A custom picture framer with a big ol' collection. I wanted to share my framed work, some purchased art and some I've drawn personally, and talk about the little tidbits of each piece
🖤 Happy Halloween 🖤

I had the singular privilege of finally getting to visit their booth at Sakura Con this year!
Beautiful print by @nsomniaksdream.bsky.social I won in a giveaway years ago 💙 had to go extra fancy for this one

Art by @elbydraws.bsky.social and anothee beautiful thrifted frame! Floated on a black suede mat and behind Museum glass, this really is the perfect Halloween centerpiece

A traditionally drawn picture of a female witch in a poofy orange dress with a whimsical witch's hat, framed in an ornate gols frame with a pale cream liner and gols fillet.
A piece I drew last year that fit perfectly in this thrifted frame. I have a good collection of full-custom pieces, but there's nothing quite like finding the perfect frame at the thrift store that's still sturdy, stylish, and fits your aesthetic exactly 💙
