Yes, a link from the clusterfuck thread. Francovilla or something? I didn't see the image, but heard about it.
francavilla is amazing though - one of the best guys in comics at the moment IMO - did you see his 1930s/1970s Batman series? they were fantastic - was gutted when he pulled out of TB last year (or was it the year before? I forget)adamlikesthings wrote:Yeah not as blatant as the punisher one, still cuts a similar image. have to say though the francavilla is the better piece

Stayed at the Palace Hotel , who's tiles inside are to die for , what a beautiful building inside and out, as well as a lot of other "Old Money" exquisitely built gothic beauties
Take a bow architectural Manchester , shame it pissed down all Friday , just like being back in Wales again

To cut a long story short he argued it wasn't their fault (which it quite clearly was) and were pretty rude about it (banned Chris from the shop)! 
I had heard that all black core mounts were not acid free but could be wrong - still I am amazed it affected the paper so quickly - that really sucks. I am just going to use someone local I think as I do want the UV resistant acrylic or glass.Hellraiser wrote:It certainly was and I was indeed caught up in the wedding1nkling wrote:What happened to the great deal on frames we were getting going?

I am happy to facilitate this now but two things need to be brought to your attention.
Mainly, it turns out that they had been selling us a particular mount as acid free which wasn't. It was a black core mount which they claimed was acid free. We discovered it wasn't when Chris swapped out his Reservoir Dogs to find a black shadow around the border
Eventually they settled with Chris when they realised they had been mis-selling the mount boards which were not acid free.
Secondly the cost of the UV acrylic has gone up.
If you want a white core mount with normal glass we can still get a deal. If you wish to use this framer! I would suggest that they are ok as the white core is acid free and you will be framing the art yourself so care will be taken.
Let me all know your thoughts and I will either forget the plan or crack on with it!

One just went unsold again on ebay.UK and seems to be getting cheaper and cheaper - might be worth a message?Hellraiser wrote:Has anyone got a Bertmer Hellraiser that they are happy to get rid of?
I am hunting down a few things I want to frame and I want this to make a little Hellraiser wall.
