Both drawings and prints are translucent. Either looks wonderful backed by a tinted tissue, and a heavy pure white paper behind that. For a gallery presentation and some home display circumstances, I bind the three sheets at the top with broad linen tape, attach flat linen loops along the length of this top edge, and insert through the loops a brushed copper or cast iron rod that sometimes terminates in finials. The rod rests on copper or cast iron nails driven into the wall. This presentation looks vaguely Japanese, like a scroll painting. The sheets hang loosely against one another, like the layers of a kimono.

Framing the prints starts with dry mounting them on foam core, or on a colored tissue and then on foam core. They are then floated in a box frame, sometimes with liners, sometimes without so that there is a narrow reveal between the edge of the image and the frame. I've made most of the frames for my work (the big ones are hollow, for lightness). The options below have neither glass nor plexi. I generally varnish the prints for protection.

Frame option 1): Distressed, painted wood in subtle colors and liners that are either hand-painted or wrapped with handmade paper or both: "Oh, look what I found in my potting shed in the Hamptons". These look great, and I have had lots of orders for these. Frame option 2): Stained and polished hardwood (maple, generally), with liners of Dupioni silk: Luscious, modern, restrained. Frame option 3): A girl can sometimes look equally good in the demure or in something that is completely over the top, like a huge, gilt, carved extravaganza. I haven't made anything like this and don't intend to, but a buyer might have fun with this one.

The pencil originals need a more protected presentation, as they are not fixed and should not be. Clients have done both of the following: 1) Enclosing the piece as first described above, rod and all, in a box frame under plexiglass; 2) Taping the top of the drawing to a backing, matting it, and framing it traditionally. One client did this using a non-traditional thin-profile frame made of soldered, brushed angle iron. Dynamite.

If I do the hanging / framing, or if my framer does it, the materials used are archival. Written / pictorial instructions detailing most methods are available if you prefer your framer to do the work.

Hanging of all large work is most safely done with mirror hangers.
