Default Picture frames?

I've got a couple of prints I'd like to get framed, they're already matted and stuff, 16x20, just wondering if anyone had any ideas as to where to go to get the frames?

I checked out one of those custom framing places but they're talking like $100 each, which seems high to me.

I tried looking around for a cheap picture with the same size, but haven't been able to find anything yet.

They're animation prints so something simple is best I think.

Any suggestions?

I've always found that the price to get things framed is very high. Combine that with the fact that it seems most prints never fit in any standard frame size. My two suggestions are to check those do-it-yourself frame kits to see if they might be big enough. You can get those at Michaels. One thing that I've considered doing, but haven't actually done yet, is just getting some glass cut (or maybe a nice plastic) at a hardware store then putting together my own frame. That route might be able to save a bit of cash.

Ikea does pretty good frames for their price, but the sizes generally don't fit north-american paper sizes as well.

Agreed. They have 50% off sales once in a while - or you can get 50% off if you do 3 pics. They are by far the best deal I could find and the quality is great.
