Framed Geddes

looks great!!

question about the frame....the glass is down on the mat? or out at the front edge of the moulding? can't make it out for sure in the pics.

I would say its on the matte, if the glass was that far away from the print there is the possibility that the image would lose some clarity especially if you where using ant-glare glass, which is not the case here but just saying. It is very well done tho and would work well with any of geddes prints.....

Fantastic choices there Paul! The minimalistic framing allows one to focus purely on the prints and putting them on a wall uncluttered with other prints is the way to go.

I hope to (eventually) have a room dedicated to Geddes with a print per wall...

The white walls of the shadow box are mat strips that hold the museum glass towards the front of the frame about 2 inches from the print. I have no distortion issues since the glass is basically invisible. My Redemption has been hanging for a few months now and I love the effect of depth and knew it was the way to go with Heat Death.

I'm still on the fence between The Street or The Cafe but the more I look at The Cafe I am definitely leaning in that direction.

It still fits the Andromeda Strain vide I get from Heat Death and the rest of the cosmo pieces.

These are all awesome!!

I can't believe I passed on the Small White Cosmonaut. It looks sweet.

Hmmm, The Cafe....

I might break down for Cafe one of these days. Looking forward to seeing the first framed Street.

It's museum glass. From the right angle there is no hint of glass being there at all and it feels like you can step right into the picture. Love it.

I really loved the depth on your Heat Death Happa, I can't stop looking at it. Here are a couple pics of mine.

Nice framing afro. The brown matches the overall tone of Heat Death really well.

The Street framed (nice find mta) will look ginormous on the wall compared to the others.

Redemption 13x13, Heat Death 25x11, Freeway (my last Geddes ISO) 24x15.... The Street 30x24

That framing bill with all that museum glass is gonna hurt even more than the first two did.

Couple of shots of it up on the wall, I originally had a spot in another room in mind for it but once it was on the wall it was far too large.

Looks even better now that it's up. That was a cool frame choice.
