Bywater Framing

I somehow managed to win a sketch done by artist Ariel Diaz drew during a New Orleans FanExpo 2022 panel. I immediately knew I wanted to frame and hang it, and because of the character depicted - Catwoman - I had a couple of specific ideas regarding colors and frames. There are a couple of online custom frame stores, but they all lacked the right frame, mat, or both. Plus I realized I didn't want to try mounting the sketch myself and potentially damage it, so I went to Bywater Framing to see what they could do.I made an appointment online, which was easy enough. When I got there I told them I wanted a glossy black frame and purple mat. Not only did they have both, they had multiple options to choose from! I deferred to their judgement on how much mat to leave visible and think it was the right call.Speaking of leaving things to them, they recently started a "Framer's Choice" option. They say: "Bring us any art up to 16x20 and we will design and frame each piece for the flat rate of $70. We select the mat, moulding, glass type and display. We guarantee the final product will have a greater retail value and our best eye for design." If you want to get something framed by local professionals, but don't want to sell your kidney to do so and are flexible about the end result, this is a great idea. You could end up with something very fun or beautiful, and $70 is significantly cheaper than what I paid.Would I say they did a good job? In my inexperienced opinion, yes. Not cheap, but well done. If I have something else nice to get framed, I will consider coming back and doing "Framer's Choice."

I brought in four pieces to be framed, two small and two large. The woman there helped me pick one out by making multiple suggestions and pricing for each one that I liked. I didn't feel pressured at all to go with expensive frames or unnecessary matting or other services. It was a bit pricey but they all look perfect and well worth the price!

It's hard to recommend this place enough. Bywater Framing has framed five of my pieces and I've gotten top notch service every time. The staff are knowledgable and worked with me to get the look I was going for--great suggestions! And the framing looks great. Shout out to the employees and the owner and there's always some great art on the walls in there.

The best framing in town!! Quick turnaround and amazing service! I'd definitely go back again and recommend this to friends!

first off, this space is cute af. i love my experience every time i come here. if you need a custom frame, this is the place!

Bywater framing rules. They make 30 dollar prints look like 300 dollar prints and 300 dollar prints look like 3,000,000,000 dollar prints. Go to bywater framing.

I have several pictures framed at Bywater framing and they are always great. The service is friendly and prices are very reasonable.

Love Bywater Framing. They picked a very cool frame I never would have thought would go with my painting and it looks amazing! Great quality and a good price!

I dropped off a painting to get framed with Chris last week and I couldn't be happier! I was having a hard time figuring out what color matting to choose and what kind of frame to put it in and Chris was so helpful, he really has a great eye for what works best with each piece he works on. He also has a gallery space in the front with really cool art. Will come back if I need anything else framed again. Thanks Chris!
