Monday Morning Mirth
happy anniversary speed freak
OMG! It’s been a whole year since I entered the ranks of DSL! While gone are the days of waiting endlessly for downloads (and I believe I got more housework done in those times by being the multitasking maniac I am) now HERE are the hours and hours of finding and playing with online goodies!
And because I’m a Big Fat Enabler, now you can too!
Here is my current favorite: the Rasterbator!
You can upload a favorite jpg picture under 1Mb and it will BLOW IT UP to the ginormous dimensions of your choice, then give you a PDF file you can print out in *Tiles*
I watched S. Coppola’s “Marie Antoinette” this weekend, hiding from the HEAT.This movie was an unbeilavable portrait of excess and frivolity, just a slice, not much plot or substance, but oh those SHOES! OH the photography, especially the FOOD shots…
After you print out your tiles you piece them together mosaic style as a poster! Below is my new 25″ wide X 22″ high — 6 page poster. You can use many, many more pages to get a HUGE poster!
– –the picture I started with was a very loRez (72ppi: 4.5 x 3.2 inches — 35k) very small JPG but it gave nice dotty results using the online Rasterbator
– to get smaller dot size, use a higher resolution image to start with, and download their standalone app which lets you choose more detailing
– beware: darker pictures take more ink!

I have always LOVED that photo! That is so fun. We just downloaded vacation photos last night, and there’s one I would love to put through the rasterbator. Thank you for the link!
Thanks for the link! DSL certainly has given us the advantage to stay on longer! It is a shame that Sophia didn’t inherit all of her dad’s filming qualities huh? Mabe she’s still a diamond in the rough…
You’re a hoot! Thanks for the link.
First of all, you have to love the name of the software! Secondly, I can see this being a time-suck!
thanks for the link! i love doing stuff like this for a friends party or event in their honor. love the photo!
I remember that picture well! Manos does such wonders for a girl :-)
Now that’s funny–I remember that photo being taken, with all of us playing with Manos on our heads!
How cool it’s still in good use!

rasterbator… it just kinda rolls off the tongue! Thanks for the link, I can see myself spending thousands of dollars on ink now!
