I was extremely paranoid and nervous leaving the art with them but because it was painted on a wood board, I didn't think I'd ever be able to frame it myself. Turned out great and all my worrying was for naught. Which brings up the topic, are you guys ever nervous leaving OA with the framers? Any tips? I was incredibly nervous the first time... but i had a long talk with the independent shop owner. He's been in town for almost 40 years and he used to live near Joe Kubert's house as a kid and would visit the Kubert home as a boy. He had the experience in framing and appreciation for OA that made me feel comfortable leaving my babies with him T Shen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Done "correctly" I think as well with the eye drawn to the art immediately without competing with the mats. Panelfan1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahahahaha - ya I triple matted them with a foam spacer between the bottom mat and the next two to give it some depth. It may be a bit overkill - but I have a personal collection to both story lines, so these are keepers in my collection forever, so I thought I may as well spend the little extra to frame the way I wanted it done aokartman and alxjhnsn 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We live in a 3-story patio home (standalone but no yard) so no man-cave or office unfortunately. It took me awhile to talk her into letting me hang my art in the hallway, which actually turned out to be perfect as it gets little to no sunlight and I get to see it many times a day. Basement man-cave has been a dream of mine for a long time as well haha. Good luck! Blastaar and Pete Marino 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Voord Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 Recently framed . . . SODOM AND GOMORRAH (1962) movie poster original artwork painting by Arnaldo Putzu. I like this one a lot. It's from an era when Sword and Sandals movies were popular . . . and I always liked the epic nature of those films.

They call me when the materials are in and I make sure it gets done the same day. Once in a while they say the cannot do it that day so I tell them that I will bring it in bright and early on day X and to please have it done that day instead. Tried this method this past weekend. They called me when the frame was ready, I went in the next day, and in 10 minutes while I walked around the store they were able to insert the art and I was on my way. Zero anxiety option.
