After so bloody long did I bother to bring my arse out of my computer chair (damn you Facebook!) and send my Faile's Bunny Boy Blue print to the framer. (Don't ask me what is the official name of the print, it was sold as Bunny Boy Blue by Black Rat Press)
Anyway, there are a couple of reasons why I did not send the print to the framer once I got the print. Firstly, I was framing my BAST prints as priority (My Cash Bazaar and Und Erotik). But most importantly, I have no idea what is the best way to frame it (I always love metallic coloured frames but it doesn't look good with this print).
So I lurked at Faile forum to check out some of the framed Failes that the members posted and I saw that most of them go for white frame with white matt. (The other option is acrylic box but it is expensive!) And white on white actually shows off the Faile-iness (wat?) of the artwork in the best way.
Though, I was really tempted to go for a glitterly gold antique looking frame for this piece but changed my mind at the framer when my framer asked me whether I am colourblind or simply blind.
Anyway I went for white on white, and I truly love the final framed piece. I have hung it in my bedroom and now I wake up every morning to see this beauty. This has inspired me to frame the rest of my Faile prints still lying in tubes or in my folder. (yeah right... another few months perhaps before I lifted my arse off the computer chair thanks to Warhammer Online now...)
(If only I know how to explain to my wife why the boy is kissing the rabbit and what is the hidden meaning behind the artwork... Anyone?)

hey there,
Nice to see another Faile/Urban Art collector here in Singapore. I'm a big fan myself, but pretty late to the game so I've got a tiny collection to speak of. Love the Faile BBB and Love in Key Foods! Btw, can I just check where you go to frame your prints? I use merlin myself but am hesitant after I paid S$1k for my last frame job!

Hiya Gerald,
Thanks for reading my blog. What Failes do you have at the moment?
I used Framehub Gallery in Holland Village. (46A Lorong Mambong) You can check them out as I am unsure whether you will find them expensive as well but I love the service level they have shown. I am quite happy with what they have done for my Faile, MissBugs and Basts.

Thanks for sharing! I only have 2 Failes at the moment, My Confessions and Momento Mori. I also have a Nick Walker. Just building out my collection, as you can tell, and nice to know that there are folks here interested as well. :)
