I've got a bunch of art that I've been meaning to take to a professional framing shop. I'd pick a framer at random from citysearch.com or something like that, but I figured I'd scope recommendations here.

Anyone?
Thanks.

I'd post a budget but I've got so many pieces that it'd be kind of pointless. And I know the prices range a great deal, depending on what a person wants.

Fast Frame on Clybourn is excellent.

We have had many things framed at the tiny shop on Fullerton, just East of Clybourne on the south side of the street, SE corner, at the stop sign, catty corner from the Walgreens there so something like 1400 West Fullerton address. Sorry I can't remember the name or the exact cross street but they did very nice work with some unique pieces we had over the years.

Do you have an Aaron Brothers or Michaels in Chicago? I had a bunch of things I had been holding on two that needed framing and Michaels had a 50% off framing sale and so I took the pieces in and finally had them done. It still cost a bundle..well over 600.00. It all depends on the frame and the matting that you do. Privious to that, I had photographs my dad had taken in the 30's (he was a commercial photographer then) and had about ten of them framed, plus four other pieces of different sizes at a custom frame shop. That was about 20 years ago and it was over 900.00. Just wanted to give you a hint of possible costs if you haven't had anything professionally framed before.

I think Aaron Brothers and Michaels are national chains, but not certain. Michaels did a very nice job for me.
