Heh, we made a funny. Frame comparison vignette.

We're in a weird mood lately. So, anyway, we... hold on a cusomter is in my workshop yelling "come here!" to other customers....

OK, so anyway, we usually have a vignette of a print framed 3 different ways to showcase the difference a frame can make. We usually use a metal with a mat, a mid-range wood with a mat, and a wide wood with a mat and fillet. It creates a lot of "A-ha" moments for our customers and the pieces tend to sell. So, we thought that we would interject some humor for our customers who have become used to seeing these displays here. The photos are awful because the pieces are very close to a front window so I took them at strange angles, but you get the idea.

That's the frist time I've seen the "Simpson" version of that print. Bet you'll be getting a lot of feed back on that one. Good amusement and at the same time a good display.

Good one, Johnny! I'd bet you'll sell more Simpsons than the "other one"!

But only because setting up with the publisher looks like more trouble than it's worth.... http://www.reindersposters.com/reinders/companyprofile_en.php

that is one beautiful looking gallery! Love the walls, the columns, the floors! Nice!

The first poster we framed using the poster special was....
A Simpsons poster for a frat house!

I forget what that LJ series is called. We always had trouble touching it up, and so many problems with scratches and flaws that we gave it up, but I do miss it as it was great for designing.

just a little paranoia showing up(again!)...johnny are you covered by insurance to allow you customers to roam thru your work area????? NOT the safest of environments, ya' know?

 

[johnny]

Thank you DFenti!

Bill, most likely not. We have an employee's only sign up that seems to attract our most obnoxious customers. It's very rare that we invite anyone back there. However, if someone is going to just walk through what are you going to do? Just act nice but still get them back out front quickly. The one guy I mentioned was in to get their son's pre-nup framed, but we couldn't come to terms on price. Imagine that.
