Individual Portraits Printed On Maps






digital photograph printed on maps each 6" x 9.5"

The two portraits of City Commissoner Sam Adams started with the original photo I took of him for "Work Shirt". The original photo was enlarged and printed on two different maps of Portland.

Individual portraits are available in the techniques used on this page
Each of the portraits is printed on a map cut into a 8.5 x 11 sheet.

    1. Have your photo taken or send a photo to be scanned..
    2. Watch it being made into a drawing on the computer.
    3. Choose the paper or map for printing.
    4. Matt the portrait to fit an 11 by 14 frame (frame not included)
    5. Take it home for only $50 plus postage.

This is my portrait done in this process.
