Check out this @elementalchoice print that someone chose a really rad skeleton Readymade for! They said that they were giving this to their friend who attended ECU and therefore really liked pirate stuff; even if that wasn't the case, we still feel l

We recently completed this awesome, custom "Gator Frame" for this awesomely cool alligator print!

This was a piece requested to be done as a framers choice, and Lance, the master framer here at the shop, did wonderful handiwork, as usual!

This is an awesome signed print by @ronbrownart that someone chose a ReadyMade for, which our framer's then selected a black core mat for to fill in the gap, and we think our collaborative efforts look pretty great! The mat is much more narrow than i

Look at this awesome Widespread Panic gig poster and it's awesome custom frame! We lovingly call this moulding "the piecrust moulding" for obvious reasons; we felt it fit the wacky, psychedelic imagery here. The print is signed and limited
