How much space are you looking for? How long would it be in use?

We're going to need a surface that we can project on large enough to handle something 18 feet long and 7 feet tall.

Once we can trace the line art on, we can paint in a smaller space, like a garage, because we can fold up the parts we are not painting on.

Just a suggestion: Contact supporters groups from MLS teams instead of reinventing the wheel and doing tons of research, phone calls etc... I'm sure those guys and gals would be more than willing to give suggestions and contacts to get material for what you are looking for.

Tom Dunmore with Section 8, Timbers Army or Prairie Rose Clayton with the Revolution's supporters.

Talking with friends in the TA and ECS.

Got a lead on fabrics, just waiting to learn about paints.

Prairie Rose confirms laytex house paint is as good as anything.

Recommends using cotton canvas, or poly (doesn't say much of a difference)

I've put out the feelers. If it's just line art that shouldn't be a problem. Painting & leaving to dry there might be more of an issue. We couldn't get paint on the carpet & the rooms I'm thinking of do get used on a near daily basis.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Brian Kallman as The incredible Hulk?



this is a good idea, but we dont like it when he gets mad.
But that's why it works!

Bill Bixby as Brian Kallman



So do we do this a la Hlavaty (just the Hulk with Kallman's name under it) or more like the Captain Altman banner which actually used Kyle's face?

The former would be much easier.
