The staff was lovely and Mr. Gibson himself is great. Very friendly. His building is kind of a hole in the wall so make sure that you look up at the sign. Also, make sure to ring the doorbell and someone will promptly let you in.

One of those places where everyone goes out of their way to help you get exactly what you need. Really lovely place - cant believe I almost went to Michaels to get my poster framed.

Went to get some posters and art work sized and priced and got one done the same day. The bloke that assisted me (Mr Gibson?) was great, gave me all the time he had, showed me around other artworks in his shop and gave me some very good prices. I will definitely be going back to get all my pieces framed here.
