anyone else go for the matchboxes today? I was able to snag 4, and already got a shipping notice (and a 5$ refund for combined shipping I guess). looking forward to getting them

Good for a laugh this AM, but too pricey for me. Collab w/Arna Miller
http://sallycentigrade.storenvy.com/pro ... -ravi-zupa
Never Forget: 24x36 (standard frame size); French Paper 100lb "cement green"; 6 colors; limited edition signed and numbered by Arna Miller and Ravi Zupa.
$95
This poster style is inspired by circus posters. The idea for this poster began when my mom retired in 2010, and I draw a picture of an elephant escaping a burning circus tent into freedom for her. My mom doesn't "get" my art. But Ravi does, and together we developed this poster, both contributing to the concept, drawing and computer work. Marty Hammond helped me print this big poster with his professional equipment. Ravi and I have learned how to work together over the years, and it's getting better each time. However, during each collaboration I vow to never work with him again.

Collect them all. Before you Die®
My girlfriend picked me up a match book, I found a nice shadow box for it. Any suggestions how to mount it?
Excited to say that Ravi will be having a solo show at Hashimoto Contemporary in San Francisco later this year. To be placed on the advance collectors preview list, please email info at hashimotocontemporary dot com!

where'd you find it? been looking for a way to display them behind glass. I was thinking of running fishing line through them (not piercing the box, but through it), then running the line behind the box and through a piece of matting or foam core, and tying it in the back. seems like there would be an easier way, though. maybe some metal brackets?ciphe wrote:My girlfriend picked me up a match book, I found a nice shadow box for it.

Aaron Bros, it's a 3x4 shadow box
I was thinking that or getting really fine pins, placing them top and bottom and wedging the matchbox between them.
I couldn't tell how they did it from the framed versions that were available on the site.

Yeah, I couldn't figure out how they were mounted in the gallery ones either. Post up some pics if you figure something out
They are basically glued on in a way so they should never fall off. My advice would be to get a similar matchbox and practice/test before trying with the artwork. Museum Gel may be an option for easy removal and strong enough to support light to moderate weightchuckkeppler wrote:Yeah, I couldn't figure out how they were mounted in the gallery ones either.

hmmm...but they're signed on the back...won't that damage/remove the signature? not that you'll be able to see that when it's in the shadowbox.MrMurk wrote:They are basically glued on in a way so they should never fall off.

Use magnets. 1 in the box & 1 behind the matt or glued to the backing.ciphe wrote:Aaron Bros, it's a 3x4 shadow boxchuckkeppler wrote:where'd you find it? been looking for a way to display them behind glass.
