eBay has giant Radiohead posters, Pink Floyd posters, Incubus posters, and other big band posters (3' x 5')...


but what i really want is a giant wall poster of Picasso's Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (those 5 prostitutes). I can't find it ANYWHERE on the net, and don't really know where else to look.

Here's an example of the painting i'm looking for, and i'm not nearly looking to pay that much for it. I'm looking more in the region of $50-under, as i'm looking for this to cover one main wall and that's about it (not looking to frame or anything)

your best bet would be to find the museum holding that work right now and seeing if they have any reproductions in their gift shop.

altho if you want to buy some original work :) LMK i have tons.

museum's don't carry those giant-sized murals i want most of the time :( Plus, generally they're very overpriced, and I hate prints that have the artist name/title/museum taking up a good 25% of the picture (i.e. a huge 2-3" border around the print)

yeah, basically i'm looking for that picasso painting poster in something close to life-sized (life-sized that painting is 8' x 7'8"). Something along the lines of 5' x 5' or 4'x4' is fine

why not just bring the poster to a printing place and see if they can enlarge it for you.I am not certain what effect this will have on the quality,and it may cost you an arm an a leg.
4x4 and 5x5 is a hefty chunk of real estate.

yeah, but i see radiohead 3'x5' posters go for ~$15 on eBay, figured somewhere would print Picassos out and sell for $30-40

hmm.. dunno, if you have any friends who are artists, ask them to replicate it, just buy some canvas @ walmart..stretch to fit the dimensions and have at it.

it wouldnt be at all difficult to replicate that work,just time consuming.
