Wallhogs, in the Home Office
Wall-what? Hog? Like taking up space? That’s right, another beautiful concept from [Mark Seremet](http://markeseremet.blogspot.com/index.html), [Wallhogs](http://www.wallhogs.com/) takes media and makes it _big_. How big? As Mark will tell you, “[..] from 24” to 7 feet tall X up to 52”“.

Back in the early days of digital media transfer I used to get my art printed onto canvas via a rebel with an iris. The problem was as a starving artist how do you get people to spend hundreds of dollars and you net nothing? I couldn’t figure it out either so I went corporate. Now though the game is different the costs are lower and the effect is huge. [Wallhogs](http://www.wallhogs.com/) can print on poster, vinyl, or canvas for some very reasonable rates.

If you have a photo you’ve been wanting to do something special to maybe this is your opportunity. The flip side is if you don’t have something you want, Wallhogs has bought into a number of photo catalogs and that might give you some ideas on how to fill up some space.

    Thanks for a great post! How many jumps have you made? I’m on my 4th and I love it. Do you own your own gear?

    I’m on my 11th so not too far in, but winter winds have kept me grounded more weekends than naught. I’m currently in search of gear (230ish). I’m saving to buy an entire new rig since fitting a 220, 6’3 guy is more abnormal than normal hehe.

    Thanks for stopping in! -a

    I worked with a few guys at my old company who had 500+ jumps. One told me that he focused on living a lean life and whatever objects he didnt use in the previous 30 days he sold and “jumped the money.” I can see how it can be addicting.
