Congrats froz, enjoy!

[jonpud]

Nice one, what a buzz!!!! Like loosing your virginity!!

Bagsunlimited is where I get all my stuff.

Quality.

And as for backing boards, you can pick up really large pieces of foamcore at any Michaels or AC Moore.

if you live in US, call a Michaels (Arts & Craft store) around you and find out when they are running their 50% off entire order sale (they do it like once a month). I have had jobs that were like $700 for $350 all the time. For a standard black wood frame (good width) and good quality glass you can have it framed for around $150 during on of these sales

hope this helps

screw michaels for framing. Go to your local independant framer. Do it right. Conservation matting, backing, glass.

[froz]

Traded my faile - My Confessions for it. Thanks for all of the replies everyone. I was thinking of michaels too. I will have to check out dickblick.com and see what they have for me.

I will probably have to do with unsigned prints for now until the new release, really would like to get a signed one ;D

[rosstierney]

unsigned morons doesn't come up too often, good swap

personally, i prefer the faile

NO NEED !!!!

[Heavyconsumer]

Congrats on the Morons. I'd like one of those too. It was the print that finally got me on the road to collecting, although I was much too late to get that one at source - kinda funny really, as I don't think it's the prettiest print around, it's one of the few that I'd want for it's message more than it's appearance, fucking brilliant! Enjoy!!!

I know this guy, cant help to rouse him once in a while.
I still say NO Michaels.

[tmccarthy41]

^^ he finds enjoyment in firing me up

Congrats Froz - great print. Now just don't skimp on the framing - even if it takes a few months for you to save up for it. It will be worth it in the long run!

[lee3]

How odd, Froz, congratulations on your piece and today i too share your joy though by looking at your initial post i can see that you've got a full day's head start on me. The wife is out with girlfriends and the kid is fast asleep. Meanwhile I get to enjoy some delicious sushi with good tunes staring at the lovely Heavy Weaponry that finally arrived today after some mechanical issues with a Fedex plane earlier this week. It's so nice to grab a piece from an artist that is new to one's collection and it makes me want another but that damn cash part of the equation will keep me stalled at one for now. Still, I'm delighted to be here enjoying this painting with a delicious burg and the new marco benevento disc. I could get used to this...

[froz]

I agree with you heavyconsumer. As the piece isnt the most visually appealing, i do find the message brilliant aswell!

Congrats as well Lee3, it does feel good to receive a new piece. I promise I will not skimp on the framing of it, I now have to figure out matte color, border style and color, and cost so i can get this thing up! Will keep everyone informed of the progress! ;D
