evanc Posted November 26, 2018 Share Posted November 26, 2018 (edited) Hard to get a shot without glare but framed up my Ken Kelly album cover prelim for the Coheed and Cambria album "No World for Tomorrow". The two pieces on either side of it are also Ken Kelly paintings from the album interior! This one was tricky to frame. It is 20x29, and not quite square. It was painted in oil on tracing paper mounted (with only one piece of tape) to foam board. We added the gold fillet to the distressed wood frame to accent the keywork (big triangle symbol) and also to cover a bit of the edges so it wouldn't be obvious the piece wasn't perfectly square. Didn't want to leave it exposed since it was just on tracing paper, so it's framed behind glass. We also added a full spacer around the glass so none of the art touches even though it's a bit "wavy".

MagnusX Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 Is only my opinion, but when I see some art framed it show to me the commitment the owner had to keep the piece for at least (maybe) 5 years... Congratulations to anyone who framed his art...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post T Shen Posted January 15, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 15, 2019 Recently took advantage of a sale at Michaels custom framing and got my Chris Stevens oil painting framed. 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 have them order the materials after measuring my art and then take my art with me. 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.
