Does Polly want a cracker?

[Robert Lambie]

cant promise bt ill ask andrew mate. we did a van full colour for a guy selling parrots parrot 😮

it was ages ago so ill have to look it out.
what we did though and in most cases do this.
if the customer wants such a print. ask for a gloss brochure or magazine and scan it and blow it up. works a treat. the picture has to be good quality of course and glossy.
we did it waith a kitchen company not so long ago, these people have tons of stuff they give away like this o should have it laying around some place 😉

You tried the microsoft clipart site Dewi? there’s a whole flock of parrots there. 😆

[Jill Marie Welsh]

Liked the Ex-parrot bit.
“He has ceased to be!”
“He’s not dead, he’s pining for the fjords!”
“This parrot is no more!”
Dewi, I can send you a photo of Charlie.
In fact, I will ship him over to you.
You can smash him flat and stick him
on your substrate with Gorilla Glue.
Love…jill 😉
(charlie is my 41-yr-old parrot)

Thank you Robert & Steve, much appreciated. Marty, I tried the microsoft thingy, but they’re all very cliparty (what did I expect on a clipart site 😮 ) I’ve tried a general search across the net, but all the images are too small. The minute I resize them to the 2ft square I need, they look like they’ve come out of a 80’s space invaders game 😕

Flatten Charlie? 😮 But wouldn’t he kind of mind a little Jill? 😆

Cheers, Dewi

Dewi, I’ve got this piccy, this is a resized version. The original comes in at 33 x 25 ins (2400 x 1800 at 72 dpi) and looks good when made bigger as well, the file size is 507K. I can e-mail it to you or put it on here (it’ll be BIG!) if it’s suitable for you.

[Andy Gorman]

Ah, It’s not just me then Steve. I’ve been swearing at NTL all evening. (:)

[Bill Dewison]

I’m just glad I was on broadband for that one, dialup at the shop, I would’ve been throwing my PC through the window by now and cursing my telecoms company 👿 (:) 👿 😉

Cheers, Dewi

Is now a good time to mention that Macaws aren’t actually classed as parrots? 😕

[Steve Smith]

Macaw, Parrot whatever….It could have been worse. I could have sent him this one…..

Bizarrely though, they’re selling Macaws as well, so the image was perfect 😀 Nice one Steve, how many pints is that I owe you now then? 😉 Next SignUK will be an expensive deal… hopefully Robert will have a room at that nice hotel again and I can charge all the drinks to there 😉 Damn! Done the whole James Bond villan thing, described my evil plan well in advance of doing it! D’oh! 🙁

Cheers, Dewi
