This isn’t my day job. I really work to protect, monitor & manage endangered and threatened species in New Jersey. It’s something I’ve been doing here since 2004 after I graduated from Unity College in Maine. Since ’04 I’ve worked with ospreys, a state threatened species, and I’ve photographed my fieldwork with them ever since. […]
Framed another piece by Kathy Johnston. This piece was not rare or a limited edition print. It was a poster, but I treated it the same way as a limited edition print for archival framing. First the frame is sealed using acid-free sealing tape, then the poster was mounted using a T-hinge of archival mounting […]
My latest custom framing job was to frame two pieces of artwork by Kathy Johnston, a well known artist in Southern New Jersey. This is one limited edition print named “Kelp Greenling” by her from 1987. The other piece (which I’m finishing tomorrow) is a poster with her name at the bottom. I’ve never actually […]
Now that all events are in the distant future, I now have time to concentrate on framing. I’m currently working on several custom framing jobs, some of which I’ve had to delay due to past shows and researching proper methods of framing limited edition prints and original artwork. The weather has been conducive to my […]
Well, I’ve definitely been keeping busy lately. I glad that I’m done with all my shows that were scheduled this year. Now I can concentrate on finishing off some custom framing jobs that I’ve been working on. I am finally educating myself on proper framing of limited edition prints and original artwork using archival methods. […]
Here are a few new salvaged wood trees. “Green” your holiday decor with one of these trees. They were made from old game bird crates that the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife once used to stock wildlife management areas for pheasant hunting. The old crates were picked out of a dumpster where my office […]
My latest cork/chalk board is the largest I’ve made so far at 28×23″ wide. It’s made from wood that was once a poorly built pine chest that I got from a friend who was saving it from going to the landfill in Manahawkin, NJ. Get it this weekend on 12/4 at the Green Trading Post […]
Well, 6 weeks ago I said I was beginning work on my home framing studio/work space. In the past 6 weeks I got little work done…. In that time I moved out all non-essential furniture, books, magazines, and other stuff. Today I finally began painting. So far only the ceiling is done. For the walls […]
This week I’m building frames for both a photo I’m custom framing for a client and a new chalk/cork board. The frame above is made from pine that was once an old poorly constructed chest. The frame below is made from salvaged tongue & groove cedar that was once a wall in an old saltbox […]
