Been a while since we all talked posters. What are ggw and grotty framing these days?
 
 I just had this one framed - it will look great in my newly renovated basement

Is that Jay Ryan?
 
 One of his old Fugazi posters was on eBay a few weeks ago.  The bidding was at $250 with three days left.
 
 
 I haven't bought much lately, but I did get some posters from Aesthetic Apparatus gallery shows and a Lucero gig:

yes, I bought it from him at the Andrew Bird show....he was a really cool guy - I was $5 short but was chatting to him about posters in general and my collectiona nd his work and he said not to worry about it
 
 I also bought this at the same show

so how much are you guys spending on framing?  I have a pile of posters that are still in tubes because framing is so expensive, is there a cheap way that looks good?

it ain't cheap - I've been relying heavily on the 49.95 special at the Framing Studio in Van Ness for alot of my stuff
 
 I've also tried frmaing some myself using DIY frames bought from Micheals but your poster needs to have the right dimensions and even that way glass for the frame can be pricey

Walmart or Michaels....Oh wait, you guys don't go to the big evil empire big corporation stores.  Ok then, your probably not gonna find a cheap way to do this at all the underground framing shops.

yeah - get them done professionally - its pricey, but you can find places for under $40.  There is place on Lee Highway out in Arlington that was running a special of $35 per frame.  They did five or six of mine, and look great.
 
 As far as local poster makers, I really like Anthony Dihle's work:
