A Balanced Frame Design For Oakland Street Artist’s Letterpress
We framed another local artist’s piece: GATS ( graffiti against the system ) . This 12×12 letterpress has such beautiful paper edges, we had to float it and just use a contemporary satin finish black frame to keep the Balance, which is also the name of this print. Please checkout @gatsptv for this street artist’s […]

Framing Art That Deals With The Human Body
It is Friday and we love the way this custom frame we just finished before the weekend starts! The washy finish of the wooden frame mimics the movement of the psychedelic painting and the super clean 8 ply mat creates the perfect contrast in this frame design. Also, when we posted this in our @underglassframing […]

Frames for Art of Color and Form

We used a clean gallery cap frame […]
