so how much are you guys spending on framing? I have a pile of posters that are still in tubes because framing is so expensive, is there a cheap way that looks good?

it ain't cheap - I've been relying heavily on the 49.95 special at the Framing Studio in Van Ness for alot of my stuff
I've also tried frmaing some myself using DIY frames bought from Micheals but your poster needs to have the right dimensions and even that way glass for the frame can be pricey

yeah - get them done professionally - its pricey, but you can find places for under $40. There is place on Lee Highway out in Arlington that was running a special of $35 per frame. They did five or six of mine, and look great.
As far as local poster makers, I really like Anthony Dihle's work:

I have a bunch of standard Ikea frames that fit pretty well. Sometimes the dimensions don't match exactly, but it generally doesn't matter, either because it's a white poster border on a white background or the mat only cuts off a fraction of an inch from the sides or top and bottom.
I have a bunch of
these, which I think are great.
Although I haven't used them myself,
www.americanframes.com is widely recommended. You select the frame and mat color, give them the dimensions you want, and they send you the frame.
Otherwise, frame shops are always running specials and you can usually find a decent deal on a simple black frame with white mat.

The one in Arlington is actually cheaper. PM me and I can give you some rough directions on how to get there…and possibly their name if I can remember. I think its KM Custom Framing, but I could be wrong.
