10FOOT ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข London Graffiti โข Street Art , by Onket on Apr 1, 2024 8:37:05 GMT 1, I think itโs really healthy that the discussion is about how best people want to display as opposed to selling / resale prices (which there has been no mention of, or should be). It seems that Actually have done a pretty good job at placing these in the hands in people who really wanted one to display on their wall. Every single person who I know that have got one (or getting one) is genuinely pumped. I have to commend them for even meeting buyers in person (considering they are tagging most of London!) as they will remember these people for future releases if they have hassle free transactions and know they can be trusted. Totally agree. ๐

10FOOT ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข London Graffiti โข Street Art , by Charlesworth on Apr 1, 2024 12:04:31 GMT 1, The frame material looks like it is made from box section or steel angle made from mild steel. very common material used in fabrication. These will have been MIG welded and then the raised welds ground back with a 4โ grinder with a sanding flap wheel which causes the shiny finish in the corners, you can grind back the welds as weld penetration fuses the parent material together. Typically things would get painted/ powder coated to give an even finish and protect the steel from rust. For me making the frames like this gives the print an urban industrial feel especially leaving the corners showing the grinding mark, also allowing the frames to patina/ rust over time making each one slightly different. It would have also been a very cost effective way of making multiple frames if you have access to a workshop with welding equipment and tools.

In the modern industrial style the finish is in many cases not applied. The frame is fantastic. I was unable to buy either the print or the frame. I think both are fantastic.
The artist's choice to leave the blacksmith's work in full view gives it an extra artistic feel that should be appreciated.
Kudos to 10FOOT. Best wishes to all those who bought it, including the industrial style iron frame, and who are happy to own this wonderful piece of art.
*Excuse my English. I hope you understand the meaning of my words.

Just giving some info on the method & construction of the frames. Itโs basic stuff but not everyone has experience with fabrication/ metal working.

Could get it darker through stronger solution.
