hooooray ;D Ian Francis arrived......no Micallef's though and i still need to pop out and pay the VAT for Swoon before they'll let me have it....but i'm afraid to leave the computer in case you know what

[rydal]

Hi DM&P, which Ian Francis have you received? Not one the ones from Collectors Prints that were waiting for Ian to sign is it - I've been waiting for my Hotel/Porn for almost 6 weeks now! No GIWTBB for me today either.

[dmandpenfold]

Yes it is one of the 250 editions, i'm slowly collecting them all as finances permit. It was Girl with Cat Grosny and it has a signature on it, but it is #2, maybe they had a certain amount of prints signed and are waiting for him to do the rest, however i did order it about 4 or 5 weeks back.

Mine's arrived and it was number 623. Chuffin like a muffun!

[bruns4]

Never have them delivered at home...as the light fingered lot round my way would be off using it as light sabre. ;D

how did the wife like the the AMP ?

[Imoy-San]

I was on the phone to Gary (Misterframeman) when she came in. There was a pause, then a smile, and then a "yes, I like it".

As for hanging it on the wall, she said a firm "no!" She wants the piece at ground level, where it catches ambient light, which gives the room depth, and shows off the craftmanship of the frame job. Don't ask....

Cheers DM&P, I'll give it another week and then chase them up to see what's happening.

If somebody could PM me Gary's number (mrframeman), that would be cool. I did have it, but lost it.

Anyone spoken to him? Is he overun with work?

[jonpud]

Not been home today so don't know if mine has been delivered or not (Well the label that tells me to go to sorting office)

But reading through the posts and mainly directed to CBL, firstly that Applause looks stunning, secondly I ain't a clue how you get yours framed so cheap!! My JD cost £300, FF about £270 and my 21stCL was £400! (all discounted prices as well!) All of them are framed with conservation grade materials, all with uv filter glass. My 21CL also got treated to non reflective glass which is simply amazing and museum standard cotton mounting boards, do you buy ready made frames or are they cut to size!?

[bobbymeachamjr]

Fucking incredible. My wife just looked over my shoulder as I was looking at CR's post, and said 'Oh yes, a print arrived for you this morning I've only been sat here an hour, with the tube ignored in the hallway. Just checked it out and it is stunning. A fantastic piece of work.

[ABC]

I work so close to POW that I could spit on it if I wanted to (have wanted to a few times). No print arrived today though. Hoping there isn't a clued up mail room clerk with light fingers.

[Richard]

Who keeps negging me for no reason?

[romanywg]

Arrived this morning. It is a beauty!

Anywhere between £100 - £200, my Applause cost £209 but I do live in a relatively rural area where there's not much competition and my framers do a good job, I think you'd be pushed to get it done for less than £100 though.

The old adage comes to mind... you get what you pay for and that is especially true with framing
My Applause also cost over £200 to frame in london.

If you want acid free mounts, conservation mount board and UV glass etc you have to make this clear when you make the order or you will be quoted the cheapest option which is not always the best for you beloved prints.

the first pieces i had were done framed at a bog standard frame shop and were very cheap, then when i had them quote me to frame them to conservation standard they were twice to three times the price.

and more if you have Museum glass

I was raped by a framing service for the last time a couple of years ago and now I frame my prints myself. Applause set me back £60 in the materials that I just ordered for it (conservation / acid free mount boards and backing boards, glare free glass, extruded aluminum powder coated frame...though I buy some of the components in quantity to get some savings). I had a quote for £240 to frame my Toxic Mary using the same materials on a smaller print.

Pleased as punch. I'm off for a jolly to Prague tomorrow so would have been oblivious until Sunday night. It really is a cracka.

[kbuzu]

The print looks amazing!! I am one of the many who missed out on this. If anyone has an extra one, or one they want to sell, please PM me. I have lost faith in F5!!

LMAO! ;D

Sounds just like my missus Stuey! I remember once I was waiting for a bit of vinyl to turn up. Was getting quite annoyed at the delay, and just before I started chasing it up I found it in the cupboard under the stairs!!! I got the wonderful, "Oh I'd forgot I put that there!" Bless her!

I was quite happy waiting for my print, but since people have started showing off their beautiful new arrivals my patience is running low! Hurry up Mr Postman

BTW I think mine's in the late hundreds for those who are trying to work out which one's are being sent first (personally I don't think they've got any sort of order when being mailed out though).
