They secured licenses for Nintendo AND Star Wars?  I'm impressed!

Saint,

If you want anything from my site printed on Canvas, let me know....  I have been wanting to play around with Canvas and I purchased a roll 6 months ago. This gives me a great excuse to break it out and print something.  I can do up to 23x30" or anything smaller.  You would need to have it wrapped or framed by a shop though, I honestly don't know how to do that, but I should probably learn.

I did not see any statement of securing licenses... I wonder since it is "Pop Art" done by individual artist they are getting around that.

Not canvas, but arcade art nonetheless.  There are some Warhol inspired arcade art on ebay being sold by a seller called West Coasters Customs (seller  nsd-bigwig).  They are not nice canvas, just posters.  However, they are pretty cool and only cost $15.  Here is a link, but I don't know if it will work.

And in case you are wondering, I have nothing to do with them.  Just ran across them one day when I was looking at stuff to decorate my game room (which does not exist yet).

In the Netherlands you can have any picture printed on canvas and framed. A 40cm x 40cm "painting" would be 35 euro. Don't you have something like that in the states?

I printed some stuff myself on canvas and (epson canvas) and that does look pretty cool too, but I can only print big enough for a 20cm x 20cm frame with 3.5cm thickness.

I never heard back from Saint, I am sure he is busy. 

So... I will offer this up to the first two people who email me at the email below, no charge, BUT here is the deal, you must have created something in illustrator and have donated it to the Arcade Artwork Library (localarcade.com) 

Just send me the link of what you did.  I will print it at 12x16" with a 2" bleed for your local framing shop to gallery wrap.  All I ask is you give me your honest opinion of it, and be a little patient because it may not get done until a weekend.
