what price art?

i just picked up three things i had framed.

when i dropped them off i asked frame guy how much it would cost. he smiled and answered that it could all be done for under a thousand. i thought he was joking. turns out, i just scooted in under a grand. for a 10 euro poster i got in spain, a couple hundred dollars for a frame smacks of insanity...for amanda's blueprint it seemed sensible. so i winced, handed over my credit card and had a panic attack on the way home.

i was concerned that i wasn't going to love them. i worried that matting would take away from the pieces and that i would have to ask them to redo it. i've been anxious all week, i hate returning things or asking for things to be fixed.

alas, i was feeling future pain.

they look gorgeous. i love them. i may never leave my apartment again.
