Where to Get Large Digital Images of the Frog Morton Art?

[SBC]

Does anybody know?

I'm thinking of framing large-ish prints for my wall. I love these. But most of the images I'm pulling up online will pixilate too greatly when blown up.

Let me know if you know where to get these. Thanks!

Perfect wall art for the man cave! Love this idea

Also check if the print house will process them. Some won't due to copyright issues.

Not sure if you you've tried this.

Google images search:
>tools
>size
>large (only shows high quality, so lower pixilation issue)

They are all tin photos though. No flat scans of labels off tins.

1. Buy a tin of Frog Morton
2. Peel the label off and toss the tin.
3. Cross light the label and take a high resolution picture of it.
4. Scale up resolution 100% in Photoshop using "Nearest Neighbor" to reduce softening.
5. Find an unscrupulous printer to make a print from the label art.

Easy peasy.

Love to see what you come up with. Along with countless others over the years I’ve bugged Mary to sell prints of the Frog Morton art.

I’m not 100% sure of the details but there is a way to upscale digital photos. First, look for a free upscaler. Then on the upscaled photo find a free editor to change the dpi/ppi to 300. I’m not sure how far this will get you but I’ve used to successfully to get low res/small images sized large enough to print on a t-shirt.

that's how I got my Dysfunctional Family Circus t-shirt.

Yeah, I'd say the best option for a hi res digital is to scan the label yourself - something like an EPSON V series can probably scale you to 24 x 24 inches at a reasonable viewing distance.

That said, an alternative could be to just get an artist on Etsy to commission a painting or something. Might actually be cheaper than a print.

An Epson V600 can make scans at 2500ppi at 16 bit, which is how I made the original scans of the pre WW1 Barling catalog that I published. It did a remarkably good job of scanning, but keep in mind that actual optical resolution figures are somewhat lower. I also had the services of a world class digital restorer to tweak the scans, me.

Like this one my Girl Friend did.
