Harry Lange

This is a very special piece, a drawing by a chap called Harry Lange. Harry was a production designer in the movie business who work on 2001, Star Wars, Bond movies, all sorts of amazing things. He also gave me a job as a runner and model maker when I was a wee lad, many, many years ago. So it was a delight to have this little sketch in for framing. The customer was a carpenter by trade and gave us a free hand on the framing, so we had to select a nice piece of oak for the frame and do something a bit special with it. We opted to use a button polish to finish the wood, this is a type of French Polish and has given the wood this glorious warm colour, inside we used a double mount and the top mount has been floated to give a shadow effect. UV glass finishes the piece off, protecting the artwork. A wonderful thing to get to frame, reminded me of some great times :-)

May the frames be with you...

Well here's a very varied selection of images to have on the bench altogether. The pheasant painting is in a waxed oak frame with a double mount. A simple black frame with white mount for the storm trooper poster...and a lovely print from the Yellow Hat Gallery...there aren't many things you can frame in bright purple, but this looks gorgeous :-)
