I've got a low-res picture; I'll see how big I can get it. Probably not too big.
If anyone does have a better picture, I'd love to have a copy as well. I hear the original was at one point hanging in a hallway at the Letterman Digital Arts center in SF, no idea if it's still there or not.

No high res pics from straight on unfortunately - this is the closest full image I've come across:

This is the best full on high res pic, but it's only head and shoulders:

All other pics seem to have people standing in front of the painting.

Yeah...I think I need one of these in the office...just so when people come in and say what's that? I can shout "He is Vigo, you are like the buzzing of flies to him"!:lol
Seriously, I hope some one plans on doing a print...please.

I'll give this a shot and see what I can do. My progress so far is looking really nice.
My question now is, how much cleaning up do we want done? There's some crackling of the original oil canvas showing, and some weathering that I'm not sure how much detail I can restore to. What are peoples' preferences?

I love how it looks in tht photo there! Decently clean, but witha bit of 'basement art house grime'
Since it was getting cleaned in the film . . .why not leave it as is???

Don't mind weathering. Just interested to see what you come up with. 
Could someone Photoshop in a kitten . . .he's suffering from Carpaitian Kitten Loss!!!

I believe Hotshot hit the nail on the head. I've decided that I'm going to try to reduce the glare on the sides from the flash, and slightly touch up some of the weathering, but will leave most of it as is, as that's rather the point of the poster in the movie too, having it restored.
[Edit: I won't be doing a run of these, a better alternative has surfaced.]

Then, I will upscale it to probably 300dpi and have it printed on the same high-quality photo poster stock that I did the Watchmen Sally Jupiter poster on. The price will likely be around $50 for a 2' x 3' poster, so watch the Junkyard. I do have the ability to print it larger, but a) it will cost more, and b) I need to test the upscaling quality before I commit to a larger size.[/quote]
I may want bigger...depending on price and quality..."Slides are available in the gift shop!"
Keep up the good work! Let's make this happen:thumbsup
