This has been at the framers since the show in April! Much thanks to Gary and Dale for putting up with me and my demands.

I still think there are some alterations that need to be made as the lights do not really hit the print very well but am happy to leave that for a while and just enjoy the print!!

[arcam]

It doesn't work as well as the others if I'm honest.

[dmf]

Agreed. That's what i mean about some alterations. Black boarder needs to be further in so the lghts can be moved further in. I will get it done but like i said i have had no time to enjoy this print since i got it so its staying with me for a while

[grantb]

crazy stuff.
very nice framing though.

It's surely a beauty, you must have missed the print! However, I definitely agree that this just isn't looking quite right. You're spot on about moving the lights futher in so that they effect the image more than at present. The blueish coloured light is looking wrong too for me. Is it this bue in real life, or is that just in the photo?

Good shout for having the balls to try something different though. It certainly worked well with your Insect print. In fact I didn't like that image at all before seeing yours, but it really looked fantastic. I guess sometimes you're gonna hit the jackpot when you try new things and sometimes they're not exactly how you imagined them. Congrat's anyhow!


PS: A testament to how good Gary and Dale are, is how stunning this looks without the illumination!

[dmf]

Cheers buddy. Yeah it's not quite right is it The lights are actually bright white but give a blue effect when i take a picture. I don't give up easily as Gary knows I'll post again in a couple of months when i get the print back again.

[Heavyconsumer]

Lol! It's gotta be fun trying to get it just the way you want it!

[Heavyconsumer]

Fun for you of course, not for Dale!

hello,

i like the idea of this... can i ask how much does it cost to get light box framed? i might be silly in asking so apologies but did you have power source already behind frame?

does it effect the art print in anyway? little concerned the heat the bulbs produce marking the print... any info appreciate ... you have example of the paul insect about? it must look amazing with the lights completely off? i would be very happy with it... think best framing of the LTS print i have seen... made my day seeing....lol...s

[iwouldfollow youanywhere]

why do you like your prints in fish tanks?

[sahoria]

i think with right print would look very nice..... extra option of viewing a print....lol...s

[curiousgeorge]

Well done, it's brave of you to be the Guinea pig, are the ripples caused by the heat generated or were they already there?

[Mister Frame Man]

No heat in the frame as led's give off very minimum heat - Ripples caused by heavy inked print being rolled and tubed!

dmf and we have spent 10's of hours working towards perfection and will continue to do so until we get spot on.....Just like the Insect's!

[howlinjack]

that insect is fabulous MFM. top job.

[howlinjack]

Insect likes it too

[howlinjack]

imo i think youre gonna have a hard time lighting the walker as the background is too dark. the black will always cast a heavy reflection and the lights make it worse. the insect has a lighter background and bounces the light from the leds. what about ultra violet light? it wont affect the black as much and will make every bit of colour on that print zing. just a thought...

[sahoria]

can we see pics with the lights off of both this one and the paul insect please? thanks...s
