  • Finally Framed my Disney Gallery Art

    Well, I bought two paper prints from the Disney Gallery last April. They had been sitting in a cardboard tube for quite some time.

    So, having taken everything out of the room, repainted, put everything back in, replaced the bed, and other improvements, I finnally got the artwork framed and just finished hanging it:



    (No, they're not tilted; its just an illusion because the frames hang out from the wall and the pgoto was taken at an angle)

    The first, most of you will probably recognize, is the Tomorrowland Mural currently above Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters (I will note that the Star Tours mural and the original Mary Blair mural are also available as prints, though not the horrid TL98 mural). The second is a piece of concept art by John Hench. Both are on display in the Disney Gallery at the moment; in the Tomorrowland section. The prints are pretty cheap; $15 for paper and $30 for canvas (I went for paper). The frames, however, are very expensive (not entirely Disney's fault, frames are expensive in general).

    Over all though, very gratifying and its great to have a piece of Disney on my wall.

      I have to agree with you there on frames being expensive. Not to mention, some of the posters and Lithos are odd sizes. So most are custom jobs.
      They look great Club. Thanks for posting them.

              It was my idea, but I did listen to advice from the framer and my mother as well. I got them both framed at Joann Fabrics and I had a coupon. It was a few years back so I dont remember what it cost. By the way Club33, those pieces of your look great too. I am planning on my November trip to pic up at least 1 more piece ( a Tiki Room print, maybe something from POTC).

                      Very nice guys. You've inspired me. Now I simply have to get my 50th map mounted and framed... The only problem will be finding a piece of wall big enough to hang it on.

                          yeah ive got the POTC, Tiki Room, and Flying Saucer attraction prints and a couple concept sketch prints that ive had for a while. i always want more and more prints but never get any of them framed[smilie=1,24,4] so maybe next time i go ill just not buy anything (ha) and use my saved money for some frames.

                              when you get them framed they look so awesome. I get people to comment on my pirates pic all the time. I was 2 years before i got it framed.

                                My print of the stretching portaits has been in the tube for about 4 months. Now I don't feel so lame that it's still there, since everyone else does the same thing! Framing the darn thing is gonna be so expensive!!!

                                      sorry to bring this thread back up, but can anyone give me a rough estimate on how much it cost to frame your prints? like how big it was and the price you paid. just some "ish" prices if you dont want to say.

                                        It was a few years back and I had 2 pieces framed. I had a 50% off coupon or buy one get one free or something. I paid around $400 I think. I went ot Joann Fabrics. I would watch for coupons for Places like Micheals and Joanne fabrics fro savings on framing.
