My other Audrey. Cheap 24x20 dark brown frame from Michaels. I scraped the paint off with a razor (took me an effin hour) to give it a nice distressed look. Black mat (and thinking of changing it to ivory...a bit too dark now).

I think that looks great, although I'd like to see the ivory as well.

Good job on that mogwai. That actually works pretty well, and is a bit unconventional for how people usually approach framing that piece. It's one I've always regarded as almost unframable because nothing ever seems to look quite right, but that's probably one of the top couple I've seen for that piece.

Thanks ill! I didn't want to get too fancy but didn't want to be too plain either. Worked out great in the end. We are in the middle of painting the interior of our house, so it may be a while before I get to hang it. :cry:

I like what you've done.

I agree. You should change the mat to ivory. It should really make it pop.

That is awesome! Would be cool enough without the family connection, but that makes it extra special.
this aggression will not stand, man.
