# About The Framed Word

The Framed Word is a small studio in Hamilton, Ontario making biblical scene art: pictures of the moments Scripture records, printed at 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17 inches and framed by hand. It grew out of the same Hamilton family of work as the Sons of Scripture men's ministry, and it holds every piece to one standard: the art points at a passage, and the passage is always named.

The standard

## What is each piece held to?

**Named for its passage.** Every piece carries the reference it pictures on its placard, and this site links each passage in full. Art that will not tell you where it came from in the text is decoration; these are signposts.

**A scene inside the text.** The pictures stay answerable to the words. If the passage puts four men on a roof, the picture does not add a fifth for composition's sake.

**Two honest sizes.** 8.5 x 11 and 11 x 17, both standard frame sizes, chosen so a piece can be re-matted or re-framed years from now without custom work. Which size suits which wall, including the run of wall a triptych needs, is laid out in [the sizing guide](https://theframedword.com/collection/#sizing).

**Sold plainly.** There is no cart, and no price appears on this site that has not been quoted to you first. You email, you get a real answer about cost and availability, and you decide. That is the whole transaction.

The family of work

## Who is behind this?

The Framed Word is a [Blue Crane Works](https://bluecraneworks.ca/) property, from the same Hamilton studio family as the [Sons of Scripture](https://sonsofscripture.com/) men's ministry, which gathers men every Saturday in Hamilton and Grimsby for Scripture, prayer and accountability. The ministry is where the convictions behind this art get lived out in a room of men week after week; the shop is those convictions put on walls.

That connection is also the honest answer to why this catalogue looks the way it does: scenes with weight in them, chosen for whoever they speak to, and an argument [from the text itself](https://theframedword.com/biblical-art-and-the-second-commandment/) for why picturing these moments is faithful work.

Practicalities

## Common questions

### Is the collection open?

It is open. Six works are on the [collection page](https://theframedword.com/collection/) now, including the *Even to Your Old Age* triptych, and more are being framed. Email to ask about any of them.

### How do I reach the studio?

Email [sonsofscripture@gmail.com](mailto:sonsofscripture@gmail.com). It is the studio family's address, shared with the [Sons of Scripture](https://sonsofscripture.com/) ministry, and it reaches a person. A dedicated studio address is coming; this one will keep working either way.

### Will there be commissions or custom sizes?

Nothing is promised here that is not yet true. Everything on the collection page is two sizes, framed. If you want a scene that is not hanging yet, say so in an email: it may already exist unframed, or be worth making. Formal commissions are not open, and this page will say so plainly on the day they are.
