It apparently will not harm the print but there is a possibility that in the future it could come undone and I would have to take it back in to get fixed. So far it looks great. If you are thinking about doing something similar just make sure that they don't drymount it.
I would make sure that it's hinged on linen tape, double sided tape *can* be removed, but it's a bitch to remove entirely.
this:
is waaaaaaaaaaaay different from this:
The latter requires heat to remove and can leave residue.
Floating such large and heavy prints is risky, no matter how it's attached to the backing board.

Yea, I am not entirely sure how it is done but I put full trust in the shop who frames for me. They know whats up and frames everything to gallery standards.

I'm having a 30x40 print floated/hinged right now. Real heavy weight paper too!
Make sure you never turn your hinged artwork on it's side or art side down. Good way to break some hinges.

Has anyone else heard of a Love Is The Answer litho? Or is this a bootleg? I would add another edition for this but I am not sure if it's official or not.

I have a Love is the Answer poster litho. It has the Einstein figure on top of graffiti in the same fashion as the Chaplin New York Litho poster.

I have that one too, it's just that I have never seen this one before, it's just like the original Love Is The Answer, and was wondering if it was legitimate or not.

The Love is The Answer "litho" is a fake that was printed by someone and sold in the parking lots of Phish shows across the country...
he was also selling Banksy - Stop and Search fakes.
Funny that Waterwheel had them and sold them, the guy was charging $20 a piece.

I can validate that. I saw this guy in Alpharetta last weekend and he had oodles of them. I didn't even ask.

Priceless.

i can't attest to him selling bootleg mbws, but he sure can cut a rug to some phish bra.

SHRN? I'm a little slow and need things spelled out.
I never know what people are talking about when they abbreviate.
