Student Creates Recycled Framing Business
Nathan Kilpatrick is an art student here at KSU, and has been actively pursuing a framing business. Unlike many others in his situation, Nathan has been resourceful in his endeavor. Instead of purchasing studio room, he has utilized his own garage space. Instead of ordering new framing pieces, he recycled old frame parts. And even in his painting, he reuses canvases to maintain an environmentally friendly practice.
After having his frames displayed with student art in the senior art show, he saw there was a real need for good, affordable framing options. “I realized that a lot of people were going to the big corporate frame shops around Kennesaw paying really outrageous amounts of money for something I could do for a fraction of the cost. That’s where I first got the idea of starting a business of my own.” Commited but unsure of where to start, Nathan picked up mouldings wherever possible and made the best of what he could get. Recently, however, the framing gods smiled on Nathan and his fellow art students.
With that, Killer Frames was born. “I couldn’t believe it at first, but I think this is going to be great for me and other art students. I was getting along pretty well before this, but now I’m ready to really make an impact.” “I want to cater to Kennesaw students for right now,” says Nathan, “but I can see it growing to serve a larger area, too. I just want people, students or otherwise, to know that they can come to me and get the absolute best frame-job for their money.”

As it stands, art was never one of my strong points although I wish it were. This Dude has got a good thing going for himself, and it can definately turn into something lucritive!

Art is one of my fantasy.. I used to dreamed of it, but unluckily I never get the chance to get involved in it..
Congratulations to Nathan Kilpatrick, he has done a very good job.. Keep up the good work.
