I took the "back way to my job at CLNP..turning left thru the Jackson-Perkins pear orchards in Jacksonville.....I loved it!
There was a wildlife park Applegate I worked at in my "off hours" from CL...It was shut down by the State govt and moved to the https://greatcatsworldpark.com/...its predecessor.....
Glad that part of GP did not vanish.

These are 16" square, in high gloss, so very reflective....but they have a depth to them that is quite stunning in person.

WOW!!! I am on my wife's 16" Mac and the images dont look good..I will move to my 30"pc and take another look Greg!
Many thanks!!!

I have received an email from Roger Dean, the artist who did the album covers for the British rock group "ASIA".

He does NOT have an actual "posters" for Asia with his art but does have posters with his art.
Very unique, very unusual and extremely colorful!!!

Thanks again Greg!

Appreciate you doing this Scott!
Yes this is what I am looking for.

As I stated above, Roger Dean, the artist of the album covers I mentioned sent me info.

Now his work is on heavy poster paper and not any album covers but he and I are discussing image files for me to use to print metal..

THANK YOU!
Dan

I had one printed by Vivid Metal Prints that I was quite happy with (20x30, glossy). It had quite a lot of black on it and turned out wonderfully.

Re blacks and metal prints, Metal Mouth did this one for me (glossy) and, in direct full sun, the blacks do have a deep purple-ish tint. The recipient didn't care so neither did I. In normal lighting conditions the tint is not visible. I suppose if outdoor display (or really bright interior lighting) is the goal then some small test prints would be in order.



I've also done some face mounted acrylics that turned out well. Nevada Art Printers is a well-regarded source but too pricey for the people I catered to.

Dan, you might ask for samples from your intended metal printer. In NorCal, I use largemetalprints.com. They sent me four 4x6 samples of work I intended to print. I'm sure other metal printers will offer you that convenience.

Thanks and REALLY appreciate your example Tom!

Thanks Howard....the posters I wish to "create" do have lots of black AND dark blues and such.....
Acrylics are also an interest of mine....
Thanks Howard!

^ You're welcome. FWIW, I took a look at Nevada Art Printers acrylic prices and they seem pretty reasonable, so either they're not charging as much these days or I mis-remembered (which happens more than I'd like )

I have a pretty good printer near me, "Picture This"- Jeff Lunn..he is very good and I "bounce" things off of him and get to see in "real time" what I am interested in BUT..metal and acrylic are very scarce for him..
Thanks again..my "shadows" are getting shorter as is my memory.
