Anyone in Ireland can do large scale artwork for TEs?

Junsuina Chikara

Hi all. I've been giving serious thought to getting some custom artwork for my TE. Only problem is that the only person I know who can do it is Art Hong (aKa "Art's Hobbies") in the US and shipping charges are a bitch to get anything sent here. I'll probably still get the Plexi for the artwork but being temperamental about the artwork, I might make a few different designs before settling on any one thing so if there is someone local who can print the artwork for a TE, I'd prefer doing it that way. So is there anyone in Ireland that can do large high-quality prints?

^Them for printing.
For everything else...
To make some artwork, you just need the following;
An image manipulation tool (I use GIMP, some people with money swear by photoshop).
A template to go from, to match up your dimensions.
A way to find artwork you want on your stick (google :P).

Once you have the template, just push it to your image manipulator, and work from there. I think I'm the only dude in the community with self-made custom art besides Kiki, but it's not hard, just a little time consuming.
Though be sure to only get wallpaper sized images. To give you an idea of the size you're working with, a Quanba template is about 5k x 3k. I reckon the TE should be close to that.

Good sites for high-res game/anime art:

EtTuGamer.net
Danbooru.donmai.us
Konachan.com
yande.re
MiniTokyo.net

Also, Google/Bing image search.

I posted this over in the A&R forum, but I imagine he'd do TE artwork too. He's based in Ireland, hence my suggestion.

Yeah, I mentioned in a post before, but I imagine it'd get more love here. I know a guy who'll do all your custom-sticker printing for your cabs and whatnot. Might do poster prints too, can't hurt to ask. Send him an email with what you want, design and size wise, and he'll get back to you with a quote. He's done a ton of sign-installations, everything from upmarket retailers to snazzing up boats. So, plenty of experience and flexibility.

He's available at Tonybracken@gmail.com.
