The Framers

Another bit of framing for snap galleries, rather nice Limited fine art prints of Peter Blake’s artwork for Paul Weller’s album Stanley Road, signed by them both!

Currently setting up this exhibition we’ve framed for Snap galleries in London. Been a great show to work on, some amazing photographs and also featured in The Guardian!

We also framed these amazing Barbarella photos also being shown as part of the exhibition for Snap.

Handled this print very carefully! Just conservation framed this Ltd Signed Banksy print, framed a few of these over the years, we even used to stock Banksy ages ago when his prints sold for under £100, always a bit scary these days his work fetches silly money!

Just framed this set of  Vintage Polish Circus posters for a shop in London, done a few of these over the years this is a particularly good set, love the illustrations on these, reminiscent of The Beatles Yellow Submarine.

We just framed this rather sweet set of prints by Bold&Noble for a showcase at Twycross Zoo, who are planning on opening a contemporary gallery space. Sounds like a great idea and hopefully a really interesting upcoming program of exhibitions, it would be easy to go pretty obvious with a zoo gallery but if these prints are anything to go by it has potential to be a really interesting space.

New year, new VAT! We’ve been busy framing lots of new stock for the gallery, we’ve started to invest in some nice classic and vintage prints to compliment the illustration we’ve been promoting over the years. These are all a little more affordable than some of the limited prints we regularly stock so you can still get some great pieces on your wall for your budget in this present economy. We’ve got some vintage adverts, B-movie posters, propaganda posters, music/rock prints as well as a few classic pop art and japanese woodblock illustration prints to name a few.

Here’s a few Pictures of our premises, we have 2 large well stocked workshops and our front of house gallery space. As you can see we have a large array of frame samples for you to choose from and we are constantly getting new prints and bits and peices in the gallery, why not come visit us.

I was lucky enough to attend the Fame Festival in Grottaglie, Italy last year, an amazing yearly International street art exhibition that takes over the whole town. I went with Lucy Mclaughlan and the Beat 13 gang who have been a regular contributers to this event, even ended up helping hang some of the exhibition. The festival is organised through the great independent screen print studio chromie, Needless to say on my return I ended up framing a few pieces that were produced as part of the event by a selection of renowned artists and illustrators, such as Blu, Eric the dog, Dave Kinsey and JR. Here’s some pics of the amazing work we framed, including an incredible 31 colour screenprint by Dalek.

Here’s a little film i made of our adventure, featuring some of the street pieces.

And this is an animation done by the incredibly talented Blu, made in an abandoned monestary in Grottaglie, during a previous years festival.

Last year we framed some work by respected local photographers for the grand opening show of the newly refurbished Midlands Arts Centre, in Birmingham. A fantastic cultural space in the grounds of Canon Hill park, if you don’t know it i recommend a visit, nice new theatre and exhibition space too.
