QuoteAnxiously awaiting delivery of the Berkeley Pinata poster. Didn't pick one up at the show because my husband saw it first and was lukewarm on it.

Decided I'd rather ask for forgiveness than ask for permission and ordered it. Will be putting it in the bedroom. Ha! ::)

above the bed I hope...

An MMJ poster or two in the bedroom is good for the mojo.

what is is costing you guys to frame these things? I have several posters collected sitting in tubes including the Boston from this yr. Anyone have a good recommedation for online supplies or do you do it done professionally?

ctdeadhead, to answer your question about price, for a standard size poster, add a matte or two, framed by a reputable framer would run you somewhere in the ballpark of $200ish, often more depending on frame choice. I do most of my framing myself, here's a response I posted a few pages back in this thread that may be of help. If you have any questions send me a message and I'll try to help you out.

QuoteWhy do the artists do these posters in such weird sizes? I want to frame my poster and it's going to cost a lot to get a custom frame. Anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on framing? I've got the Milwaukee poster.

Well I fancy myself a bit of a poster geek! In the past few years I've been doing all of my own framing and it's so much cheaper than taking it to a framer. I use www.americanframe.com, you can upload the image of the poster to the site and play around with frame and matte choices and see what looks good. Let me know if you have any questions, more than willing to try and help you out. Easily half the price (usually more) than having it framed professionally.

although I do most framing myself, I'll still take high value stuff (and things that I just want to look perfect) to my framer. This one is going to the framers today, Gold Variant (only 8 made) of Marq Spusta's L.A. MMJ poster

That is a GORGEOUS poster.

Those of you in the Chicago area, Artist's Frame Service has a "Just Frame A Poster" deal that starts at $79. They really know what they're doing and will treat your posters like Rembrandts. I think I upgraded to UV glass and added spacers and a few other archival type things and it only topped out around $100.

holy shit, look at that poster!

100 dollars just to frame a poster!

$100 is not a bad price for a custom frame. I plan on doing it for the one I pick up on NYE.

i would really appreciate it if someone could help me get a rcmh poster.

I would trade my copy for a NYE GA floor ticket.

PLease help... I am wanting to get a concert poster from the Dallas show in 2006 on the 17 of Nov. I cant find it for sale on the internet anywhere, and I contacted the designer, who said he only does one printing. Does anyone have an extra they are willing to sell???

walterfredo · Nov 24, 2008, 01:45 PM

just got this back from the framers....I think it's a keeper.

Angry Ewok · Nov 24, 2008, 01:53 PM

Beautiful, Walter!

ALady · Nov 26, 2008, 01:47 PM

That's gorgeous.

The frame complements it beautifully. Nice choices!

kydiddle · Nov 26, 2008, 02:37 PM

That is beautiful.

Where will you hang it?

Jamie44 · Dec 15, 2008, 10:48 AM

Just put my Marq Spusta poster into the framers and it had one of his famous doodles on it. Doodle is of an owl. Anyone got any information regarding the New Years Eve poster. I know that it is going to be a Guy Burwell creation but any idea about the theme of it or even what it looks like?

October · Dec 15, 2008, 11:33 AM

Yea, I'm waiting on NYE poster info too. It's going to be a major pain the ass to haul a poster around all night on New Years, even if they do the wrist band thing and we can pick it up after the show. If it is a Burwell though, I guess I'll try and get it to go along with my Radio City poster, which I already have framed on the wall and which looks great. I love Burwell's stuff.

ALady · Dec 15, 2008, 02:37 PM

We know for certain that it's going to be a Burwell? That's good news.

It's a formidable task to carry around a poster on NYE without it getting completely demolished! I suggest bringing a vinyl poster tube. That'll keep it dry and somewhat rigid, at least.

Jamie44 · Dec 15, 2008, 03:05 PM

Got my RCMH poster back from the framers a couple of weeks ago. When the light hits the poster you kind of discover more intricate work done on the poster. It is one awesome poster. The only poster that I truly like of Guy's work is the RCMH poster. He must be planning something pretty special for the New Year Eve poster.

I don't think anybody actually knows for sure that it's Burwell, but I think most people suspect it will be him, given that he tends to do the art for most of MMJ's big name events.
