The Delft Blue KLM miniature traditional Dutch Houses

This is an acrylic case made for a customer who travels a lot!
These ceramic Dutch houses are presented to passengers of
KLM - Royal Dutch Airlines.
Each house is numbered and corresponds to an actual house on the canals
in Holland. These Delft Blue miniature traditional Dutch house are filled with Dutch gin. 
The blue sky and white clouds are painted on the reverse of the acrylic background before the shelves are "welded" to the face and the top , bottom and sides are enclosed. A full cover of acrylic is attached to the face to protect the contents.



Vintage Collectible Post Cards Presented as Fine Art

An art director and friend has had me frame his valuable vintage post-card collection over many years. They are hanging in his beautiful study.  This collection spans time from the early 1800s through the 1940s.  All of these pieces are in mint condition and the framing I do preserves them while they are able to be viewed and enjoyed.
 


ゴジラ

Let's admit it!
If  ゴジラ doesn't look like a man in a rubber suit,
then he's not the real thing!

Intruders

 
 
Letting 2 strangers into the house was a big mistake. I was told everything I wanted to hear, you know, stuff about respecting the property of others, obeying house rules, keeping their paws off of what didn't belong to them, etc.  Their unwitting accomplice I cannot blame.  Always one to "get up for anything", I know this person's intentions were pure. So take a look at these "before and after" pictures but don't tell me that after hours of sticking my fingers together this irreplaceable rice wine
"tokkuri" is now "un-broken".

Do You Feel Like Taking a Walk?

 
How about a walk on the Brooklyn Bridge around lunch time? My customer, although doing wonderful work in her office on the West Edge of the continent, can just imagine turning away from her computer,  grabbing her sun glasses and stepping out through this inviting six and a half foot wide mural. The angle of the walkway was photographed perfectly, at a perfectly inviting angle.

L'ART

So, this is a wonderful and large poster, right?
My customer wants it done right....is there any other way?
It's huge so Plexiglas is essential.
Because it's huge,  a sturdy moulding is required.
A mat would be good and serve to elevate this piece to more of a fine art presentation but several of these pieces will be framed and cost is somewhat of a consideration, a pretty common concern these days.
How would you like to see this piece framed?

Spring and summer are great times of the year for me.


Spring and summer are great times of the year for me.  After tax time my customers seem more inclined to spruce things up a bit! Maybe they want to frame new art or re-hang old art or, in this case, keep their company's images current. 

                                As I like to say,  "I'm here to serve"
