I've never hung a frame (print, artwork, poster, etc.) before and was wondering if fellow members here could impart some advice on how to do before I begin hammering nails into my wall?

Before you blindly hammer into empty drywall or electrical wiring, use an electronic stud finder.

Make sure you do the whole 'hey this really does work!' whilst pointing it at yourself joke to annoy significant other/children (pets work if desperate).

ok, did anyone else request a replacement from Mondo regarding the TDKR print? they replied after a few email exchanges and are gonna send me a replacement. The only thing is that i have to return the one they shipped out originally. kinda annoying since i've been getting it flatten expecting the second one to be shipped for free, lol...guess not.

they were making people return the TDKR prints (rather than destroy them)... why would you care if the first is flat if you didn't care about it, they all roll nice and easy whether they are flat or tubed...

Then they're just going to end up reprinting the majority of them as a whole lot of people will try to game the system to get more than one poster.

In my experience, when a supplier/artist is nice enough/able to get you another print to replace a damaged one, they usually ask you to ship the first one back. They want to avoid the possibility of the misprint/damaged prints showing up in the aftermarket.

Depends, I've also just been asked for photos of the destroyed print with the number visible.

And I HIGHLY doubt the majority of people ship their TDKR prints back... maybe 1%. Maybe

i already mentioned in a previous post that i did not intend to return it cuz it didn't look that bad. i only asked them about the defect and they're offering replacements in the next email. but i'll send it back since the return is simple.

indeed. also, i asked them about the numbering as well. not sure i want to return it if it's just a blank without a limit on it. might be less authentic if i wanna sell it in the future.

nah, it'll be a numbered edition, they may re-number it the same as the one you got or something, but Mondo won't ship you something unnumbered.

That's what they hope and want usually. Instead of going through the trouble of having to replace, making people send it back will reduce the amount they have to do most likely. Lot of retailers do this for their various product replacements on purpose

Mike Mitchell tweeted this preview of his fifth piece for Gallery1988's Breaking Bad show.

Need this one. His Willy Wonka portrait is one of my favorite pieces.

Edit: Sorry about the lack of an image. Posting from my phone.

I'd been waiting to hear from Mondo about never receiving my Avengers print and it turns out they were waiting to see if the print turned back up at their end. They've printed me a new one, shipped it out and provided a custom number to track it.

So yay!

Yup, the best one ever by Rheem Davis

7422644344_e349bc0b16_b.jpg


Not easy to get and goes for quite alot. I was able to get one for a decent but high price but that was because it had edge damage (was able to frame it out).

He recently did this new one below because of so much demand for the above one. It's similar but not as awesome as the original, but you can get it for a fair price still unlike the above print that your going to pay 400+ for. Rheem Davis does amazing work with the metalic inks that the pictures don't convey either as in person hey come out as almost 3D looking. The glove for example on the top one feels like its popping out of the picture when you see it in person.

Is that gonna be an addition to the Breaking Gifs' line of prints?
Click to expand...

I believe all the pieces in the show are new and not part of the Breaking Gifs series. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Also, I like that Raid poster, regardless of not having seen the film. The credits could go but I like the idea.

Either Page Monitor is acting up or Mondo is just fucking with us because it keeps going off over some minor change over and over lately. :(

Edit: Like clockwork, it just went off 4 minutes after this post!

How do you guys go about framing your prints?

Do you do it yourself or get them professionally done?
Click to expand...

What prints I have framed, I've done it myself using Displays 2 Go or el cheapo Art to Frames.

There are a couple of prints I have that I do want to have professionally done or pay more for better frames for archival purposes, but I never get around to it.

At this point, I'm looking more into storage solutions. Nearly everything I have that isn't up is rolled up. I really want a flat file to store everything.

yup, my local store is pretty killer in that regard too. Right next door to a strip club, but my framing is so cheap compared to what Aaron Bros or something would charge, and the work is just as good if not better

what would you consider cheap? i hardly get anything framed professionally since it might cost more than the print and frame combined.

I get 24x36's done for around $60. You will pay 150-300$ (even with their supposed 50-60% off sales) at the big retail chains and you will wait several weeks to over a month for it. My local dude gets it done in 24hrs.

Well I also don't go for any fancy frames or expensive options. I usually stick to simple nice looking frames and basic everything. I've paid much more if I wanted to get highly specific with a unique frame, special matting, etc.
