Right. Great, another $101 I need to spend.

By the by, Mr. Stack, Rob S. recently brought down (to Chicago) to me (Rob A.) two different Shellac show posters -- great stuff, sir.

The Laverne and Shirley thing is just awesome!

Thanks! Good to see you on the board Mr. Rob A. Let me know if/when you're next coming up this way.

Why not make yourself a frame, which is what I did for my T&G25 poster?



You'll definitely need a mitre saw. Good glue. Some OK moulding. Get the framer guy to cut the glass to fit. Cut up an old box for the backing and tape it all in place. Even this way you'll pay out, there's no way round it.

At the stall, I asked "tube guy" could he look after it til the evening.

I got my frames here

Not that expensive. They came assembled.
I got very narrow black metal frames so that both the Ryan and Judge could be hung close together for a mural effect.

so good

A hundred bucks, eh?
You could make this guy and offer, but I doubt he'll take it.

OY! How dare someone cash in on my undieground nostalgia! On second thought, maybe it is so expensive because Jay's work is stellar and, rightly, people covet these things?

Either way, looks like I'll not own that poster, ever.

I've heard worse reasons for murdering someone.

That sounds like a really stressful situation, sitting on a poster like that and dreaming of the day when a cheap framer will be found. I don't know how you deal with the weight of something like that. I mean, it'd be kinda nice to hurl off those shackles and just, you know, start livin'.

$100.

I am only posting because it's funny that this guy and I have the same situation, except I've got both posters rolled up in tubes not just the Ryan one. I need to be less lazy about this whole framing business.

I will start livin' by getting off my ass and making a frame for them.

You little print-teases!

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on one or two specific Kozik prints. He occasionally did some very interesting stuff.

Yeah, that's funny. Really... god... damn... funny.

Actually, if nothing comes out of starting this thread other than some beautiful posters make their way out of their cardboard tubes and up on some god damn walls, then I can die a happy, albeit posterless, man.

Fuckers.

(And I say that lovingly. You beautiful fuckers.)
