The Framers

We’ve framed a lot of this chaps beautiful film poster prints, he does some amazing detailed illustrations and seems popular amongst our customers, check out his work here

A selection of rather nice screen prints from Keep Calm Gallery in London prints we now stock in our gallery

Lovely signed Quentin Blake print we framed, a treat as I’m rather a fan of his work, and i play the Banjo!

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!

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.

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.

Re-posting some old lost links, this was a show we framed last summer for our good friend and talented artist Lucy Mclauchlan. This was her last big solo show at Lazarides Gallery in central London, it was a great show, good turn out and great artist!
