In Montreal, Saint Michel Market is king of flea markets! Definitely worth the visit. I
finally checked it out this past Sunday with friend and fellow fine artist
& illustrator, Peter Ferguson (you can view his artwork here) Our mission? To find some used frames.
Oh, THEY'VE GOT frames!
Parts of the market can be very claustrophobic. The facility
(featuring two treasure finding floors) is a curiously curated over stimulated
maze of vintage visuals and jumbled junk.
You can find practically anything there. Yes, ANYthing! Even
stuffed bears?? Sure.
Peter with all his new found frames. He jested that carrying
all those frames around made him a 'mark': 'Oh, you like frames?? I GOT frames!'
I picked up these 3 frames from two separate vendors. Can't wait
to create works for them - especially the larger one. Old frames have so much
character in them. (The image in the small frame at the lower right is a
reproduction, not an original.)
