Totally agree !! Seeing I could buy good stuff before at 50-75 GBP. Now even stupid giclee starts at 100 GPB and plus. We are all in the same boat I presume... but to be honest, some sale threads are as laughable as the rest. Yes nice and cheap back then but these days you pay more for 'hand finished' lol!! Everything is hand finished these days.. Oooh errrrr...

Must confess I am with alittle in that I always use white box frames. Although did break my own rule recently on a piece that needed a black box frame and have bought a couple of pieces with black frames etc. Like I like to let the art do its work that's not to say do not appreciate some of the more elaborate framing people do some works. On framing though have shown this on the old forum as had for a long old while I have a couple of round Murakami prints that I got round frames made for....must confess was worried a bit at the time but glad I went that way when they came back That's fucking stunning! Beautiful frame and image combo!

Mine are all crammed together, ceiling to floor, higgledy piggledy. No straight edges. Find a spot, bash in a nail. Ceilings downstairs are almost 12 feet high which helps. Space now very much a problem. So framed pieces now also sit on the floor leaning against furniture. I don't think I have ever stopped and thought, where are you going to hang it, when buying a piece of art. Know what you mean... my walls are now pretty much full floor to ceiling, with back–up art leaning against walls and furniture (even under the beds). My Mrs seems to think I've got some sort of problem. I just think we need more walls

A poll? Democracy? What the fuck is happening to this place? It's all going down hill fast. Fucking madness!

Has the idea of erect donkey icons been abandoned?? Lots of votes for that option . Can we get a vegetarian option?

Ummmm maybe? It would be an erect donkey for everyone though Hmmm mightened be a great image in the long term, how about a compromise for @ignorantwalnut Donkey dick hour sunday 9-10pm After watershed, bit like happy hour at the pub but with donkey dicks Ha ha ha – that's just so very, very wrong

Share ideas for framing here. A few things I have come across on IG: The burnt frame on the petrol bomb is great!

Nice! There seems to be a chip missing on the bottom left of the pink one in the middle. Please put it back, I can't look at that. My OCD wants to fil in the gap You'll need to be adding an additional 'l' to fil then!

I liked the stars. Giving everyone 5 stars was all part of the sense of humour that this place started with, all those days ago, it was a gesture that encapsulated the 'don't give a fuck' ethos, something that other forums don't do. I'd like to see their return, and if you can chuck in some gold epaulettes with tassels and some gold rope, that'd be grand. Ta. PS - and gaddafi's hat if that's at all possible please I actually liked the 5* thing too. It meant if I fell on tough times and needed to apply for a job at McDees / KFC I could at least evidence previous star attainment. Thinking big – like your style!
