Hi

I did notice one at the Spring Fair, it was on the wall on the Framers Corner stand and it had been treated to a dose of detailed mountboard worked on a Wizard mount cutter.

Pyramid has the license for Olympic posters - if you get Art Business Today the announcement is on page 17 of the latest issue (January). They retail through the official London 2012 stores @£7 each http://www.london2012.com/shop. http://www.pyramidinternational.com.
I noticed the one on the Framers Corner/Wizard stand as well - nice job Sam :D

I framed one of the limited edition prints of 'Divers' by Anthea Hamilton (the £570 print, not the £6.99 poster!). It came in a big card folder and included cotton gloves for handling!

I'm surprised we haven't had any comments about the awful posters they come up with, when they were anounced last year I couldn't believe my eyes :Slap:

"Twelve of the UK’s leading artists have created striking Olympic poster designs for the London 2012 Games"

call me an old f*rt but if that's the best we can come up with !
My real name is Adam Laver aka "Adam The Picture Framer", just in case you were unsure ; )

http://www.allposters.co.uk/-st/Olympic ... 54866_.htm some of the reproduced old olympic posters from the last london games ought to be really good sellers - like these examples at allposters - and no, I resisted putting an affiliate link in there ;)
I've had some in the shop already for framing which people have ordered elsewhere online.
adam's right., is the current lot really the best they could come up with? or are we just all getting old.
