Framed Beer Matts

Amir's Framed Beermatts

Doodlesplatter posse member, Amir, sent in these great snaps of his beer matts. I love the concept of framing something as “disposable” as coasters. Amir got the Burgerman beer matts at Broadway Cinema and had them framed at Paramount Picture Framing in the UK. Writes Amir:

I assumed broadway and paramount picture framing were in collaboration for this event. Since I haven’t seen anyone else doing this online, it makes me wonder if I was the only one who did it. Imagine that.

Nice job!

Broadway Cinema Beermats

broadwaybeer-01

Broadway Cinema launched its own ale, called Reel Ale, and to celebrate, they asked Jon to design some special beermats. One beermat (aka coaster) was available each week for four weeks. When bar patrons collect all four, they combine “to create an insight into [Jon’s] Broadway Cinema-going experience.”

Writes Jon:

For the last ten years I’ve been a regular at the great independent cinema, in the centre of Nottingham. I can’t even remember all the films I’ve seen there, but notable visits included viewing Cube, Funny Games, Cache, The Blair Witch Project, Rushmore, Pi, Dogville, Shortbus and a documentary about birds. I’ve consumed a fair amount of sweet popcorn, the odd ice-cream and since they’ve officially allowed it, many pints of beer in there.

If you were a coaster-completist, you’d also have Jon’s set of beermats for Propaganda.

Zeebzeeb Cork Coasters

Jon gave away two pairs of coasters on his website in 2005 for the most amusing and entertaining description of preference for coffee or twa.
