A cultural treasure, captured by and artist for his own profit. I can print large prints. I can't afford $100 for ripped off IP. Release the info to the wild. Information needs to be free.

Spent a pretty penny having it framed (made the print cost look like lunch money). It is a prized possession. If you wondering "Will it look good in the den?", yes, oh yes it will!

One word of advice. I tea-stained mine to make the edges aged. I contacted the author for advice and he confirmed my 'test patch'..the ink, canvas will take the stain..but Dab it on..don't drag the sponge. The sponge will pick up some ink if dragged..but the canvas will absorb the stain for an aged look. I got one last year. Very nice work…very nice.

I'm glad to have a pic of that. What were his comments, if any? Thanks to everyone who has made a purchase over the years. I'm continually amazed how many fans of this film are out there. I made this map primarily for myself. I posted to a couple movie prop forums thinking I'd sell maybe 5 or so. Little did I know how many like-minded fans have been wanting to possess this map. Thanks again. And everyone be sure to visit makersmarket.com for the most unique collection of goods you'll find anywhere. I'm honored to be part of it.

Better get back to Aldob before I get to him first. Then I am coming for all of you who own a copy... Muhuhahaha... *cough cough* ahahuha... The only thing that could stop my mad plan is if someone uses the graphic at the top to spot the time holes themselves or snapped a Polaroid of one. But no one will think of that. That would be ridiculous!!1! Might as well try using a <a href="http://epicwinftw.com/2010/02/26/epic-win-photos-i-so-want-one/">Flux Capacitor</a> or something... I WILL HAVE MY VENGEANCE!
