Hello,
I’ve had these for about 30 years. I did some DIY framing with them originally. My daughter recently bought her first home, so I had them professionally framed and I am presenting them to her as a housewarming gift this weekend. I was a huge NIN fan back in the late 80’s and into the 90’s. She is now a huge fan herself.
You pick a playlist, it checks every artist and shows you who's playing nearby.
Found out 5 concerts from my 2025 wrapped playlist were touring near me that I had no idea about
All of these frames cost from $5-$10. I went to a local framer inquiring about matting. He sold me cut off's/fall for a heavily discounted rate after I brought in my portfolios and explained to him what I had in mind.
I bought a Logan compact mat cutter (Edit: off facebook marketplace for $25. It wouldnt be able to do a 24x36, but 18x24's all day), and this has been such a fun process and learning experience. These are just a few examples, and I'm positive I'm doing something incorrectly, but I'm not really looking for advice. Just wanted to share, and I know there will be plenty more to come.
I would encourage anyone that is on this sub to look into it because this will save you $$$$, is a fun activity, and you get to reuse forgotten about frames. One of these cheap frames had a mat with a black core, white textured surface that was only cut out about 7"x18". That matting alone can sell for $100+, and now I can use it for a different print!
Excited to share, to get these prints out of portfolios, and onto the walls here soon!
I enjoy making characters and stories, even if most of them never get beyond some drawings and some brainstorming in my phone’s note app. This one is no different, but I am really proud of how this turned out. Colored pencil and ink pen (for the outlines).
Lore of the band below for anyone interested:
The ragged Anne’s was a group started in the early 80s by the middle pair, anslem and Ansley. (Not sure on exactly how or why yet). They played underground clubs in the Midwest United States for a few years, picked up Adam and Allen at their shows, and put out an album with only moderate fanfare. Their music was in line with the punk sound and ideology of the time. Singing about bringing down authority, equality for all, the problems of society/the machine, some random shock value pieces or songs that they just wanted to write, and over all, a hope for a better tomorrow.
At one of their shows, in 1986, a record producer was actually in the audience and impressed by their work enough to offer them a deal on making and promoting a second album, if they made their music… more palatable.
Anslem wanted to refuse. She mainly stood for the music, was happy with her current audience, enjoyed having their music heard. and was happy that she was able to live (meagerly) off their income. Ansley, however, after scraping by for 4 years with the band, instantly got dollar signs in her eyes. She argued with Anslem to let the band grow and prosper, but Anslem wouldn’t sell out to the same fat cats that they had often preached against. This argument lasted months, slowly growing more extreme. Allen was on anslem’s side and Adam was ambivalent either way. Ansley got more and more desperate to accept the deal.
Eventually, Ansley poisoned Anslem. She blamed the death on a relapsed drug problem Anslem had gotten clean from years ago, and Anslem posthumously joined the 27 club. No one else knew of the murder except Ansley. With the main opposition gone, the band accepted the album deal. Their music ragged Anne’s blew up almost overnight. Over the next 40 years, they got to be as big as greenday, but their music was indeed a watered down pop-punk, eventually devolving into pop-rock. Anselm was held up as this tragic figure head, kind of like Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd, a star gone to soon. And the murder passed into distant memory, nearly forgotten by Ansley.
But not all secrets stay dead…
Sorry for the ramble. I had so much fun putting this all together.

Just got this one back from the frame shop. Beauty.
This was one of the first shows Saetia played after they announced their reunion. A matinee!
I got when I was living in Denver. I didn't collect the signatures unfortunately... It's a little beat up but cool AF. Should I get it authenticated as I may want to consider letting it go at some point.

I was watching an antiques roadshow re-run with my dad the other day and there was a really cool selection of Pearl Jam gig posters. I made a comment about how cool they were but it would have been crazy if they were early Grateful Dead posters.
My dad said “hold my beer” (he didn’t actually) and dug this out of a chest. It’s yellowed and has tack holes in the top two corners from when it was in his dorm room, but otherwise seems in pretty shape.
Should we send it in to get graded/slabbed or would it be better to just get it in a nice frame? Selling is not a priority, but preserving is. If it’s worth a whole bundle, he might change his mind though.
