“There Are Little People Inside Me” by Takashi Murakami is presented in a vibrant maple veneer frame with an orange stain from Fotiou Frames. The artwork is floated over a black mat, creating bold contrast that enhances the piece’s energetic color palette and intricate detail. Museum Glass by Tru Vue and clear spacers provide exceptional clarity while giving the artwork subtle dimensionality within the frame.

Known for blending contemporary pop culture, anime influences, and traditional Japanese art, Murakami’s work often explores themes of beauty, playfulness, and mortality through his signature “Superflat” style.

We recently completed our largest project to date. A major factor in the project’s success was the strength of Walter Adams Framing’s long-standing vendor relationships.

The beautifully crafted solid walnut moulding was supplied by Picture Woods, Ltd., a company that uses sustainably harvested domestic hardwoods. We only partner with vendors that use the highest quality materials and value client-centered relationships. Shared values is part of what makes a working relationship successful.

These painted aprons by artist Suzy Barnard deserved equally sophisticated frames. We framed them in a shadowbox style using blue Heartland frames from House of Maes. The client wanted to see the artist's signature, which was on the back of one of the aprons. We had the signature scanned and reprinted on canvas by Hanson Digital Fine Art Printing & Art Scanning , which we then attached to the front of one apron. The aprons are stitched to a gray hand-wrapped mat with matching sidewalls, and glazed with conservation clear glass for protection and clarity.

A typical large framing piece might require approximately 14 feet of moulding. This project required over 3,000 feet of moulding. For context, that's nearly the length of 10 football fields placed end to end!

When Walter Adams Framing first partnered with acrylicize on a large-scale design project, the scope was already ambitious. Now, with the full project completed, the scale of what was accomplished has come fully into focus. Get a behind-the-scenes look at how the Walter Adams Framing team produced and installed 324 custom frames:

Producing 324 custom frames on a tight deadline requires infrastructure, flexibility, and smart resource management. Over 3000 ft of solid walnut moulding from Picture Woods, Ltd., over 2000 sq ft of Optium Museum Acrylic by Tru Vue, almost 2600 wedges for the corners, 1000 yards of tape, 600 screws... and so much more. See how we ensured that this large-scale project was handled with the same care and craftsmanship as a single bespoke piece.
