    I met my boufriend in a bar when we both freaked oput when "Do the Evolution" started playing on the juke box. A few months later we were quite drunk, listened to Pearl Jam "Vitalogy" and nine months later, we had the most beautiful baby girl you could imagine. Thick black hair and bleu eyes. If that aint art I don't know.
    Point being: if "Do the Evolution" didn't play that night, I wouldn't have met the guy, and we wouldn't have had this beautifull eight month old baby!

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.

    wow. I thought it would have to be bigger than that. It looks so cool. If I had the money I would love to buy it, but I would imagine the price would be out of my range. Plus I would need my boyfriends permission (considering it is really his money) but he is a huge pj fan as well

    seriously, put it to print. Sell coppies
    The only thing I enjoy is having no feelings....being numb rocks!

    And I won't make the same mistakes
    (Because I know)
    Because I know how much time that wastes
    (And function)
    Function is the key

    That's a really good idea, it seems like there are a lot of people interested. I think I could afford a copy. The original would be so cool to have though.

    That's an awesome story.
    I met my husband because of PJ as well and we have been together ever since.
    We have been married for almost 3 years now and we had a beautiful son on June 11th 2004 :)

    It's an interesting topic. Instead of continuing it here I have created a "Married because of Pearl Jam" thread in the All Encompassing Trip section. If you would like to contribute, that would be cool.

    Wow. I'm no artist at all. I even suck at drawing stick people. That my friend, was hard to believe it was a painting at first. Especially the one in the bottom lef. But that's REALLY REALLY good. I need one of those to hand up on my wall! Damn it, now I want to buy one of those really really really really really REALLY badly.

    thank you for all the complements, it makes the process so much more worthwhile.....a few people have mentioned getting it made into prints...how would i go about doing such a thing?...it sounds like an interesting way to make some money to help pay off school, while keeping the origional...

    Ultimately, i would like nothing more than for Ed to see the painting, however that seems far less than attainable...

    Thanks again...

    If you're going to make prints, then I need one. And if you wanted to send one to Ed, you could send it to them through fan mail I'm sure!

    why not check up printing companies that do banners/posters on the internet or in the phone book and ask around a little. I don't know that a paper poster would do it justice though, maybe a material one, those silk kinda ones? Probably expensive though.

    Man..if the picture were bigger, I'd just save it and print it out, and hang it up on my wall...I think that smooth, laminated, sort of paper would be nice for this sorta stuff.

    I would love to have a copy as well. It's very, very good.

    That's a brilliant brilliant painting! Especially the bottom left .. spot on.

    I don't know where you live but here in the Uk printing can be expensive if you want prints that look as good as the original, prices and quality vary drastically ... Alot of printers don't do quality prints that large, and it'd be a shame to get such an excellent painting done badly.

    It's definitely worth looking into though ... You can get phone numbers off the internet like Pacifier suggests, or look in the phonebook ring round a few local printers .. even if they don't do what you want, they should know a printer in your area who does and who can give you advice on how to go about it.

    Good luck :)
