Spring, spring, the rainbow's daughter Polychrome

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

[info]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?

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!

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".


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

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.

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...
