Interested in any feedback... Cool piece. I think it turned out well. Couple questions: 1. Did you go with at thicker ply mat board since it's a single (hard to tell from the pic) and 2. Is it mounted with the corner hangers? I want to frame some more of mine, but the last time more of the art board got covered up than I would've preferred.

Yes, it's a thicker one ply mat that is effectively two ply. Yes again, corner hangers. My framer tells me she only needs about 1/8 of an inch for the mat, so I've been able to mat just the art, or like in this instance where you can still see the artists' signatures as well as page info at the top.

The Voord Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) Just back from the framers (excuse the flashlight reflection) . . . Reynold Brown's very first movie campaign painting for 'The World in His Arms' (1952). Total framed area is a large 40" x 33" Edited October 5, 2018 by The Voord Andahaion, williamhlawson, 707comics and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then standing at an edge and use the CamScanner and crop outside the frame area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a better (pre-framed) image in my CAF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aahz Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Two page splash from Promethea ... JH Williams. I generally like the plain black frames for a lot of my comic art, but this silver, vine frame seemed to highlight the art more. Peter L 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me add that I think too many people go for a black and white look which I think makes the image too austere. This picks up the intracacy of the piece nicely. dirtymartini1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post GreatEscape Posted November 14, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 14, 2018 (edited) Time to frame my CAF avatar piece-- the painted cover to Captain America: What Price Glory #2 (2003) by JG Jones. For a patriotic display, I chose a blue and vibranium toned star-studded carved wood frame with double-mats in crimson and navy blue. I'm thrilled with the result!

Junkdrawer Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Me to my framer: “ Gee, framing is expensive.” My framer to me:” Framing is a service that caters to the more well off. Poor people don’t get *#@% framed.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panelfan1 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 (edited) Not sure if anyone has tried it - but if there is a thrift store near you - they often sell framed art for less than the cost of framing. It's not too hard to take out the art and put in your art. Just an idea for anyone trying to budget. One other positive- some old frames are quite cool - so you can find some unique options. For me - finding a cool frame is often the primary interest as the big box guys have limited options.

DAWN AT SOCORRO has an art image size of about 23" x 15", which is the smallest Reynold Brown painting I own. Largest Reynold Brown movie poster painting I have, THE WORLD IN HIS ARMS (1952), has an art image size of 32" x 25" Edited November 19, 2018 by The Voord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
