Looking for Advice on framing

I have these Artgerm prints and I want to frame them similar to the way SS frames their art prints, which I believe are floating frames?

It says the size is 15x20 but when I measure I get 16 1/2" x 21 5/8" (which includes the white area of the paper) So what size frame should I get?




Anyone have any links of companies that can provide those type of frames for this size of picture..

Thanks...

Are these printed by someone other than Artgerm? Cuz his prints are roughly 11 3/4 x 16 1/2. I have a few of those and I've been using some inexpensive 16 x 20 frames and simply cut the mats to 2 inch borders on the top and bottom and have the sides at 2 1/2.

So you could try something similar by choosing a big enough frame to fit the bigger print and decide before purchasing what you would like your mat border widths to be at. I got my frames from a local art store so I'm not sure where you could shop online.

These are directly from Artgerm and hand signed, says Artist Proof on them.. I bought them through Simple Toys in Singapore... They were not cheap...

Michaels is really good on custom frames if you want it done right, they preview it with a display camera so you can see what it will look like. Can pick out what frame you want, frame mats etc. can run anywhere from 80-215$ish. They have UV anti glare glass etc. Not sure if they have floating frames, will find out Saturday. Im about to have a Vanderstelt darth talon giclee print framed by them when i receive it tomorrow
