Karl,

It’s a typo in the notes. It should read 48×48 for both the final art and output specs.

why is it that your final art file specs say 8×8 at 300dpi…but your output is 48×48?

Thanks for a great tutorial. This really inspired me to make larger, ‘art’ versions of some of my illustrations as I progress.

I currently run the print department at a sign shop here in my town. I’ve got 3 printers with capabilities up to 8′ wide. Art such as this is what I would prefer to be doing, but my company just doesn’t want to go there. They said, and I quote “artist’s are too picky, we just don’t want to deal with it”. Looks like I may have to go out on my own.

Yes I located a local service bureau who can run out large format prints onto a matte canvas substrate. A good national franchise that can do this is “Fast Signs” but when I checked their prices it was about $45 more than what I paid for the large format printout and that didn’t include the wood framing the other place included.

Obviously larger towns will make this easier to compare and shop around.

Did you use a local printer, or did you find a good one online?

Yeah, something similar to the classes already posted, but in video format, i.e. a walkthrough of the methods used to get from a blank piece of paper to the finished project. Something like, for example, Photoshop Workbench, but obviously, done sequentially as you’d have to turn 8 hours into 10 minutes.

I am currently exploring an option to use ustream to document with via video. But when something takes 8hrs it’s a bit hard to bake it down for video. Perhaps some “Methods” driven short videos explaining certain things would be better?
