We have an oversized poster and just want the cheapest frame possible....like the kind that costs...$18 for a regular sized poster. And the quote--on sale, was like...$630 or something like that.? Stg. On Thu, Sep 2, 2021 at 12:27 PM Todd Rhoads <todd@...> wrote:

It's been a while, amigos.? I'm glad Todd was able to broker a reasonable agreement between Dan and I that led to circumstances that I felt were acceptable to my rejoining the dannysic.? I hope you are all well.? My framing story:? We have to go back 5 years and halfway around the globe to Florence Italy.? There is a tradition there that artist's sketch high quality portraits right there in the plaza.? We strolled and found an artist we liked.? He wanted 50 euros for each portrait of my two kids, but I negotiated him down to 70 for two.? He sat Emma down, spent a couple of hours sketching her (literally), then stopped because the sun was setting.? We agreed to meet at a certain time the next day.? We met up, he finally finished both portraits after another long sitting, proud of his work and I paid the man.?? Upon returning home I went to Michael's Art Supplies store, and even with a 60% off coupon, the fucking frames were 5 times the cost of the portraits. Every time I look at those goddamed charcoal faces of my younger children I curse myself for negotiating with a starving artist and curse Michael's for making me feel like an asshole for giving a large corporation 5/6 of the cost of the art.? Even the faces look a little sad, perhaps the artist punishing me, reminding me, "fat, cheap american, you could have paid me more." It's good to be back.??
