Back in 2019, I used Wikidata to improve a popular piece of art. I had lots of fun writing the code, fiddling with the output, and blogging about the process.

Four years later I realised I could pay a poster shop to print it out!

So I uploaded it to my RedBubble shop and paid about a tenner for them to print me off a HUGE version.

Giant poster on the floor.

The print quality was excellent:

Close up of the map showing the fidelity of the printing. Non-English characters on the map.

And I was going to use Bluetak to stick it to my wall when my brain did another remembering! You can go to eBay and ask someone to make you a precisely shaped frame!

The poster framed in a tasteful black wooden frame.

If you've got a little doodle, or a massive canvas, or a great photo, or something which shows off your creative prowess - it's high time to release it from its digital prison and print it out as large as you dare.
