hey lets start our own ebay art shop........i too love playing around with photoshop done a little screen printing at college on my design course but not heaps but love to experiment when painting and drawing and stuff
send me a pic if you got one so i can see what it looks like

Don't get me started on eBay, The Disease has spread there too, I allready sell Land Rover computer cut decals there, to help finance the obsession....you see it spreads like Cancer...lol...

If you are into the artistic side of things, try tracing a photograph with some Transparency film then use an overhead projector to Cast the image onto paper/canvas, and then fill with paint/charcoal, etc.....ohh the old signwriting days.........
If you get some crazy ideas and need a hand get in touch with me.....never know.......

Not so long ago we found another Kittyhawk and she said "You're not taking my pic with that thing."

Funny you say that, we've had The Box now for three years, and not that long ago we got talking with the Missus, and we both agreed without any hesitation that since the Rover turned up in our lives, it totally changed our family outlook on life, our passtimes, our interests, and the amount of time we spend outdoors TOGETHER......In short, a pile of steel and alloy has enriched us as a Family more so, than any life event that I care to recollect......
Hmm, interesting......how we all react to life......
Even my two Border Collies practically tear the driveway to shreds, as soon as I call out "In The Truck""..........

I wish my missus liked the whole camping deal, she has been a couple of times but isnt real keen on it and she detests 4wding, so i guess its just myself and Marcos when he is a bit older. Matt

It's still not to late to find a new Missus Ace

I probably don't need to tell you, it's all in the delivery Matt.
We started off lightly, you know...The old let's go and find some Decidious Autumn leaves and press them inside books at home so they dry out and the kids can make Art......(works like magic for young souls....so NOT like the Internet)....
The first easy camp........ keep them warm and secure in the tents, good fire cooked feed, Steaks braised with that can of Beer that never leaves your hand when you break for Camp.....Hot Spuds with garlic butter and Salt straight from the camp fire......Dogs on guard for the Girls so they feel warm and secure in their Canvas Home.....And then when they finally wander off to the sleepy plains with nothing but the Stars and the Forrest breeze around them......You nick off to the river with your Fishing Rod, a Half a bottle of good Whiskey, and a Packet of Good Ciggies to catch that Bastard Bream..................................?????
Errrrr....works for me.........he he he.......

Being a screen printer, I from time to time, get access at work to one of our large format Digital Printers,

ciapek. Try & humour for a minute please. I've been meaning to ask this bloke how he did it, but I haven't caught up with him.

He owns an Apple Orchard & has also fitted out a new covered in (with Vinyl ??) truck which is aprox. 25' long. On the sides of the canopy, he has had a view of his orchard done from a photo. The thing is aprox. 10' high.

How is this able to be done so large?

These days it's realatively easy, One takes a Digital Photograph of said subject(The Apple Nursery), it is then processed through a RIP station (Computer program which AMPLIFIES the image and INTERPOLATES all digital data on the photograph into desired size WITHOUT effecting pixel density{errr...altering quality}) and then it's output onto a Digital Printer which uses Solvent Based Inks to print the image onto desired substrate.

If you were to come face to face with this machine, you would say it's basically an Ink Jet printer on STEROIDS, these things just run like a small computer printer, but bigger and WIDER and a bit more involved of course because of the size, but basically that's all there is to it....

Stick one in a garage for aproxx $200K, it only needs one or two operators, charge $120/ sq mtr of print at a raw cost of $20/sq mtr and you have basically killed off the entire Screen Printing Industry.......And that's progress for you..............
