additional $150 per frame. With four pieces to get framed, it was already a pricey job.

But the anti-glare works perfectly. 2 of the 4 posters are across a window (for reference, nights #3 and #4....#3 which is practically entirely foil) and the anti-glare makes a world of differences.

Finally got my Seattle poster framed.  I cut the mat myself so not quite perfect.   Sorry terrible picture.

Thanks to generosity and collaboration, I have all 3 Red Rocks prints on my living room wall.  Just basic framing; I still can't justify putting 10 times more cash into a frame than into the poster (though, based on eBay, perhaps its more like only twice as much).

Looks great John.

Looks great John.       

Thanks, Eric!  I decided to retire the Burwell spacemen for now and replaced them with two Slater landscapes.  The one on the left is a band-signed print for the Milwaukee 2-night run from Father's Day weekend 2015.  The one on the right is a gold foil from Atlanta.

Still  looking great John!     


I wasn't crazy about the brown matte I had on my RR 11 and finally found something I like. It looks a little red in the pic but it's more of a burnt orange like in the print itself.

Matting just came in for my RR prints. Pretty stoked about the turn out. Anyone else besides JY and White get theirs framed?
