egypturnashSaturday, as we were getting ourselves together to go help ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lediva move, the doorbell rang. It was FedEx with a big-ass tube.
This tube, as it transpired, contained another, smaller tube, with waxed paper wrapped around it. And embedded within that waxed paper were... two prints!
tugrik got himself a giant-ass printer recently, and is going into the art-print business. This was both a test for him and a come-on for me: I'd sent him several AI files that I thought would be torture tests, and got a couple of his test prints in return. The big one (about three and a half feet by one foot) ended up in my studio; the smaller one (two feet by six inches) ended up...
...on the oddly-angled wall next to the bathroom. Just the right size!
The strange thing about finally seeing my work printed this large is that it's not a shock - it's about the size I always saw it at through the window of Illustrator. Maybe when he solves the driver issue that aborted the 14-foot-long print he was going to try of this, it'll feel different. I dunno. It sure has a lot more impact than a little jpeg hovering on a screen does, though!
Thanks for brightening up our walls, Tug - I think there's gonna be some more stuff coming your way soon, including a significant chunk of the stuff for the show!
