I think people would love to be able to purchase one done perfectly to display in their homes. By the way, TT, copying images for your personal use is something we all do, but re-posting them for the general public and thereby ruining someone's potential income is not so cool, IMHO. Hey KVT, Tiki-Tonga is not trying to stop anyone from pursuing anything. As a matter a fact, I too, would love to purchase a quality reproduction of this image. May I direct you to page 1 of this thread where a desktop wallpaper version of this image was offered up already by Kona Chris on Jul 16, 2005. The posting and offering of a low resolution computer desktop image on my part, cannot compete with a full resolution highly detailed scan. You, having 25 years in the graphics production management industry, should know this. So I hardly see that as ruining someone's potential income. If thegreenman chooses to make and sell a print of this image, then that's great, I would buy one. If he does not choose to do so, and instead posts a link to a high resolution version of the image, then that's great too. And I thank him either way. KVT, your ill informed assumptions are "not so cool" IMHO.
