looking for marine art photos for wall

gaubow · 03-28-2005, 08:23 PM

Just painted my aquarium room a bright blue and put in some crown molding up top and got 2 navy blue leather chairs. I am now looking for some rather large photographs, almost poster size, if you will of corals and marine creatures. Wonder if anyone knows of a website or anywhere near chicago that I could go to look.

You can't find prettier pictures than Travis's.

Gorgeous stuff! (Still waiting for that calendar, Travis. I haven't given up!)

Thanks LisaB!

Gaubow, I can do prints up to 16x20, matted or unmatted. LisaB posted the link to my web site, also check out my gallery by clicking "view gallery" below my name, about... let's say,

Travis and LuckyInk are two great options.

Also you can Google Images for a gazillion images, but you'll have to sift through for large format items for sale.

Also try your local Natural History Museum.

LisaB - maybe we can organize a petition drive to get Travis to produce a calendar in time for the holidays.

How many times did you have to edit that Travis to get it right? LOL

LisaB · 03-30-2005, 01:44 PM

A petition sounds great. Perhaps I should point out I'm willing to pay more than the regular "going" price for a calendar to get one with Travis's pics. It'd be worth the extra $$ to have a good marine calendar with reef photos. Those I find just don't have pictures of the quality I've grown to expect from Travis or they have too many dolphin pictures. "Look at me! I'm a flipping dolphin!"

A calendar from Lucky Ink wouldn't go amiss either!

angnak · 03-30-2005, 01:56 PM

Dolphins!! They think their so cute!!

That's sad that I got that.

LisaB · 03-30-2005, 03:57 PM

No, I'm of the firm belief that great minds think alike!

angnak · 03-30-2005, 06:08 PM

That sounds better. Good point

Woodstock · 03-31-2005, 03:00 PM

Christopher or Travis could make you very happy with beautiful prints/photos

Travis · 03-31-2005, 08:14 PM

It won't take much convincing to get me to do a calendar...I would absolutely love to do one. It WILL however take a whole lot of pre-ordering (and Pre-PAYING). I can't imagine a quantity of less than 100 of them, and I don't have the money to front for that kind of printing.

Woodstock · 03-31-2005, 08:29 PM

Last year I made up calendars via Ofto and sent them to family members... I used some aquarium photos and some family photos... they came out AWESOME! I bet Travis' would be to die for

LuckyInk · 03-31-2005, 08:30 PM

Travis,
You know that CafePress can do a calendar, right?
