My vision is a mosaic poster of the american flag...made from picture tiles of firearms.

If you submit pictures, you will be able to say, "hey look here, see that? thats my 1911, and over here, thats my AR"

I will have to purchase the software, and i am also checking on printing prices, and these posters wont be super cheap, maybe 15 dollars or more, with maybe 1 dollar per poster going to help support the site. But all of this is yet to be determined. The selling of the posters will be offsite on its own webspace.

What i need you folks to do, is start submitting pictures. any and all pictures that involve firearms. range pic, glamour shots, crappy pics, doesnt matter.....I just need picture BULK.

Pictures can be submitted one of two ways, either by posting them here on this thread...or by Emailing them to me

drarin (at) gmail.com

More information is forthcoming as i get this going. Submitting a picture is NOT a commitment to buy a poster. However submitting a picture gives me all rights to use the image in the creation of this poster, and nothing else, and does not provide you partial "ownership" to the rights to the poster, or any profits gained from the sales of said poster.

also, submittal of a picture is no guarantee that it will be used in the poster...but you got a pretty damn good chance, considering the number of pictures i am going to need to do this.

OOOhhhhhh, I like this idea. Arinvolvo, this sounds like a home-run.

I'll dispatch a couple emails your way shortly.

Thanks a lot! Keep me updated with your progress!

American Flag?....how do you replicate the red-white-blue? or does background color matter.
 
This is a great idea Arin, I will dig up whatever pictures I can.

Do you want pictures of people with guns, or pictures of just guns?
 
people with guns, dogs with guns...whatever, just as long as it has guns in it.

and as for the colors, as far as i know, the mosaic software takes the pictures, and approximates the average color of the picture...then arranges them accordingly...then after that, you can colorize the pictures a bit, to get the colors looking better.

here is an example. but this one is a little more colorized than i hope to have to resort to.


Please look here for an example of what i am trying to do
 
this last post got me thinking...if you have a LOT of pics to submit, please please please, put them in a folder, right click the folder, compress them to a zip file, and attach the zip file to an email. that will make this process about a billion times easier on me...and make it more likely a picture of yours will be included in the poster.
 
Sorry about that. I was going to just give you the link to my photo bucket account after I cleared the crap out.
But I was in a hurry cause my IP is about to go down for awhile
 
Think that'll do it for the Sigs now

Bite your tongue. I think I can come up with a few more.
