The posters are here, the posters are here, OMG!

The posters prints from shortrunposters arrived over the weekend, they were slightly smaller than what I had in mind, but perfectly sized otherwise, they are matte finish and really good color reproduction too. It's a bit concerning how good this is, I don't understand how other companies can survive when this one printer had done me so extraordinarily well. There's reasons to suspect I might have hit the 'motherlode', so to speak, a wholeseller who also offers retail services on the side without much marketing to omake extra cash.

Regular readers will remember I've been talking about getting custom posters printed for my apartment for a good half year, and now I have finally accomplished my desire. All six posters were ai-generated using Gemini ai and are 'hand-drawn' representations of Kathmandu city.

Oh and I mounted a couple of them already too, two have been put on walls using my sneaky 'cardboard mount' technique. Two large strips of cardboard stuck to the back of the posters using tapes, and the cardboard stuck to the wall using velcro. So the posters are stuck to the strips of cardboard using pretty solid tape, but in the back so they're not seen at all. The effect is so good, and the perspective is really good that people have touched the posters interested by the mounting way.

There's four posters left to mount. Two are almost finished...I'll pick them up when I have some spare time, and there's not enough cardboard for the remaining two. Also I made a minor mistake and they're copies of the same illustration, but ah well, guests will think I really really like that one. Hah.

Good things are happening, this is exciting!
