Using Shape and Color in Frame Design
We do pick up a lot on shapes and color in our frame designs! For this piece we used the shapes of the roofs as a guide for the actual frame shape. The art itself is pretty busy when you look close enough so we floated the paper on a mat and gave it a […]

We think this risograph print is from a series called GIRLS, by Jenn Woodall. See more of this illustrator’s and comic creator’s work @funeralbeat .

Framing Your Fine Art Large Painting
Framing your large painting? No problem, we love to work on designing a custom frame for any art. For this oil painting by @veridiana_leite , Vigilia, 2018, we loved the flow of shapes and forms and the color palette.
