You should make giant prints of some of your artwork, like poster sized. I would definitely buy that. Or is there any way its possible to make our own? I would love to have a giant

on my wall.

12 1/4 x 22

judging by the file size i think it's got to be a vector map, so you could blow it up as big as you want

amirite, marko?

lol at work over the summer one of the guys asked me to help him move a plotter into his office and i was like 'so... can i watch this plot?'

he gave me a pretty odd look.

plotters always make me think about what people in the 1920s thought the future would look like

"Why johnny, you'll never have to draw again! We've got Top Men working on making drawing machines for you!"

So whats the best way to blow it up and get it printed out big? I'm pretty dumb at most things techinical.

take it to kinkos. they have large format printers.

it's pretty hard to fuck up printing a pdf, but ymmv.

So just save it on something and bring it to kinkos and i'll be able to select the size there?

yeah, burn it to a cd, take it to kinkos or some other copy shop and tell them how big you'd like it printed.

marko made it in indesign, so i'm assuming it's not a bitmap pdf.

Okay thanks. I'd love to have that on my wall in my office. If I were to want one of the colored comic pictures blown up I'd have to get marko to give me a higher resolution scan to get it printed out bigger, right?

scans won't scale very well, they're bitmaps

you need the original vector art if you don't want lots of anti-aliasing jaggies all over the place
