It has gone Cricket mad

In the last couple of months I have been asked to frame a number of cricket related items. Can’t think why, something to do with an urn I think. Anyway I just thought I would share them with you.

Don’t fade away

Gary Best, a very good client of mine, came to see me a year or so ago with a poster print by Mordillo. His family were friends of the cartoonist, and many years ago Mordillo had signed a poster and given it to Gary’s father. It was framed and proudly hung on the wall, and was later passed on to Gary. By chance a number of years later, Gary spotted the same print on ebay and noticed how rich the colours looked. He bid on it, won it, and asked Mordillo to sign it ,which he did. Above you can see the difference in the colours, and see how UV light can damage your artwork. So Gary did not hesitate to have UV glass put on his new copy when it was framed. For more information about UV glass please call Martin on 01342 833266.

What’s in a name

Everyone asks me why Oyster. I normally mumble it’s a long story or it’s just a good memorable name which of course it is but the word works on so many different levels. The connection with luxury champagne and oysters not to mention a little sexy with its aphrodisiac connections. Its all starting to look like quite a good name. Then we come to the rather cheesy bit thats it the perl, that precious perl all encased by the oyster a little like your precious picture being framed to protect it.
