Spring, spring, the rainbow's daughter Polychrome

The architecture is based on what I see when I look out my window. Sigh.

tugrik, just how ginormously fuck-off huge can you print stuff out at nowadays? I blew off doing a gallery show this year in part because I didn't want to have a ton more art to haul west but I think this one needs to be wall-sized...

May I beg the ok to icon this, and if so is cropping also ok?

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

Well, I did say that your icons lack saturation, overall! Sure, go ahead; crop however you like - there's no way this'd be coherent otherwise.

Reminds me of a Lemon Jelly video...

I have the entire '64-'97 video collection... this is closest to 'I wanna be with you', but it's got some quality of 'all the ducks' as well. :-}

42" max width. Length can get safely up to 205" or so, usually.

Using the LJ posted image for aspect ratio, this means an image of 42" x 70" almost exactly, for a total of 20.5sqFt.

Medias range from $3.10 (bond paper) to $7 (canvas) per square foot... so anywhere from $63.55 to $143.50 depending on media you'd print it on.

Of course, if you wanted bigger, we could always do it in sections... :)

Sections are sooooo tempting. Someday, someday… maybe my next exhibition, whenever that is…

Got something like the stuff we used for my show? I like a bit of texture. (Although printing it on canvas might be good too - I could experiment with the framing thing, and subsequent disassembly for easier cross-country transport since we'll be moving!)

Depends on just hoe much texture you want. Your show was on photo-rag, which is considered a very light texture.

The only size I of canvas in stock is 36". All the rest of my 42" papers currently here are either matte-smooth or semimatte (smooth and lustre). If you want 42"-wide textured I'd have to order in a roll!

This piece would probably look excellent on the Hahnemuhle sugar-cane. Similar to Photo Rag's texture, ever so slightly warmer (but not as warm as the bamboo).

That is really lovely!

[schrodi-kitten.livejournal.com]

Awesome!

This is really great, but it seems to me that the un-chromatized parts of the image are a little hard to make out. A slightly darker gray or a thicker line weight would help if that's a bug rather than a feature. Right now, at first glance, it resolves into "some lines" rather than "dim urban landscape".

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

I was liking that part.

[postrodent.livejournal.com]

YMMV. I totally accept that my opinion is just that. :)

[shatterstripes.livejournal.com]

This is deliberate; they started as black lines and were far too demanding of focus. They're not supposed to be the first thing you notice.

Looking at this image, without reading your comment, I knew it was about Boston. I swear they only sell dour colored paint, stone and brick there.

[waywind.livejournal.com]

Wow. Yeah, this one looks like it needs a whole wall to spread out on. :)

I need to re-read that book sometime... despite how many times I read it as a kid, I can't seem to remember how it goes now. This Polychrome looks like a much stronger character than her Oz sister, though... sort of a Rainbow Brite danceclub generation rather than a Victorian gauzy fairy generation.

Oh Gawds that would make a cool wall mural... seriously, Peg, there needs to be a 'Peg for Sale' website in the near future...
