Adventures In Framing More Of My Own Artwork, Today's Being A Cheap Thrift Store Frame That I Split Apart,

Adventures in framing more of my own artwork, today's being a cheap thrift store frame that I split apart, repaired, cut, and put back together in a new size and shape. It's gratifying to feel like I'm getting better at certain aspects of my job, like actually joining frames.

I framed a beautiful set of pictures from @gametee that I received as gifts for my last birthday. I'm really pleased with how they turned out. Each one has custom-made matboard with fancy handmade paper, and the aim was to try and match the relative aesthetic of each era of Bioshock and Bioshock Infinite.

Ruby’s got a lot of scars. Not shown: the debridement scar on her right leg from an unfortuitous slime encounter.

Three pictures framed and currently hanging in my public library, and one tiny framed artist trading card-sized oil painting in an equally tiny frame. All but the crab were framed by me, with a good friend of mine (who is also a framer) doing that one in the most ridiculous frame she could find.

Am I doing Inktober? Is it Artober? Am I doing "I just want to make some art since I've been burned out and artist blocked for too goddamn long and it happens to be October and I should just use whatever I feel like but I'm gonna do it every day?" Yes, that one.

I went ahead and framed these. It's one of my more grandiose framings I have done, with triple stacked frames.

It occurs to me that while I posted this when I was working on it, I never posted the finished paintings
