I bought this signed Jimmy Diresta print back in 2019 and it’s been sitting in the postage mailer ever since. I’m not proud of that but I am proud how this frame turned out. Jimmy makes the old fashion printing plates and then prints these using some very old printing presses that he’s restored over the years. I think the old presses are mechanical works of art. I used Fusion360 to design the 1 piece frame to be cut from half inch thick Baltic Burch plywood. I then used the Easel software from Inventables to carve the Diresta stencil logo graphic into the face of the frame. I used a very thin piece of polycarbonate for the frame lens and then used the actual cardboard mailer that the print was shipped in as the backer. I love the way the back looks because Jimmy has his stencil spray painted in green paint on the mailer. It really ties everything together. The Fusion 360 design file link is below and well as links to other items used in the project. Thanks to Inventables for sponsoring my creative adventures and to Jimmy Diresta for being who he is!
