Walmart or Michaels....Oh wait, you guys don't go to the big evil empire big corporation stores.

I've also tried framing some myself using DIY frames bought from Micheals

Oh wait......looks like Rob Gee is wrong again

I have a bunch of standard Ikea frames that fit pretty well. Sometimes the dimensions don't match exactly, but it generally doesn't matter, either because it's a white poster border on a white background or the mat only cuts off a fraction of an inch from the sides or top and bottom.  
 
 I have a bunch of these, which I think are great.    
 
 Although I haven't used them myself, www.americanframes.com is widely recommended.  You select the frame and mat color, give them the dimensions you want, and they send you the frame.
 
 Otherwise, frame shops are always running specials and you can usually find a decent deal on a simple black frame with white mat.

Tell me more about this special...I'd be all over that. [/b]

The one in Arlington is actually cheaper.  PM me and I can give you some rough directions on how to get there...and possibly their name if I can remember.  I think its KM Custom Framing, but I could be wrong.

 the lovely folks at Paul Frank made just about a handful of those for some Donnas/Alkaline Trio Halloween shows in Chicago a few years ago, and mailed me one of the few.  it's always great when they do band collaborations.
 
 Cernoch.  that's an awesome poster.  nicely done.

I have to respectfully disagree....that Refuse/Eden poster is just out and out annoying.

Pay no mind to Mankie; he's just a surly old man.
 
 The last poster he bought was for Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel at Dunstable Civic Hall in 1973.

 I dropped $179 or so to have the guy at Eastern Market (7th st. S.E.) do this one. It looks awesome though with blue and green matting.
