SF Midcentury Art Framed Contemporary Style
We used an ebonized walnut frame to keep with the black on black look but pull on the warmth in this Rex Ray artist proof print. Rex Ray was a SF based graphic designer and collage artist with a strong midcentury style. He graduated from SFAI ( San Francisco Art Institute ) and his work […]
Framing art prints for a “clean” look
We loved designing and framing these two prints here in our San Francisco Frame shops. The artists both chose to print on beautiful art paper with an interesting edge that we definitely wanted to show. So we hinged the papers to a mat that lifted the art up and kept the rest of the frame […]
Keith Haring
Art is for Everybody. That was Keith Haring’s philosophy and Shepard Fairey really took it to heart. This is a limited edition letterpress print of his hero based on a @paulo_fridman photo and a portion of the proceeds went to @aliforneycenter And Happy belated Birthday to Keith Haring, he would have been 63 yesterday!

Watercolor paintings in contemporary frame design
We framed these dreamy watercolor pieces by Kenyan artist @mumbi_muturi here in our San Francisco frame shop. Check out her dramatic and beautiful portrait photography, too! The teak frames added a bit of a softer contrast to the watercolor painings, and floating the art gives the frame design contemporary look.
Two is better than one
Two is better than one, with this beautiful @corey.rood photo that we cut into two to create a diptych and fill the space better. For these beautiful color photo prints we chose a warm wooden frame and an off white mat; a frame design that complements art and space and in this case keeps it contemporary. We […]
