Posters are a great way to punch up any room and inject it with some of our own style and identity. Movie poster, music poster, art prints, there’s all kinds of choices you can make. But once you have your posters unrolled and in your house, what’s the best way to display it? There are as many different kinds of…
In today’s blog we’re going to spotlight an artist that we at Frame USA/Art & Canvas have had the pleasure of working with: Marc Allante. His print “Achilles” is one of our most popular posters and anytime we get new art from him we’re always pleased and excited. Marc was born in Hong Kong and is currently based there where…
The phrase, “Summer Vacation” packs a wallop of images, emotions and memories. You can almost smell the hot dogs cooking on the grill; hear the sound of a baseball hitting a bat and the roar of a crowd at the ballpark. You think back to running through the sprinkler on the lawn to cool off. You remember sticky ice cream melting…
It would be an understatement to say that comic book adaptations have overtaken television. One web article lists 42(!) announced series based on comics of all genres. Superheroes, horror, sci-fi and some plain old comedy (a series based on Archie Comics called “Riverdale” is being prepped by Warner Brothers Television). Due to the episodic nature of both mediums, these stories seem…
Led Zeppelin. *sighs* One of the greatest rock bands of all time. Arguably the most influential hard rock band of the seventies and undeniably still popular after four decades and change. They gave us “Dazed and Confused,” “The Ocean,” “The Immigrant Song,” and a million other face melting anthems that resonate with headbangers young and old. Of course, they also gave…
With San Diego Comic-Con and the Major League Baseball All-Star-Game having both just wrapped up, it’s been a big couple of weeks for collectors of all kinds of memorabilia.

We’re Art & Canvas so of course we love movies we have a variety of posters of from classic movies for all generations. These movies were so iconic they have made a lasting impression on the world to the point where they are talked about to our children and our children’s children. There is no set of guidelines to determine whether…
We first mentioned The Walking Dead fandom in a post earlier this week, but Frame USA and especially Art & Canvas have been fans of the series since the beginning. The Walking Dead Background So, what is The Walking Dead? This fandom first started out from a comic book written by Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Tony Moore back in 2003.…
If there is a TV show or movie that you’re absolutely obsessed with and find yourself talking about it every second you get, you’re not alone. In fact in the entire world there are people equally obsessed with that same show and annoying their family and friends with constant references that they know nothing about(…yet). For those unaware that they’ve been…
After being in business for over 30 years we have come to a conclusion: College students really like posters (shocking, right?). While the college students are off soaking up the sun and definitely not thinking about calculus or physics (for the most part…), the employees at their colleges are starting to get everything ready for the NEXT school year.
