Dunno if this has been done before, but this is pretty cool:

I can’t see it - my company doesn’t think it’s safe.

What is it? (you can’t tell, but I’m yelling since I’m the nosiest person and I hate being thwarted by a computer program)

From the FAQ:  
The Rasterbator creates huge, rasterized images from any picture. Upload an image, print the resulting multi-page pdf file and assemble the pages into extremely cool looking poster up to 20 meters in size.

Can you get to this link?

I saw this somewhere and posted almost the same titled post in my LJ but now I don’t remember if I saw it here first or elsewhere.

Anyway, I’ve been thinking of rasterbating a King Kong pic for my boyfriend but I think I’ll need to pick up a couple new ink cartridges first. Unfortunately, he doesn’t really have a wall big enough for a big mural.
