I've been meaning to ask this- and what an opportune moment!

How did you frame your Birmingham poster? I was a little surprised when I put mine in a 18 x 24 frame and saw that it was too small. I measured it and I think all my UK posters are 16 1/2 by 22 1/2.

I know you can custom frame it, but that cost moneys. :-/ I was thinking of just using a 18 x 24 frame and just somehow making it ~fancy~.

i just picked up a pre-made 18X24 frame at Michael's (local craft/art store chain). They look lovely in the frame, and the posters fit snugly.

i could take a picture if you're curious.

now i've got to take down the map of middle earth, and replace it with more conchords posters (poor nathan ;
) )

ETA: Just read your post Sara, will do!

The man opens the cage to free his bird, but the bird chooses to stay inside. The man realizes this decision gives the bird something to continue to hope for.



Something like that ... the poignancy moved me.

Bill,"
he said, "
I like you so much, and I am such a big shot in the Universe, that I will make your three biggest wishes come true."
He opened the door of the cage, something Bill couldn't have done in a thousand years.

Bill flew over to a windowsill. He put his little shoulder against the glass. There was just on layer of glass between Bill and the great out-of-doors. Although Trout was in the storm window business, he had no storm windows on his own abode.

"
Your second wish is about to come true,"
said Trout, and he again did something which Bill could never have done. He opened the window. But the opening of the window was such an alarming business to the parakeet that he flew back to his cage and hopped inside.

Trout closed the door of the cage and latched it. "
That's the most intelligent use of three wishes I ever heard of,"
he told the bird. "
You made sure you'd still have something worth wishing for--to get out of the cage."

I think it might be my favorite poster, by the way.

By the way, my cat totally does that. She's so curious about the outdoors, but when you open the door, she freaks out.

[size=100:389h0n77]This is a video demonstrating how my Flight of the Conchords poster (for their show in Amsterdam) can actually be cut out and played with. The costumes and props really fit onto their respective figures.

Please visit in the coming days for information about the upcoming release.

[size=100:19kx9px9]The posters are official and in a limited edition of 80. They are five color, hand screen printed, on 100 lb Steel Gray French Cover Paper. All posters are hand signed and numbered. [url=They cost $25 each and can be found in my online store starting Tuesday at noon (PST).][/url]

These Flight of the Conchords posters are special from other posters I have done. ALL the costumes and props can be cut out and fitted onto their respective figures like a paper doll. this is great for the FOTC fan who is hands on. In order to hold everything together, I suggest using adhesive glue dots, the acid free variety that allows for re-use and repositioning, which can be purchased at most hobby/stationary stores.

It’s really hard to cut all these shapes out, so for an additional $12, I can ship you a poster that has the shapes perforated (cut in dotted lines, so it’s not fully cut out and stays in the poster), so you can just punch them out or keep it as a poster. There will be an option at my online store for the cut version. The cut version will only be available for a week and will be limited to 20 orders. Cut and uncut versions can be combined into one order. For cut versions, please allow 2 weeks for shipping.

[size=100:1qv6tsva]Danny Askar handled the printing for this poster and it was no small feat considering that he would be printing all 5 colors and 300 posters by hand.
