Aww. I was hoping for Mucha, Dali, or it'd be perfect if you offered any H.R. Giger! :-D But, no. I'm guessing all of these are public domain. Oh well. Maybe next time.

ZUUL42We are looking into Mucha but still trying to find the right image for a Playmat. Giger and Dali are still under copyright and would require significant licensing fees, at a minimum.

krauserkrauserThanks for the response ... even if you're going to call Giger a ginger. :-O :-P I understand the copyright issue if we're trying to keep to a lower cost, if it's even possible at all.
Hmm. Most of Mucha's work was posters, so I'd suggest two things. You could focus more on pieces from his Slav Epic. Amazing pieces, especially to see in person, and they are closer to the aspect ratio of a playmat and more unnoticeably cropable. However, they are probably not nearly as recognizable to as many as "Mucha" as his Art Nouveau posters. Though how you're making the subject step out of the piece, the subjects in the Slav Epic feel like their going to come walk past you in the originals. For more of what people expect, you could put all the pieces from his quadriptych series together in a single playmat. The Time of Day series would be my favorite. Just ideas. Maybe they work, maybe not. Thanks for listening.

ZUUL42Yeah, his Slav Epic pieces are. Dry impressive but definitely not what he is generally known for. I have a few of his quadriptych available as options but none looked quite right when we tried them in our frame design. I am a big fan of his work as well and definitely want to include as much of his work as I can. We're working on it!
