Offering larger sized reproductions is actually a priority of mine right now. I tend to work in smaller formats with traditional media, so sizing things up while keeping costs down and maintaining a decent quality product is a little difficult. Even if I scan something at a large enough DPI to allow me to blow it up without loss of image resolution, making things bigger sometimes results in fuzzy, mushy images and a loss of clarity. Velvet giclee prints mimic originals better, so are more forgiving, but they cost a lot to print, and don't sell well due to the higher pricing.
I've been experimenting a bit, and it seems like I can offer most of my artwork in slightly larger formats than the originals without needing to go with expensive giclee options, if I'm careful about my files and reviewing test prints. 8"x10" usually size up ok to 11"x14", so I have both size options available for this piece, and will do so for future pieces when possible: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TealNewco.....on_id=18203057
It'll probably be a while until I can offer anything larger, if you're hoping for bigger poster sizes. I have a hard time painting larger than 8"x10" or 9"x12" without getting hung up on details and spending 40+ hours on a piece I was hoping to finish in 10, I'm trying to train my brain to not do so much of that, but it's pretty counter to my nature.
Sorry for the late response + wall of text!

No, actually, this is every base I hoped you might cover. Thank you!
I agree, scaling up a 4x6 work to 18x24 is probably going to look rough no matter how hard you scan it, but an 8x10 work enlarged to 16x20 would probably surprise you once it's under glass and you've taken two steps back. I've been watching your art for a while on here and Etsy and I have some walls that need your prints on them fairly soon. So I s'pose I'll settle for the small ones for now!
Your work is just great, seriously. You're doin' our state proud.
