His Sign Read: Will Sell Organs For Framing.

I find it very unfortunate that frames for square images are impossible to find. Is the square not special enough? I always thought it was hip to be square. At least, that's what Huey Louis said. Was he incorrect? Did he misspeak? Perhaps. I suppose anything is possible. Now, I know some of you may be thinking, "Oh Ryan, why don't you just cram it into a 24x30 inch frame?" Should I have to compromise? I don't think so. I think it's utterly ridiculous that I should have to be held down by everybody else in the world that don't shoot square format. Mark my words, I will be Unchained (Capitalized as a reference to something else. If you can guess correctly what that reference is, I'll give you a piece of candy.) and transcend the world's rectilinear idea of itself. I rather like the uniformity of equal matting on all sides of the image. Does that make me unreasonable? I hope not. All I can say is that, for what I paid, they had better be the best damn frames I've ever laid my eyes upon.

They may not be the most high-end... but IKEA sells square frames, and that's where I get mine.

Yeah, I know Ikea has frames. They max out at a little over 19" and I was really looking for a frame that was 24"x24". I don't have any beef with Ikea frames, they're just too small.

Just one frame at 24 x 24 right? There are eight others in the show!

They're 16x16 images. We talked about this.
