Ladies and Gents:
I've now got four blank walls in my office that need to be covered with 'Skins photos. I'm looking for classy stuff and thinking black and white photos would be best.
Do you all have a place in mind that's the best for getting this kind of stuff?
I did a search and came up with an old thread of Chewy's that was more oriented toward the esoteric but nothing else.
I'd appreciate anything you could offer.
Thanks!

Also you can take any photo you find online save it as a jpeg to your computer, upload it to costco photo center or any online photo lab and have them print it at any size. I normally do 8X10's which come out great no matter what resolution the pic is. Frame it and you have cheap Redskin art.

Hey,
I have some Skins and nonSkins pics I would like to have professionally print out. Has anyone had any experience with getting them blown up bigger than 8x10?

You'd be surprised at what you can find at a yard sale or flea market.
Huly's got the right idea about saving pictures as well. Everyone should have the SI Super Bowl covers printed & framed. :)

I do that all the time!
Upload pics to Costco.com or any camera store. They will tell you if the pics will look good at that size or not. A few pics they said would not look good I tried anyways and they came out great. The higher the resolution the better the pic. Costco charges 3.99 for an 11X14 then I frame them myself. If you have any questions just PM me.
If a pic is a little blurry at a small size it will not look good at a large size. You need clear pics. Also I will edit a digital pic before I send it too if there is something I want to change in the pic.

There is a site for cool figures that this one guy out in california does it is call rlcustoms.com and he does an unbelievable job on mcfarlane action figures. There will be a Lavar arrington figure coming out in Nov through www.mcfarlane.com in which lavar wears the burgundy uniform. But check out this website www.rlcustoms.com. Also there is another website in wihch the guys is based in Ashburn, Va. He does the same work with customs except he really focuses on redskins. His website is www.stupidsuck.com. These customs range for 65 to 70 bucks a pop, but they are so cool to have in your house or office.
