I made a large life size paste up of Ripley/Sigourney Weaver from Aliens holding Newt and gun! It's from the final scene of the most excellent movie when she enters the queens nest, and is one of Sigourneys most iconic of promotional shots.
To me at least, it is a symbol of nurturing and strength. I truly love this image and I'm glad to be sharing it with random people. (Next in line is going to be Linda Hamilton/Sarah Connor holding a gun and wearing her fuck off 80's trucker sunglasses.)
It's my first and I was on my own so its not perfect but its there, proudly displayed by the old Med Centre on the main street.
To make the glue I used wheatpaste. I printed the image onto a set of 12 A3 sheets. I used a program called 'Rasterbator' to split the original and make it big.
What I want to know is how people print large paste ups on only one big sheet of paper?

I drew this dude on one of the new street bins, I think I'm going to draw one for every bin since the eye is already there!
I like Poskas.

poscas are really awesome, cute green dude/ and also you can take your design (on a usb) to any copy shop that does 'plan printing' ie huge photocopies up to A0 for archectual drawings. and they are heaps cheap really, esp if there isnt too much black in the print.
