At the local Ben Franklin (half-price frame sale right now), I picked a frame
similar to the one my first Hiawatha Cyclery poster is in, but in cherry
instead of oak with a bit of matting, and non-reflective UV-protective
conservation glass, mounted, for about 80... Yeah, more than the poster it
I was at a giant antique mall yesterday, and after I realized that I could
look for frames, I was happy to browse while my wife looked for other
things. It occurred to me that what I'd like is an oak frame with a
"Mission" or "Arts & Crafts" vibe. Didn't find anything yesterday, but who
knows
Mine showed up today. Yeah, it is better than shown on the interweb.
Wasn't sure I'd like it when the first version showed up. But, it's very
good. For some reason, looks like "California" to this person from
fly-over land. It's now in a Target frame on the living room wall. For
anyone who car
Optional "margin of goodwill" menu item is a great idea.

Once you reach 30 years of age, posters/prints go in frames.

Haha, at least you get a cubicle. I am in some Bloomberigan walless
nightmare. I try to use my daughter's artwork to build somekind of barrier,
better than staring at the girl across from me in the face for 8 hours. I
should get a standup frame for the poster to better build the barrier.

I got my poster today, as I was out traveling last week. Everyone who has

Such serendipity!
Not wanting to spoil the surprise, I never looked at the artist's site.
When the poster arrived, the style looked familiar, so I looked more
closely at a poster my wife has had since before our marriage--a poster of
Cafe Chez Panisse from the same artist. Needless to say it

DLG likes to show the posters on his site, and I don't know if it's there

Oh man, I thought the price was only going up to $25, after the promo

HA! I did exactly the same thing: Didn't look at his other work, ordered a
Bosco shirt with the poster. Now if we could just see a painted Bosco

My order is in the queue. Along with a Bosco t-shirt. Am happy not
knowing what it looks like. In fact, I haven't even visited the artist's
website too look at his other work. This way won't be unduly influenced
(either good or bad) in comparison to his other work.

So many times I miss out on stuff like this by procrastinating. I saw this
thread and then just went and ordered it. Glad I won't be missing out. One
thing with RBW, if you see something you want, get it ASAP, you snooze and
you could loose which was my situation with the brown MUSA shorts.

I ordered one. I hope I'm one of the 100.
