Banksy Stop and Search Print, by thetruth55 on Apr 26, 2008 7:48:35 GMT 1, P.S. Can I get some feedback on my framing job (posted back on page 1) of this thread? Please don't rip it apart too much, because if what OTHERS think about MY taste is bad...I might not be able to stomach it and have to let mine go (frame and all) for 525 pounds. My honest opinion thetruth is that the blue mount is a bit too overwhelming - too much of it. And I don't like rounded frame. But I applaud your effort to do something different.
spirit, thanks for the honest opinion. i always like to bring out elements of the print in the frame. thus, egg blue to math the gloves on the cop. and a rounded frame to suit the rounded boots of the officer. it's just me, but i like bringing the frame to life (but only to a point...no ornamental stuff for me).....throwing prints with so much white negative space in it onto a white mount, white box....just looks boring..  ..too much white makes me doze off into clouds and forget what i'm looking at.....just to clean...not edgy enough.....

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by funyoung on Apr 26, 2008 7:50:20 GMT 1, Do you 'designers' never take the space in which the art is to be hung into account?
I am no designer but assumed that is what client meetings might be for.
(Or do you all have minimalist, white box houses so it matters not?)

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by spenie1975 on Apr 26, 2008 12:16:42 GMT 1, Would be nice to see some framing ideas from all the people who have just slagged off everybody else's attempts, all safe white box frames I would imagine.
My choice was also influenced by the positioning of the frame.
The walls are Egg shell blue and two brown. The frame was going on a brown wall so decided to drag the blue from not only the gloves but also from the frame. I am impressed with the end result and to me that's all that matters. I've to look at it every day and still remain impressed.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by rurualhick on Apr 26, 2008 17:43:56 GMT 1, WILL REPOST THIS IMAGE FROM MEATBAG BECAUSE HE REALLY NAILED IT.
Y'ALL SO CALLED DESIGNERS AND GUYS WANTING TO BE MORE "CREATIVE" WITH THE FRAMING, Y'ALL CAN'T SEEM TO COMPREHEND THAT 1+1=2 AND NOT 3, THAT THERE IS A THING CALLED COLOR THEORY, AND WHAT Y'ALL ARE VIOLATING IN TERMS OF VISUAL AESTHETICS IS NOT A MATTER OF INTERPRETATION. THE MORE YOU DEVIATE FROM MEATBAGS FRAME THE MORE ATROCIOUS YOUR FRAME IS. AND THE ARGUMENT THAT AS LONG AS "YOU" LIKE IT DOESN'T HOLD. JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE BAD TASTE DOESN'T MEAN IT ACTUALLY LOOKS GOOD.

I don't think I or anyone else has a right to tell you what you should think or say ruralhick. However you manner of presenting your opinion as if it is universal fact is rather inapproriate in this environment. Art appreciation is not a numeric science and there is no right or wrong. So how come you're always right and so caustic with those who don't share your view and always write in cap's? Answer - you're an attention-deprived TW_T! Fill in the blank. Just my opinion of course!

You may want to check around your area and find a new framer. He could easily use Japanese paper with natural wheat or rice paste as an adhesive so the mount would be entirely reversible. Spaced properly, you can float massive prints and they will stand the test of time as far as staying in place. Archival framers are the only way to go with more expensive prints!

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by Mister Frame Man on Apr 28, 2008 14:49:18 GMT 1, With this particular print, I would float on a charcoal backing board, and mount 1/4" away from the deckled edge with 1/8" of duck egg blue and a top mount to match the paper!
However, I am not going to ram my opinion down anyone elses throat. I don't consider there to be a "wrong" way or a "right" way to frame a print - Unlike a lot of people on this thread!

Here Here. Frame the print how you want to and how you think looks good. You're gonna be looking at it day in day out.

Banksy Stop and Search Print, by solar77 on Apr 28, 2008 15:44:12 GMT 1, Well, I need to sell my Stop & Search. It has full prov and is in perfect condition.
I am in the US, but can ship overnight to the UK with Fedex. Looking for an offer around ebay price, but am willing to discount a bit to avoid ebay fees, etc.
Not looking for trade - I need the cash to pay off art that is currently charged to my credit card (never a good idea).
PM me if you're interested.
