Agreed. My eyes went directly to the frame instead of the art.

Here is something I put together. Sorry the the picture sucks. It is next to my bed so it is the first thing I see when i roll out of bed in the morning. :pint: :pint:


I grabbed it maybe about a year ago when it popped up on ebay, I think I've seen one on there since then :/ Surprised I don't see more since there was an timed edition yellow version available that apparently sold a ton. Love your ep. 6 one... thats my fave Olly print ever.

Oh and hey, just got these babies framed! Hopefully up on the wall soon...

Agreed. Still, very nice. Wonder how much that cost.

This is just a shameless excuse to re-post that incredible Indy frame job. :wink: I fully support you in this and expect to see Indy again once the Bat arrives :drool:


SurfingJeff, as requested, The Bat arrived and landed right on the wall. Also added both AWIL's shortly after that, and then reacquired Totoro last night. Its been a fun ride. Now time to work on my Stout wall.

Nice simple frame up.

I was just looking at my Totoro variant last night thinking of possible frame ideas.

Thanks. I think all the matting ones in previous posts look amazing. But I just like the simpilcity of the frame, and of course the price :wink:
Besides, the non-glare UV glass looks way cooler than the glaring ones.

Nice job on the Totoro set. Having a the set, plus matching #'s is pretty awesome.

Hi guys,

I am going to be framing up my Mario and Totoro prints soon once I receive them and am looking for framing ideas / tips.
Is there any colour differences when viewing between non-glare UV and glare UV? I was also just looking up on a frame shop's Website and they listed something called 'museum glass' which they say is the best, but I have no idea what that is (blocks 100% of UV rays apparently, instead of 97%).

I really like what lostlyrix did with his Totoro set so I will likely just go for something like that, with maybe a slightly thicker bezel (or may not).

Without typing a lot, cause im lazy and drinking right now. Your biggest difference between regular UV and Museum glass is museum glass is going to be nearly glare free. Looks fantastic, also not cheap. There are lots of good threads about glass around here, just scroll down a bit and read some of the informative threads that arent pics of frames.

Thanks, I am thinking of going for plexiglass now (anti-glare and UV protected) since it is lighter and likely cheaper than the glass equivalent. Any major reason I should stick with regular glass over plexi?

PS: I will look up some threads here later tonight and do some research on my own too. :lol:

Plexi scratches and you'll end up with micro scratches regardless of how careful you are with cleaning.

Regardless of UV protection, there is also a big difference between non-glare and anti-reflective. While Museum Anti-Reflective diminishes the reflection, Non-Glare (or Reflection Control) glass defuses the reflection with a frosted surface. Personally I find the defused light reflections more distracting than regular glass. Non-glare also makes the image appear hazy with any distance from the from the image surface, so the more mats you use the worse it gets.
