Hey everyone...meet Ben!! This is the beloved pet of our client who had this custom artwork made. We assisted in choosing the colors of the double matting and chose a glossy black frame with some brownish red highlights along the edges. All framed under Ultra Vue 70% UV protected glass (UV70) which has a bit less UV protection but the same disappearing effect as museum glass all at a more economical price. Doesn't he look awesome!!

 

Do you have kid's art that you're really proud of? How about a piece from Art Class that got an "A"?!!!

This was drawn with crayons and we mounted it in the heat press with Preserve Ultra* to lay nice and flat.  Then we double matted it with a black and blue mats and framed under UV 70** glass with a contemporary flat shaped black frame.

**UV 70 glass has 70% UV protection while diffracting the reflection like the museum glass, but at an economical price.
