I haven't seen Oblivion, Dredd or Watchmen framed yet. Can't wait to see your pics.

Yeah Ken Taylor did a fantastic job on that one. I prefer the variant myself with the yellow incorporated into it, so that's the one I got. That being said the metallics pop more on the regular. I've never seen a more effective use of GID either. This print GLOWS!

chris, thats a great selection. doing something different for each one? i hadnt seen that Oblivion piece. so sweet. we love Oblivion at my house. Morgan Freeman is my 12 year olds favorite actor, so, whenever he pops up on screen, theres a buzz that goes through the room. hilarious. might have to track one of those down for a Christmas gift.

also, btw, your statues are boss, yo.

I was going to get the variant at first but the more I looked at it, that yellow section really started to bug me. It doesn't work with so much blue going on. That's just my opinion, so I opted for the regular. You're right about the metallics popping more. This print looks amazing up close.

Thanks dude

Ya l love Morgan freeman to, guys an amazing actor. I've never heard of many 12 year olds into Morgan lol...let me guess why....Bruce almighty?

If you can grab the oblivion print, do it. It's an awesome print and the colours used just make you want to stare at it for a while. Movie was great, loved all twists and story line. Despite everyone I know hating it for some reason?

They're not really "displays" although I suppose they can be, I store my prints flat. I put them in protective mylar sleeves with acid free backing board. I just took those out to take pictures of them before I brought them to the framers.

I buy them from bags unlimited. It's $75 for 10x sleeves, $92 for 10x backing board. Not a bad deal as you can technically store two posters in one sleeve with the board in the middle of them.

Sleeves 24.5" x 36.5"

Acid free backing board 24" x 36.25"

I know they are not displays ,just wanted something to take them out of the tubes and also handy to transport them to framers.

Thanks for links also

After a long wait I finally got my Stout Drive Metal back from my framer. I went with a high gloss black frame then floated it in a glass trap.

The plan was always to put this next to my 80" LED so it would pick up the backlighting I have on it. The first 3 pics represent how it looks with nothing more than my backlit tv on. 2nd to last pic is with the lights on and last is a wide shot of how it looks in my room during movie time.
