It is through art and art only that we can realize our perfection; through frames and frames only that we can shield our art from the sordid perils of actual existence. Today's deal frames and supplies your art in fine form: for $45, you get $100 worth of custom services at Masterpiece Framing in Bloomingdale.
With more than 2,200 square feet of material selections and workshop space, Masterpiece Framing boasts a bounty of services and supplies to rectangularly wrangle any memory. Custom-framing anything from paintings and diplomas to swords and White House–worthy pieces, the shop's resident experts work diligently and punctually with customers to deliver their desired static narrative. Framing a custom family photo costs an average of $135, including matting, glass, and a wood frame. Other services include custom imaging for converting digital images to canvas ($75 for a 16"x20" print, on average) and restorative services for photographs tattered by sunlight or peanut butter ($75 per photo, on average).
Masterpiece Framing was started by a 20-year-old American Academy of Art student in his parents' basement and, because of his attention to detail, quickly expanded into a full-scale expert operation. Because the founder is an artist, the staff is fully appreciative of the works they frame and attentive to each piece's individual proclivities and radioactivity. The gallery is open Monday through Saturday.
Reviews
Although the reviews for Masterpiece Framing are still growing, DECOR magazine featured the business in a six-page article:
- Determined to succeed, Puchalski worked hard on the fundamentals. He concentrated heavily on customer service—showing up to appointments on time, returning telephone calls and e-mails promptly and thanking clients for their business. Coupled with high-quality frame designs, his efforts began to pay off in the form of repeat business and referrals. – Kristin Stefek Brashares, DECOR
Groupon Says
Imprison Your Art
Framing your prized portrait of Lassie eating Robert Duvall is not only the best way to keep soiled fingertips off your art, it's also the best way to keep the subjects of your art safely trapped inside the aesthetic universe. If Ghostbusters 2: Two Ghosts Too Many has taught us anything, it's that the subjects of all paintings are only one candlelight ceremony away from coming alive and conquering New York City. A custom frame is a beautifying prison that can prevent melty clocks and paintings of malformed river bathers from coming into the real world, eating spices right out of your spice rack, disrupting local elections, and generally making a mess of restaurant bathrooms. Do your art a favor and keep it locked up behind a custom frame, lest it escape into a three-dimensional world it was never meant to understand.
