I picked this up from the framers this afternoon - very happy with the result.
I went and a double mat board setup - 4mm of red mat (with white chamfer) to match the red on the print and then a 70mm white mat as a surround with a simple white timber frame with conserevation glass to finish it off.
I thought i would keep it simple seeing as there is a lot happenning on the print already to catch your attention. I think it works well.

Need to get back on the re snag for this ASAP!!!
Excellent work!
In fact, that is the best frame of of this print I've yet seen. It's just gorgeous

Thanks mate appreciate the comments – I am very happy with the results. I suggest you get a copy of this back in your hands as soon as you can – and get it up on one of your walls. Is has to be the regluar too (with the red blood). i think it hits the variant out of the park - just my two cents worth.

I don’t get the variant, at all! Why would you want a poster of one of the most seminal vampires movies... without the red blood cells on it
?
Will be trying to get it back next month after I’m paid... and hope you don’t mind but I will probably be ripping off your frame job

Stout himself even seemed to think the variant was a little strange
"there is also a 24x36 variant, which doesn't have the red blood color but instead has a layer of glow in the dark ink. its a little yellow, and yellow + snow is not exactly a perfect match...but it is what it is."

from someone who had the variant...the GID on it was pretty damn sweet
in hindsight I would have preferred the reg thou

Yeah, that frame job rules. I'm salivating just thinking about how nice that would look up in a minimal style room.

I think it is also the first ever stout I see in a white frame.

+1 Outstanding setup ducky!
I finally got around to watching this on Netflix a couple weeks ago and was glad it lived up to the hype.

That frame job is beautiful. A really brave choice of frame/mount compliment the print perfectly. Kudos.

WOW that looks soooooo freakin sweet!!!
Perfect frame job on a beautiful print, the extended white mat makes the print jump out of the frame, i love it!

while we're on the subject of framing, here's a crude mock-up of what i have planned for my stout
let the right one in print:
- print floated 1/8" above a darkish red mat (to match the blood)
- silverish or gray mat (to match the midtones) w/ 2" or so of clear space on each side w/ 1/8" or 3/16" risers
- either a 3" on each side black ash wood veneer or textured metal frame (there's wood in the image, so a wood frame makes sense and would be cheaper)
- spacial relationships b/t frame, mats and print still being considered, but the above image is pretty close
feedback?

My personal approach is to never add a border through double matting - or any other way. It may make a certain kind of sense visually, but what you're doing is adding to the artwork. If Tyler wanted a border he would have put one in there himself. In your mockup, it's distracting. I know , it matches the blood. But it's overkill. Again, this is just my opinion, and a lot of people do tend towards that approach. I never will.
Having said that, if you were going to do that,look at the frame at the top of the page - it looks fantastic and the border is about a third the thickness of yours. White matting looks much better than grey. Feels more consistent with the wintery feel of the print itself. I think it would look fine with a black frame, maybe even better. But that's the only thing I would change. Just my opinion. Good Luck!
