Another "Gothified" Mucha for Gothic BC. This one was considerably more work than the first one since the source image was a very small, very heavily compressed JPEG. The original I started with was a little smaller than this and the finished product is four times larger than this. In order to deal with the nasty compression artifacts the entire image was essentially redrawn / repainted.
I'll be putting this on some Zazzle gear tomorrow evening and maybe offering up a version without the logo for prints.
Sat, 2008/12/06 - 1:18pm  Once again I have been been ordered to create a Christmas wish-list, mostly for Elaine's benefit... Reality:
- Dress shirts - 17" or 17½" neck, 33/34 sleeve
- Dress pants: 34" waist, 33" inseam or unhemmed
- Silk, satin, or similar boxer shorts, medium
- Ties for work
Thu, 2008/12/04 - 11:48am We have a representative democracy. We don't vote for the Prime Minister, we vote for our local representatives. "Strategic voting" where people vote for the local party representative simply for the sake of which MP that party supports as party leader is the real subversion of our democracy. The people that are screaming loudest are the don't-get-it people that didn't pay attention in high-school Social Studies and voted for whatever nitwit riding on the Conservative ticket in their riding, regardless of that individual's qualifications to represent their riding in parliament.
