Malty tasking

We love framing vintage ads and this is a less commonly framed, newspaper ad from the 1970’s! The Blitz-Weinhard Brewing Company is a historic Portland, Oregon-based brewery founded in 1856. It is best known for pioneering America’s craft beer movement with Henry Weinhard’s Private Reserve in 1976, surviving through Prohibition by bottling sodas, and making a very generous offer to pump free beer through a city fountain in 1880 but ultimately the city rejected their offer. What could’ve possibly gone wrong??

We wanted the framing to feel like part of the original ad and era! The gold powder brings just the right amount of warmth and antique gold tone to highlight the colors in the newspaper without distracting. We floated the newspaper to expose the entire ad and celebrate the condition after over 50 years! Most importantly, we used UV protection to keep the print and color in the same condition forever!

These rugged streets

We love the dreamy, timeless style of Azerbaijani painter ! Fidan is currently based in San Francisco and her work often explores memory, identity, and psychological landscapes. Her style is characterized by a blend of Orientalism, Surrealism, and Ornamentalism, frequently incorporating symbols of her national culture, such as intricate rug patterns. Across her different mediums and techniques her voice is clear.

We wanted the framing to feel like a continuation of her work; pulling on the vibrant colors and texture throughout. We used a wood frame with an oxidized finish that gives this beautiful patina’d feel like the finish was found at a bazar but on a modern float frame shape, such a great balance! The green creates such a nice contrast to the pink wall allowing the painting to be the full focus!

The feeling is muletual

Love the balance of old world feel and modern grit in this gauche painting by Croatian artist ! This piece is from a solo exhibition featuring strips and illustrations by Sekulic, a self-taught painter, illustrator, and novelist, curious by nature and fulfilling an innate desire to chronicle the underrepresented struggles of a generation lost to war.

We wanted to find that same balance in the frame design! We used a soft white 8 ply mat to create a sharp, modern line around the piece and give the painting breathing room. We used a hand finished walnut frame to bring the perfect balance of architectural structure, and organic handmade charm. Love how the simplicity and intricacy work together in harmony. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to keep the piece preserved, glare-free, and protected forever!

Get with the program

Love that we get to be a part of so many special memories! Our client was pulled on stage at the to participate in the Off-Broadway stage production of Privacy. Privacy was an immersive, technology-driven play heavily inspired by Edward Snowden’s surveillance revelations. In a massive departure from standard theatrical etiquette, audience members were explicitly instructed to leave their smartphones powered on during the performance to participate directly in the production’s digital narrative. She then received a signed playbill and handwritten postcard by !

We wanted the frame design to elevate the piece and pull your eye right in! We used a solid acrylic frame that creates this amazing depth in the perfect bright bold red! I love how the transparent frame created this echo line that looks like the lines in the playbill! We floated the bill and postcard to keep a super clean and modern feel and continue the play on depth. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to keep this memory vivid and beautiful forever!

Hey what Amate you?

We love framing Mexican folk art, the vibrant colors and imagery are as important as the handmade paper it’s made on! Amate paper is a traditional, fibrous bark paper made by boiling and pounding the inner bark of fig, nettle, and mulberry trees. It was originally used by the Aztecs and Maya for historical codices and rituals!

We love the flowing motion of the mythical bird and wanted to echo that in the frame design! This handmade, leafed frame is the perfect accent to the movement in the painting while contrasting and highlight the bold colors throughout. We floated the painting on a blue fabric to expose the beautiful natural papers edge to create depth and continue the texture. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to keep the piece preserved, protected and glare-free forever!

She’s not an elaborate-doodle

We’ve had the honor of framing quite a few David Shrigley prints and paintings! is a British artist known for his humorous and satirical work across multiple mediums. His signature style is a simple, childlike drawing that’s often poignant and sarcastic. Shrigley’s work uses humor to explore everyday human interactions and situations, creating self-reflexive pieces that remind viewers of what makes us human.

Our client wanted to lean into the foofie-ness of this piece, and boy did we ever! We floated the work to create depth and a modern feel. We used a baroque, pink and glittery frame to really zhuzh it up! We used Optium Museum Acrylic and the anti-static quality really helped keep the glitter under control and to keep the piece preserved and protected forever!

In full bluem

We’ve had the pleasure of framing a bunch of ’s work and it makes us happy every single time! Curi is a Latin American artist and illustrator originally from Argentina, now based in Barcelona. He’s known for his bold, colorful, and playful visual style, often featuring exaggerated human figures and hand gestures with thick outlines and vibrant palettes. He’s done everything from animation for major studios to collaborations with global brands. Whatever he’s working on, you recognize his distinct style right off!

We wanted to keep the frame design nice and clean and gallery feeling! We used a chunky maple frame to keep it feeling proportionate with the exaggerated scale and size of the piece! We floated it deep to expose the beautiful paper and movement created by the printmaking process. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to keep the weight down at such a large size, preserve the colors from fading and eliminate glare so you can truly enjoy the piece!

Rose from the Dead

C’mon now, this frame is just perfect for this poster! Our client brought in this concert poster from the show he attended at the a few years back! We are so grateful he was willing to trust us with his prized possession and our vision for the piece! From the texture, to the color, to the circles in the corner detail pulling on the logo and the moon, they’re a match made in heaven. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to preserve and protect this poster and amazing memory forever, man!

House the view from there?

We love breathing new life into old paintings! This painting by Robert T. Romano was in the Bristol Art Museum Jury Show in 1985! This piece is so striking and timeless, it feels like it could’ve been painted this year. While the painting is amazing, the framing needed some help. We built a beautiful solid walnut cap frame with matching wood spacers to recess the art and create this great sense of depth. I think the minimal clean line of the frame fits the vibe perfectly and allows the colors throughout the work to really stand out!

This is it

We love framing concert posters and The Strokes is one of those bands that I’m happy to hear anytime they come on! They came out when I was in high school and had such an impact introducing a whole new generation to a timeless kinda vintage sound. I was always playing in bands at the time with a 60s lean so it helped us out a ton to be understood by a much broader audience! Their image and heavy guitar sound was just what we all needed!

We love this poster from their show designed by infamous local poster master ! We wanted the frame to pull on the bright, punchy colors and angles in the piece. We used this hand painted frame that adds just enough contrast in texture and tone to really make the poster sing without stealing the spotlight! We used a black mat with an aqua core to pull on the color with just a subtle line around. We used Optium Museum Acrylic to kill the glare with so much black in the piece and preserve those colors forever!
