Wallhogs
I really like Wallhogs. If you aren’t familiar with them yet, Wallhogs are big art and big ideas. Imagine your favorite photo or graphic, blown up to a huge size and printed on reusuable vinyl, or as a glossy poster or a canvas print. Sizes range from a small two-footer (if you can call that small!) to an extra-large four by seven feet. The prints will press onto a smooth painted wall to customize the decor in any room. I’m thinking of my friend Lisa who is decorating a nursery. Wallhogs will create whatever custom art you want, so she can select from stock or submit her own photo or graphic to form a focal point for baby’s room. Backgrounds can even be removed to create a shaped print. I could see painting a path through the woods, then adding a giant Winnie the Pooh to the scene for a really eye-catching nursery wall.
What jeep fan wouldn’t love having something like this on their wall? That picture comes from stock, but imagine taking a photo of the car your honey customized and presenting it on the next special occasion. When my son was young I know he’d have loved a wall decorated with fire engines or that fabulous truck from Smokey and the Bandit. These days he’s more mature and would rather have Speed Racer (don’t tell him I’ve told you that!) The possibilities are endless, so let your imagination and your passions guide you. Watch the Wallhogs video and browse through their catalog of available art, then let your own inspiration take over. Wallhogs has something for everyone, big art for any wall. You can even customize a product or service you’re featuring and use a Wallhog to advertise your business.
What’s really exciting, though, is that Wallhogs has now taken it to the next level. They’re partnering with photographers and artists to bring them an outlet for their work and a new way to present it to their clients. They can add their works to the Wallhog catalog for online sales or order at discounted prices for resale to their customers. I’m not a professional photographer, but I’m surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. I occasionally get lucky and produce a photo that I think people might be interested in buying.
What I’m really interested in, though, is some experimental work I’ve been doing with some of my botanical photos. This seems like the perfect time and place to give you a sneak peek at what I’ve been up to. What do you think? Am I the only one weird enough to love this stuff, or do you think others might actually be interested enough to buy it? Wallhogs sponsored this post and I think there’s at least a small chance I could do a very different type of business with them once I’ve honed my skills a bit. Opinions, please?
