    Posted by Shane Drew on 14 August 2006 at 08:57

    The sign guy that printed and supplied this has gone broke, and the client does not have the original.

    I’ve been asked to redo it as the window has cracked, but I have no idea where to look to find clipart like this.

    Anyone give me some pointers please….

    Hi Shane

    I just googled ‘Egyptian art’ and got loads of similar pics up, don’t know how you would find the exact one though.

    thats really good guys, but I wonder if anything is available to buy or use. These pics are 1100mm wide and 1800 high.

    I’ve looked at jpg’s till I’m seeing mummies, was hoping some one would say they had a cd or knew how I could buy it 😕

    Even looked on getty and comstock 🙄

    Has it got to be the same Shane or just something like it?

    He wants something close or similar, but I told him he may have to take what ever I can find 🙄 😛 Definately a goddess type thingy, in the food theme tho…. 😕

    You couldn’t just get a high res photo of the original (6 to 12MP) & photoshop it a bit could you? Will never be as sharp as the original, but could be as near-as-dammit.

    would be easier to take a 6mp digital camera… put it on a tripod and snap a photo of it… improve it in photoshop / etc and then re-print it to match, I have used stitching methods in the past to create large images.

    hhmm didn’t really want to go down that path, but I can do that I suppose. Got my d70 so that would not be a problem.

    He is not keen on paying too much, insurance should cover it, but he has been told that insurance does not cover signage anymore, so he has to foot the bill himself. Not sure he’ll be happy to pay for my time.

    I might ask him if he has this pic on his menus…. Then I can drum scan it.

    Thanks for everyones help though. I appreciate the help.

    I’ll certainly give him the option, but I suspect he’ll want something relating to food

    Thanks again for your effort 😉

    Found these, got 100’s to go through.

    You could shove a burger in one of their hands 🙂
