My posters are available in a frame that is decent quality and appropriate for a poster. Posters are traditionally not matted; they are a form of commercial art, and not usually treated as an oil painting or watercolor and so forth would be; often displayed in a simple unobtrusive black frame. However, my micro business struggles under the weight (literal!) of providing frames; they are heavy, they come in giant heavy boxes, they take up a lot of room in my tiny studio. They are also shipped across the planet with all those implications - you can imagine - then from a warehouse to me and then from me to the purchaser.

Let’s skip that last step! and save the planet.

I am encouraging purchasers to do their own DIY framing; by purchasing a frame themself, the re-packaging in bubble wrap, shipping etc etc that I currently provide (and it is certainly reflected in the sales price) is reduced. The purchaser can just stop in at their favorite big box store next time they are out shopping and pick one up - the size 13” x 19” is widely available; and perhaps you will find a frame more in keeping with your decor preferences. It is very easy to DIY: just clean the glass with Windex, unroll my poster from the cardboard mailing tube (try not to touch the delicate printed surface) and pop the poster into the back of the frame.

Better for the environment!
(and for my back!)
