MTB Canvass wall art

xand_xand

Having recently found myself single again (well me and my mountain bike remain of course)!

Down come the 'happy' memories photos and pictures in my house and i find myself with a large bare wall behind my sofa....yes ive considered hanging up the Cube Ltd on the wall - but i tihnk if i did this I would remain a singleton!!

What im after is a large mountain biking print on canvass (canvass art print) to sit nicely behind the sofa - something modern & contemporary maybe? Once came accross a canvass with like mountain bike tryre tracks or something leading accross a trail which looked smart but cant remember where i saw this.

Anyway was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction of place to look for a decent canvass art print ?

Thanks in advance

Some of those are actually quite amazing, wish I was allowed to hang things up in my flat!

That's not art! Thisis art. Cost you a little bit more mind... And they're not very big. Have a poke through the pages as I think there's three of four pieces in the thread.

There are quite a lot of print shops that can print photos onto canvas for you.

- Have a browse on pinkbike for a picture you like.

- Ask the owner if you can buy a high res copy of him.

- Get the local print shop to print the photo for you.

Job done!

Wow some of those on ebay are awesome.

Ahem, blatant self-promotion here, but some people like this one I took, which you can have on Canvas if you want.


Or this one.

Rubbish picture - you chopped the head off.

Why not get a pic of yourself (with bike!) or a pic you've taken printed? There's loads of places online where you upload a pic and they'll print it onto canvas for you (hell, I think even Tesco do it!) A bit more interesting and personal (imo!) than a generic off ebay pic.

I agree - otherwise the conversation would go ' Wow! Amazing photo - is that you?' 'No :? '

Much better to have an arty photo of you / your bike

See, I'd feel all embarrased about having a mahoosive picture of my riding blown up on my living room wall.. would seem a bit ego-centric!

Well, yes, I guess I was thinking of something more arty / silhouette rather than a massive grinning close-up photo of xand_xand on his bike

Nope, it's the summit of Elidir Fach, above the Dinorwig quarries, looking towards Snowdon.

Or just get a photo of someone else doing something that youd never have the balls to do and lie and say "Yes thats me jumping off a 200ft cliff
