So, since I've been travelling for the last few months it took me awhile to get my MJ by Kaufman framed. Then it was so big, I had to hire someone to hang it up.
But damn if it didn't come out beautiful!





I also FINALLY got my Miles and Ella prints framed and hung after 5 years of being under my bed.





This is Ray by the same artist as the other two.

I'd leave it to ya in my will, if I wasn't scared I'd come up missing.

When I move in a couple of weeks, I plan on putting this picture on my wall

Damn, I love that pic. MJ's bone structure was ridiculous.

SCNDLS said:

It's one of my favorites too

I wanna have a poster of that photo, one of the Parade cover or maybe Under The Cherry Moon box art, Stevie's Hotter Than July cover, and maybe one of The Nicholas Brothers or James Brown

That sounds loverly!
Here's another one that I have that needs to be framed.

SCNDLS said:

Something ELSE waiting to be framed is this portrait of Marvin Gaye done by Ronnie Wood of the Rolling Stones.

Those are really pretty and the framing is very well done.

I have 3 posters from the Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, CA. I've got one framed and will have to pay to have them hung in the foyer.

It's such a process.

Pics please

IMO the framing is so important to set off artwork. No matter how much it costs. I've spent $100 to frame a $5 print cuz it makes a huge difference.

It takes me forever to frame 'em cuz I keep buying more stuff and the conservation glass is so expensive that it costs almost as much as the art sometimes to get stuff framed. I keep saying I can't buy anything else until everything I currently own is framed and hung. That hasn't worked out too well tho.

I love Ella's portrait

Looks awesome!

SCNDLS said:

I'm the same way except you actually hang your framed stuff and mine just sits around.

Part of the reason it takes me forever to hang anything is because I'm so fickle about stuff like that. I already don't like the one I had done.
I'll work on a pic.

I keep buying stuff to. I totally get what you mean!

Nice!

I'd love to do movie posters, and start with Mahogany!

That's gorgeous. I almost bought an original movie poster of Lady Sings the Blues but I waited too long. I got this original Spanish version of the Carmen Jones poster instead.

NBJ, this one been leaning on the wall in my guest room, unhung, for over a year.

I love that!!! Those 2, plus this one - Breakfast At Tiffany's - could make my first 3!

Hershe said:

Whenever I do my media room I'ma have a Breakfast at Tiffany's poster in there. Plus, I have a clock I got from CB2 with that image on it.

I have this on my bedroom wall. B.A.T poster art seems very popular.

Love the color!

SCNDLS said:

Tiffany's blue, me too...

The Pursuit Of Happyness

But damn C, your MJ art is absolutely lovely.


chile you had Miles and Ella under yo mattress? I thought that's where we're supposed to keep our ready cash? Or is it IN the mattress. Damn these rules!

DesireeNevermind said:

Ain't I a mess??? Funny how I couldn't get those framed for 5 years but could find spare change readily for some shoes or handbags.

Steve Kaufman put his foot in that MJ di'int he??? One of his last works.

SCNDLS said:

It's just so sad that they are both gone.

DesireeNevermind said:

Both before their time
