I was trying for Gary and Hair Tonic. Managed to get Hair Tonic so I'm happy.
EDIT: I didn't realize they wouldn't all go live at the same time so I was refreshing the hair tonic page and Gary must have gone live earlier. After I finished checking out some pieces still said coming soon.

My favorites were Gary, Stan Discovers Hair Tonic, and Stan and Will. But I have my drawing Ffolkes, that I really like and even though these were really cheap, I just don't see them working on my walls that well and would hate to take away the opportunity from someone that will have it framed and hanging proudly on their wall... My next work from Travis Louie will be a framed work in convex glass, and I just have to hold strong on that. Thanks for the heads up! Wasn't able to get the one I wanted (Stan and Will) but I bought one none the less. Oringinal Travis Louie drawings already framed for 150!? Total steal. Excited to show to my art students. |

If it were me, I wouldn't trust the frame that it comes with... Meaning you wouldn't trust it to be framed using archival materials? Yeah, I've already got to reframe a doktor a piece I got earlier this year because of that. I don't know why galleries would want to frame stuff in a way that is not going to preserve the artwork. |

I usually do my own framing. An 8x10 piece of UV acrylic from american frame is only $6.30 and I already have spacers at home so assuming the frame isn't hideous I'm hoping I can just swap out the glass/acrylic for less than $10. I used matte boards and nicer moulding on my other travis pieces so they were considerably more expensive but since these sketches already have a letterpressed border I'm thinking it will look fine without a matte.

Meaning you wouldn't trust it to be framed using archival materials? That's exactly what I mean... I would be incredibly surprised if there was any sort of archival methods used when it only costs $150 including the original work and the frame. Heck, I spend about $175 having my little drawing of his framed properly (and that was during a 35% off frame sale). Most of Travis' pieces are framed with vintage frames he finds in antique stores and flea markets and refurbishes. So they would very rarely be "archival"... but that is not the artist's intent. Often you will find that reframing work that the artist has intentionally framed in a particular way reduces its value. Some artists put a great deal of thought into presentation, and consider it of a piece with the artwork. |

I guess I could prob. get into framing things myself, I just haven't really done much research on best practices, etc. Im doing most of the framing myself for a while now (thanks to few board members that were very helpful with tips and encouraging me), and Im really happy with how things work out.. I usually pick a vintage frame @ flea markets, replace all the mats with acid-free ones, and voila!.. now, I've been doing this for few months, so Im not sure about how good Im preserving these in long term, but knowing that no tape is touching the artwork, and they are on on acid free mats, is good enough for me.. |

And even though I have not seen these framed yet, I can all but guarantee they will be in really cheap (off the shelf) 8x10 frames. looks like you're right:  (photo by Floyd44) |

For $150 you can't really complain. Even with the cost of re-framing these are a steal.

I didn't frame these. As for the price being so low, these are boutique prices. I thought it would be best to make the prices uniform to the rest of the Circus Posterus sketches on that "CabinetCard-type" paper. My favorite drawing among them is the last one to sell. It is part of a painting I'm working on.
