Framed Portrait of Volodymyr Zelenskyy by Joan Baez

Grateful for the opportunity to frame this portrait of Volodymyr Zelenskyy, painted by Joan Baez. The portrait was released in a limited-edition series of 250 prints signed and numbered by the artist with all proceeds to benefit the International Medical Corps. Our client was looking for a natural looking maple color frame and we love […]

Resin Covered Collages On Canvas

These resin covered collages on canvas bring us so much joy! Our friend, nature lover, artist and amazing human being @tombob131 created dozens of these works made from magazine clippings in his Alabama home during the last months of his life. He then gave them to his friends and family. We still miss you a […]

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 […]

Happy Birthday Keith Haring!

Happy Birthday Keith Haring! He would have been 64 today. We got to frame these two portraits of the artist! This first image is a photograph by Herb Ritts and the second image is a Shepard Fairey Letterprint. We chose frames that worked with the print and paper colors, keeping the art the center of […]

Frames for Art of Color and Form

We finished this week with two amazing pieces of art: Artist Alex Voinea’s colorful painting called for a frame design where his art could freely continue its movement and we thought a floating technique and a thin whitewash Ash hardwood frame, with matching spacers would just do that! We used a clean gallery cap frame […]

Framing Technique: Floating Art

We loved framing this wonderful art by Cyrielle Gulacsy @cyrielle_gulacsy and it is the perfect example for a custom picture framing technique called floating. With this way of framing you can highlight the edges of the art paper by lifting it up from the mat it gets mounted on. It is also a great way […]

Warm Wood Frame for classic and contemporary art

For this print by artist Francisco Ojeda we chose a warm wood frame. With a white beveled mat and the square look of this beautiful wall frame a classic and contemporary look is best. We’ve been framing art for San Francisco’s communities since the 80s , come show us your next framing projects! We are […]

We found the perfect frame color for this painting!

Sometimes monochromatic is the way to go! Just like the artist chose for the painting an overall grey tone, we continued for the floater frame with a matching grey and decided that it is the perfect extension for the art. Custom framing can work with contrast and sometimes it is better to keep it calm. […]

Antique scroll and oversized print on canvas frames

We really loved framing these two large, oversized pieces of art: The colorful 90” x 40” print on canvas by @android_jones is actually just a smaller part of a 43´ x 15` mural! For the antique scroll we built a cradle and were able to hide a dowel so we didn`t have to remove it. […]
