tiki-riviera,

That is truly impressive and completely fantastic!

Here is my humble contribution:

Like you commented about some of your pieces,
I also used to frame with corresponding colors in the mats,
but that feels too "Granimals" to me now. Hanging sets of prints in
black frames with white mats make them all seem to be part of a series,
at least to me. Also, I collect other artists aside from Shag, and it
ties all the work together cohesively.

It also puts the focus on the work and not the framing.

Originals are one of a kind, and one of a kind framing makes sense
for those, but especially prints that have white borders for the signature
and numbering...it just seems so clean, elegant, and absent of noise to
go black and white.

Also, I will defer to Shag how to frame his prints...see here:

:wink:
