Anyone interested in a subversive poster print?

(See attached)

It started off as a Photoshop lesson for a classmate and evolved into something I wouldn't actually mind having framed on my wall. A3, etcetera. I'll be charging cost of printing + 5 euros for S&H.

Hi Mark, I'd actually take one of these!

Also, you should consider submitting it to threadless as a t-shirt design. This is exactly the sort of thing they would print.

that is a fantastic image! it has something of a 2001 a space odyssey feel about it... it is also one of my favorite films. I get the sun reference here of course, but am i missing something, is there a message in the poster that i am not seeing?

I'm actually having an argument about this on Facebook: VY Canis Majoris wins out on sheer volume, but R136a1 has mass and is still fucking big. Poster may change in detail. :)

Donal: I want to parody the whole #occupy-whatever movement by doing something completely nonsensical. 

[gerryk]

Nah... leave it. Mass has nothing on sheer physocal size. R136a1 is probably going to blow up soon anyway.

Is that 30 times the mass of our sun or am I reading 3*10^1 wrong?

[Mark Grealish]

You weren't reading it wrong: I expected geeks to notice the low number and see through the poster. 

I did take feedback onboard: I swapped mass for volume. 9.261x10^9 is a much more impressive number. :)

Don't tempt me...

A3. Gerry. Maybe framed.

Ballpark figure?

[Mark Grealish]

Not sure, yet. Depends on the final print run. If I want a poster print, as opposed to an oversize photo print, maybe 40 euros per. I'm pricing around, right now. I may wind up having it done in America.

[Mark Grealish]

What I've priced:

$40.75 per 27"x40" semi-gloss poster (my image is all vectors, so it'll scale up just fine).

$10 shipping to a friend in Texas. 

Probably $20-$30 shipping from Texas to Ireland.

I'm going to say $60 USD/€ 45 per poster, as I'll have to ship them on from my house.

[Mark Grealish]

I have a couple of A3 test prints that I ran off at school before the break. I'll pin them up in the Labs on Tuesday when I'm in Galway.  

[Carles Sentis]

Great I'm sure they will look great in the labs...
