Anyone buy a Threadless print?

If so... which one?

I just got mine back from the framing store. I'm happy I decided to go with a white frame. It's sort of a shadow box frame, and the print sits on a foam core backing so it's slightly raised (which you can't really tell from the picture).

hmm looks ace...i am moving soon so i am waiting on purchasing such cool things

jayrawz on Jul 19 '08 at 6:16pm

hows the paper quality?.. wut do they print on?

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:17pm

yeah, I hate moving, lol. The less stuff to move the better

atomic child on Jul 19 '08 at 6:18pm

yeah it is a long move too..so i am trying to lighten up

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:19pm

The paper quality is good... French Paper company (American company, lol)

how much was the frame? I have a print in the cart as we speak

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:30pm

About $150 which was more than I wanted to spend :/ The place I got it framed at is kind of a specialty place that does a lot of their own high quality screen printing, and they also do nice framing with UV glass and all that. It's a wooden frame too which are about twice as much as metal (which still look pretty decent).

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:31pm

Which print are you getting, Maltz?

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 6:31pm

holy crap.

In the cart right now is Hello, Dave

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 6:31pm

it's in my cart, and i'm moving soon so I want something to cover my wallz

atomic child on Jul 19 '08 at 6:33pm

where you moving to maltz

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:33pm

I was thinking about getting Hello Dave.... it's an awesome print. You can get decent frames for next to nothing at Ikea. I have a poster in an Ikea frame that I got for like $15.

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 6:36pm

Brookline area possibly...depends on a job interview tuesday :D

Ikea sounds good to me!

atomic child on Jul 19 '08 at 6:38pm

sweet new york would be great

atomic child on Jul 19 '08 at 6:39pm

err you dind't mean new york...right

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 6:41pm

haha naw it's a small town outside of boston. If I wasn't still in school I'd consider a move to NYC though

Steve The Great on Jul 19 '08 at 6:44pm

lol @ brookline and me thinking I might know where that is.

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 6:48pm

i betcha do!

also I miss the spoilers of all kinds...Opifans mostly though :P

radiostaticstar on Jul 19 '08 at 6:52pm

i want to.
i'm planning on it.
just not right now.
i know, during a sale too.

when i do, the first one i'm getting is magical powers.

your framed one looks great!
the shadow box frame is a great idea!
i can't begin to tell how much i love french paper!
pure heaven. plus their stationary and cards are the coolest! plates too!

wotto on Jul 19 '08 at 6:54pm

i got Raids and it looks fantastic.

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 6:59pm

I was very close to getting Raids, but i had already spent too much on this one, what with shipping and duty and framing.

Magical Powers looks very cool.

chelly on Jul 19 '08 at 7:01pm

i've gotten quite a few but i'm still saving up for frames
i'd love to get hello dave and magical powers
that shadowbox stuff looks good, seems as though they really took care of your poster so it would last a long time

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 7:02pm

yeah, they make really beautiful posters themselves so they take it very seriously. nice people too, and i like supporting what they do.

fatheed on Jul 19 '08 at 7:02pm

That looks ace, you mother.

I want a folder to keep prints in.

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 7:03pm

did you end up getting your prints signed, chelly?

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 7:04pm

lol... yeah, a folder would be cool. prints would be a nice thing to collect.

fatheed on Jul 19 '08 at 7:21pm

I just made a blog about the folder thing. It's something I've been thinking about for a while.

myteemo on Jul 19 '08 at 7:31pm

Love the shadow box frame. I might go for that when I purchase this print

ooh maltzydan to brookline? whereabouts? if it's anywhere near coolidge corner, expect me to stalk you so I have an excuse to hang out there more.

I've bought a few prints, haven't had the money to frame them yet, though.

Maltzmania on Jul 19 '08 at 8:48pm

not sure yet Becca :D!

Laser Bread on Jul 19 '08 at 9:20pm

I bought this one:

More Reasons Not To Go Camping Print - Threadless, Best T-shirts Ever

Still haven't framed it yet

FRICKINAWESOME on Jul 19 '08 at 10:43pm

I got "This is not a pipe" and possibly some paper with my bands slogan printed on it. I am a cheap bastard and will waiting until Michaels has a 50 percent off frame sale and buying and hanging them then. I figure that'll be pretty enough around the prints and support them for a long time. Looks great opi!

opifan64 on Jul 19 '08 at 7:03pm
did you end up getting your prints signed, chelly?

i've gotten one signed and three being shipped back to me, plus some non-threadless-printed prints by threadless artists signed. so, i'd really like to find a great framing option at a low price because i'm totally broke. although i'm not against paying a decent price since the prints themselves are worth way more than we pay.

nikolina100 on Jul 20 '08 at 10:04am

oooo, that's the same one I got, I have yet to get it framed...but I was thinking white frame too....yours looks great!

opifan64 on Jul 20 '08 at 10:13am

Evan: that's cool, my brother bought "This is not a pipe" too.

That's great chelly. I kind of wish I had gotten my signed too. The thought of paying duty and shipping twice was a bit heartbreaking, but it probably would have been worth it.

nikolina100... yeah, white frame all the way!

opifan64 on Jul 20 '08 at 10:14am

I did buy some art from Baron Von Monkey though, and those are signed... the original Mandelion drawings! I should post a picture.
