    Just got an original inked sketch from my favorite web comic artist. The paper dimensions are somewhat odd: 33cm x 30cm. Finding a fitting picture frame is impossible without ordering a custom one. I settled with a 40cm x 40cm frame. Not ideal but the best thing that is affordable.

      @adiwan I think a lot of frames intend for you to use a mat to fill in the space, I have a hard enough time finding frames to accommodate (US) standard stuff like 8x10's or 8.5x11 (also, why two standards so close?!)

        @scribus I'll use a piece of black cardboard as a backing material like in the attached picture. I did the same with all my framed comics. The picture I want to frame is still being flattened. It has been shipped rolled up, so it'll take some time to straighten. I could make a passepartout but I don't like them as they need to overlap with the picture. I could buy a custom made frame but it costs 2.5 times as much as the closest off-the-shelf model. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875948
