Forming a Waterfall 2015 Tour Poster Collective?

[watchtower41]

I think all 3 nights of Chicago Theatre shows are the same Burwell design with different color variants. I think tonight is green/yellow?  It's an awesome poster, the photo can't really do it justice for the "pop"

Now the question is... get a serious custom frame to put them together just like this or frame them all separate?... Something tells me it won't be cheap.

Uncut edition somewhere down the road. Wishful thinking

You gotta get them framed as though they were one giant poster.

[werduga]

Dang, those look great together. Good thing i didnt go to those shows...i'd have to own that set and it would be expensive to frame!

Burwell has made many of my favorite MMJ posters, but this one just doesn't do it for me.

They're going to be hard to frame separate with a nice matte IMO because all of them are missing the white border on at least one side,with night 2 missing it on two sides.

This  is a pretty confusing set for me. All one color, and no question they would be framed as one, but in addition to being different colors they all have the band's name, city, and show date on them, making them seem like three separate show posters, but yet missing some white border makes it seem like they're meant to be a trypitch.

To me a true trypitch wouldn't have the band's name or city on every one. So I think I'm going to try them in separate frames first, with a minimal matte, and see how it looks. Night 2 is going to be tricky, but if it doesn't look right, I'll just have to put them together in one big frame.

Agreed. Gonna have to have the matting cut almost poster size to not over lap too much. If you get these done soon post a picture. It'll probably take me a month or two to get around to it.

Will do. It's probably going to take me a month or so too. I'm gonna experiment with a couple of different ideas on matting but definitely decided on doing them separate to start out.

I gotta say, I've been unable to justify paying $200+ to frame concert posters that only cost me $25+.  I get that these are now more valuable, but I've been using stock 18x24 frames from Michaels sans matte from the start of my poster collecting days. 

For these Burwells, I'm thinking of mounting three borderless frames next to one another, possibly against each other.  I'm gonna try this:

I know some poster lovers cringe at the cheapo approach, but a custom frame job is about the cost of my trip to Milwaukee for two shows, so...

That's not a bad idea. I just love the look of framed matted posters. However, you might be on to something here. Let's see how creative some get with framing.

[walterfredo]

I'd frame 'em all together with a black matte.

Thanks!  I like it.

UPDATE

I picked up 3 stock 18 x 24 "clip" frames to explore the cheapo approach, using borderless frames to tie the 3 Chicago Burwells together.  I forgot that Guy likes to use paper that is just under the standard dimensions, so it left a little space on each side.  I know many will try to get this done with matting and museum glass and bet it will exceed $300.  This cost me $60.  When I win the lottery, I'll upgrade to a nice custom 54 x 24 frame job.
