Equinoxe Appreciation Thread

[kbate]

You plan on being pregnant for 18 more years?

18 and a half actually... no drinking at all until the kid is in college and even then I do not think I shall suddenly decide to take up the habit.

 

[Oscuridad]

And I'm sure Equinoxe appreciates your dedication as much as we appreciate her.







How much wood would a woodchucck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

 

[kbate]

Yes, It is time to Appreciate Equinoxe once again!

Poetry, Art, Music, History, Equinoxe possess an unparalleled ability to astound in any or all of these fields.

Pour on the praises, Equinoxe deserves it.



Ha!

 

[Equinoxe]

You can't win.

Perhaps not, but I certainly have the option of going down in a spectacular manner, assisted by stupid and futile gestures.

Stupid, futile gestures are the fundamental building block of life, being a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

In a surprise shift of tactics, you have posted an uncanny reference to our Friiday chat log.

Hello.

Friday as in yesterday or the Friday before that?

On the more recent Friday, our chat was rather more intellectual than the preceeding Friday. I cannot remember exactly, I was supposed to be working anyway.

Yes. Germanic mythology and literary traditions, Alcibiades and the Peloponessian War, the 17th century, the 14th century, and so forth.

Did we discuss the 17th century here, or elsewhere? This week's topic will be the ridiculous price framing a print has reached, and the glee in the frame shop owner's face when you put several prints and paintings on the counter at once.


Aicibiades rocks! Xerxes was a loser!

 

[Sean]

I just felt the need to say that one of my best friends runs a framing business and I get all mine done for free.

I just dropped a couple thousand on framing, this is not a good time to speak of free. Two of the frames cost more than the prints they will hold.

 

[Sean]

LOL! Sorry. This wouldn't be a good time to tell you about the 4ft by 3ft Matisse on my wall then?

There was some mention of the 17th century on here, but we discussed it briefly (though more extensively than here) elsewhere.

The price of framing a print is that ridiculous?

Xerxes was no Darius, and certainly no Cyrus, it's true, but Alcibiades got what he had coming. More importantly, Athens got what it deserved and exactly what it was doomed to receive from the start.

Yes, framing is ridiculous. Each piece ran between $250 and $500 to frame. I took a total of 8 pieces. The one you helped me find, cost $259; it is getting a simple distressed wood frame, conservation glass, and 2 mattes.

It should look nice, but that is really quite ridiculous a price for framing. When the framing costs more than what is being framed, it's certainly overpriced.

I have a 40x28 inch Japanese silkscreen print. I paid about $75 for the print. The frame I chose, and layed out, with matte, inner frame and all came to $550. I don't mind the frame being as expensive as the art, because the frame makes the piece, but 8 to one, is just a bit much; I dropped the inner frame and one of the matte boards, it still cost 3 times the amount of the print.

No, telling me about that right now would make you an arsehole. :emoticon:

A Shunga print?

Yeah... Whatever happened to U-Frame-It stores? They were GREAT!

 

[kbate]

A Shunga print?

No, absolutely not Shunga. This was originally a wrapping paper as far as I can tell. I could not pass it up in the shoppe, although I do not think it was originally intended to hang in a frame, I felt it must be preserved.




edit: this thread seems stale, I think I should start a "New Improved Equinoxe Extra Appreciation Thread".

I found this thread on page 5. That simply will not do.

That's where I found the kbate appreciation thread when I bumped it last night, or really, early in the morning.
