The Rasterbator is a cool tool that takes an image and creates a large rasterized poster. I just finished my first one which was Calvin and Hobbes.

Rasterized Poster

What images would you do or show off your own rasterbation.


EDIT: B&W images seem to look better as a final product. The pages to print are output as a .PDF document. So you'll have to have Acrobat Reader installed.

Sounds a bit like mas...

Anyhow, I'd love to make one of Craig Mullins' recent works into a giant poster. His artwork is absolutely amazing.

I'd like a Jolly Roger emblem, even though I already have a huge pirate flag.

You might need a lot of ink for the printer, though.

No not at all. It rasterizes it. Meaning it turns the image into big dots. Here is one of my sheets
