We talk so much about keeping the artwork as it left the artist's hands. Get a load of this quandry: The artist has done his art on corrugated mailing boxes, yellow mailing envelopes, and the top half of letters. "So-o-o-o," you think? Well, the post office, of course, put its adhesive backed, pink and white sticker at the top and over some of the artwork on some of these as well as other stickers of cancellation. There is no way to find these to be part of the artwork or in any way charming.
My customer has a collection of these--the are by a western cowboy and quite appealing--that were sent to her husband over the years. She wants some framed for Christmas. The mailing boxes have to be cut up in order to be framed, but what is this doing to the pristine condition of the art? The letters can be framed intact. The yellow mailers have the same problem as the boxes--ugly stickers. I will try to un-du them, but I'm not too hopeful.
ANY ideas are welcome. (This business is one challange after another, isn't it, keeping life very interesting.)
