I'd love to have your views on what mounts / frames to go with too.

also check out how His signature has altered... probably summat to do with him sitting and signing 500 prints for JD...

It is strange theough of the 8 micallef's I own, not one sig looks like another.

... wow ... that harajuku print looks stunning. You have me thinking evil thoughts about scouring ebay and spending much money I don't have.

Just returned from the framers leaving my Judgment Day with them, I went for a float mount in black of about 1/2 inch with a black moulded wood frame with worn looking gold gilding towards the inside. It's a nod towards the rennaisance stylings and think it's going to look great. I'll post a pic in a couple of weeks if anyone's interested!

PS frame the Judgment Day and let me have the Harajuku

That Harajuku signature looks like he printed out his name, and for JD he is using handwriting. My guess is it was taking too long to print his name letter by letter so he made the switch. Smart move with 500 of those to sign. On a related note, I have a book that was limited to 1000 and the artist (basquiat) signed each one. The sig just looks like a wavy line.

Excellent, thanx lads

You got any ideas on framing it?

[ABC]

Lesroy, Im about to get the exact same two Framed, Have you seen the eyestorm prints on the wall at the same place, in the flesh? The Micallefs look stunning float mounted in White frames thats what im going for, as for the JD i may go for a cream frame with the same float mount. Also there are two Micallefs in the photo album on the Ebay forum in the same manor, very nice.

[lesroy]

ABC... yeah I think thats what I will do... thanx for the links to the other pics. Have you seen the way I framed my HFUNG ? That was floated in a white box frame... I think that is going to be how I shall do the Harajuku.

Still undecided about the JD !!

What prices have you been given for the pair to be framed?

[ABC]

£120 each for Micallefs, as you know they are very big.

[willamsa]

Here's my Girl Tokyo, float mounted in white spray frame, to give you an idea

ignore the two holes in the wall above it where I haung it way too high initially!!

[willamsa]

Here detail of the frame and shows it floated - even though its a big print the floating looks great

[lesroy]

Willamsa.... change the size of the pics mate.

If you dont already, use www.imageshack.com its got all the resize options for you... I wanna see your Girl tokyo it all her glory!

She's massive too aint she?

[ABC]

The best way to float a Micallef, in a white frame!!

[lesroy]

I agree ABC... it seems every single Eyestorm piece (not just the Micallef's) is floated on white and in the chunky white wooden frames.... They really look the part though!

[willamsa]

Thats a little bigger

[willamsa]

just in case you're wondering the white dots are the lights from my christmas tree !!

[lesroy]

Thats looks absolutley lovely mate! Really impressed ... just need to paint your walls (me too) and you'll be sorted!


Respect

[willamsa]

anyone know a good painter ?

[ABC]

Micallef?

[willamsa]

how much do reckon he charges for a living room ?

[ABC]

A lot

[willamsa]

more than £150 ? - thinking of eggshell white, with a few angel bombers, a girl in red dress, some lovin from the 21st century, and a walk in victoria park - shouldn't take more than a couple of hours I'd have thought . . .

[corblimeylimey]

2 hours work you think, £150ish on offer, hell, I'll paint your room for £75 an hour!

[lesroy]

Right lads.... thanx for your help.

"My Walk in Harajuku" has just been dropped off at the framers.... should be back on Wednesday... I shall post piccies
