Window to nowhere (big print time again!)

I've said it before, but big prints are fun!!! :biggrin:

Sold a print a few weeks ago that got installed in a hotel in Breckenridge. It fits in a window that looks from the lobby into the restaurant, so they wanted to block the view with a local image. They dug my image of Mayflower Gulch, just over the Tenmile Range from Breck. Once installed, it measures 18 feet long by about 7 feet tall. This pic is from one of the installers, but I'm hoping to get up and see it in person someday soon! Thanks for looking!

That is a cool photo and an even cooler print and install. Congrats Brent. (LF pays off every once in a while :-)

Impressive, Brent! Glad you found a home for it so quickly. :toast:
I assume this is the one you made on the last trip to Mayflower?

Was this a single print, or multiple pieces ??

Thanks guys!

John-- yup, every time I think of bagging the large format, something like this comes along and drags me back in!

BIll-- nope, from a trip a few years ago actually. But basically the same comp. :)

Jim--Thanks man! appreciated!

Bill, I forgot to answer your print question. It was printed on a self adhesive ink jet material here at Qube, in four panels. Then the install guys posted it up two panes at a time, pressed the material in, then cut to fit just right in each 24"x24" window.

Dude, that is sweet!! Great concept and the finished product looks exactly like a window. I'm sure the commission wasn't bad either. Congratulations Brent! :toast:

So Brent, what can I say that the others haven't already so many times? Sweet? No, they used it. Awesome? Taken. Congratulations? Nope. Cool? Done. Crap Brent, I don't know what to say. Maybe just a trite "Geez, it's soooo big!"
