Obey print framing..., by connecta1 on Oct 12, 2011 20:56:13 GMT 1, ...ok, so in the light of the popularity of Gary's framing deal on the Geddes, I had a brainwave and suggested to him that there was a potential gap in the market UK/Europe-side for affordable framing options for Shep Fairey prints.
I have quite a few of these now, getting them all done 'properly' is unrealistic, and seems daft as they are a standard size, 18 x 24". I was thinking chunky black box frame & UV glass with a black fillet to lift the glass off the print. Fits the print with a couple of mm to spare with no need for a mount and maybe a catch on the back-board so you can swap prints in and out easily.
Anyhoo, he's suggested he can do these with the standard 40x40mm box frame and UV glass for ยฃ60, less with standard glass, and can do the full UV-option for ยฃ50 for orders of 10 or more... with Gary's blessing I'm throwing this open to the forum. Is this of interest to anyone?

Connecta has very generously offered to start a list, I can only guess but I presume the offer is shut once at least 10 pieces are committed.

To save to-ing and fro-ing, if you are interested, PM me how many you want, your email, postal address etc.
I'll compile the names and give the entire order over to Gary when I have 10+

Obey print framing..., by Gentle Mental on Dec 18, 2011 9:32:27 GMT 1, er... am new to this... appreciate if someone could clarify...
so we send the obey prints to gary and he mounts it with tape? (float?)
or the frame comes to you and we mount it ourselves like an Ikea?

At these prices it would be supplying the frame for you guys to fit the print yourselves.
Would be a very simple process though.

It looks like we might be nearing a New Year order.
Anybody else in to make up the magic 10?
Merry Christmas to you all.

Obey print framing..., by connecta1 on Feb 9, 2012 1:28:52 GMT 1, ...OK, first order for 10 just about ready to go, any more UK-based folk interested, please pm me ASAP.
Incidentally, this first order is based on me and one other buyer ordering 4 frames each, so actually only 4 buyers in total. Thought there'd be a lot more interest in this to be honest... especially with the scrum on here every time there's a release!

To get more orders could we post this on the main forum ?
This is a quiet corner of the board.
Or is it just that people don't frame Obeys
