I don't dude. Unless a giant of a Haro 8.2 would work. It is really big. I was told to sell it for $75 or so, so I supposed I could buy it myself and send it. I wouldn't be able to buy it and pay shipping though. That cost a good deal last time for that small frame.

I can find something here for cheaper. A K2 might show up too.

hey stinky,

I'm buying 3) 20x24 stretch canvas' for some art in my place.

On each canvas i want to do a silk screened headshot of OJ simpson, the somehow photoshop in some arms/hands doing the see no, hear no, speak no evil. This is the largest OJ photo i can find on google.

Because i cant find a good, hi-rez image of OJ, i was thinking i would do an exaggerated half tone dot screen.

and to keep the silk screen process to a minimum, probably just silk screen in one color.

what do you think? any ideas on how to do the arms/hands? Im not trying to make it look realistic or anything, just communicate the idea. I think it would be cool to do black backgrounds and use Cyan, Magenta and Yellow as the three headshot colors. what do you think would look cool and how to pull it off? I want to use a mixed media of hand painted oil on canvas and then silk screen the image on top. If you felt creative, i sure could use three Bitmap Tiffs of the three OJ's. I have the Heidelberg Filmsetter inhouse to make the film positives. I'll compensate you somehow bro. Let me know.

thanks,

joel

Wow, I was thinking about putting lipstick on a mod or the like, not a freelance project.

Why silkscreen? Might be cheaper to do some large output. I'd talk to a sign shop or vehicle graphics shop to explore your options first.
