I'm still guilty of having these still in the tubes they were shipped in. We dont really have any off the shelf frames down here to suit these posters so will have to be professionally framed which costs an arm and a leg.

Looking good!

Those look so good framed.

Did you get it done somewhere for a crazy price or did you do these yourself somehow? I want to frame a couple things(including one of these)but even with the standard 50% off Michaels coupon they always want like 400-500 bucks a pop.

You can get decent sized prints framed for 200 or less during one of their 50-60% off sales. I have done it many times over the years in the south. They usually do a respectable job as well. Regional prices may vary I guess.

nice job on those!

I find it good to look for local framers too...that is what I did for my posters and it worked out for a fraction of what Michael's and other charge...sorry, don't want to derail, back to the regular program

Unless its an odd size or u need a special sized or specific color matte theres no reason to not frame things yourself. Besides brick & mortar stores theres plenty of framing supplie available online, even on amazon. Espeically for posters/prints, if its a $$ original than thats different story

My bad for cont derail and yea def look for mom & pop shops if your gonna pay someone

^ I used to go to mom and pop shops in NC, I have found where I'm living now they all want MUCH more than Michael's charges during their big sales. I am all for using local folks...as long as it doesn't cost twice as much.

Glad you like them.
I waited so long because I was sure I couldn't frame them myself (because of the "Japanese" dimensions) and that it would cost me a lot.
I also waited to find the right spot and was still thinking about displaying them as a "trilogy". I didn't want them to be fully exposed to sunlight (as I don't know if the glass of the frame protects them from the UV deterioration...).

But at a local hardware store I found some nice wooden frames (24x32 inches) and I had the mat made professionally.
$60 overall for framing each poster. Way under professional framing around here.

I am quite happy with the result.

That print is so awesome! I would love to see a King painted up just like that pupils, and all. Has there been a previous release with the painted pupil before?

REALLY nice to have some rough textures going on in this sculpt. I also appreciate H.S.'s unwavering attention to detail when it comes to the genital area 8). Has the butthole screw fallen out on the battle-damaged version? Inquiring minds want to know!
