Hello folks. I’ve been given the go ahead by Takaza from Midwest Furfest http://www.furfest.org/ to post this.
What follows over the course of the next few weeks is my attempt to catalog and display the artwork that the attendees of Midwest Furfest made in consuite in November of 2012. This artwork was auctioned off in 2013’s charity auction just a few weeks ago. (Never did find out how much it went for. Need to find out. )
I’ve been struggling to figure out if we should be really displaying this art. There are two sides to this struggle.
First is the ethical standpoint: On one hand the person that purchased the artwork in the charity auction has possession of it, and as such posting the artwork tarnishes the value of what they have. Kinda. They have the original and can do with it as they please. I get that.
However. This was not the creation of one person. This was a collaborative effort and the artwork was “owned” <-note the quotes.) by Midwest Furfest. So technically Furfest can do what they want with it. But that aside. I think it’s unfair to not allow the community to see what they created. I mean this is a collaborative effort on a massive scale. So in my mind, right or wrong, I think it’s a good thingTM to post this and let people see what they made.
Also I’m hoping it will stop the jack wagons who are cutting out the artwork on the table if they know they can get a copy online. Seriously whoever is doing this crap, STOP IT. You are basically stealing artwork designated for the charity action. Very uncool behavior guys.
The second portion of this struggle was the technical standpoint. I have, I think, approximately 60-80’ of artwork here. Last fall I went into Kinkos and asked how much it would cost to actually scan this. I walked out of the store laughing maniacally. You guys don’t want to know. The price per foot was. . . yah. NO. So a different method of “scanning” had to be found. (BTW if you know of anyone who has a large capacity scanner. Please note me. The method I used was clumsy. A scanner would be 1000% better.)
What we ended up doing about a month ago was setting up a table. Setting up a gridwall right next to it. Mounting a tripod on the gridwall and then positioning a Canon EOS 18mp camera with a 35mm fixed lens over it about 2’ away. We also had a timed external light source. The result turned out OK. Not perfect since scanning would have been the best method, but the alternative was nothing really. Which is what happened to 2011’s artwork. Nothing was captured from that.
Again 60+ feet of artwork is not something easy to capture. Well it turns out that the photographing of the artwork was the easy part. Stitching all this artwork together has made me want to kick in my monitor. I’ve tried 8 different software packages. Nothing works correctly. At best I can get a few sections to stitch, but more often than not a few others refuse to stitch together even though I have plenty of overlap from section to section. I may throw some money at a photoshop pro at some point to try and manually stitch this stuff together, but for now, what you see is what you get. :\ Sorry.
Anyways. Without further adieu I present you with Sheet 3 of 18. Note that each sheet will have multiple sections. Also I've dropbox linked the original file since FA only allows 1280 x 1280 max.
