72" x 48" @ 300ppi; ~2.75GB; digital painting; approximately 2000 sayings, platitudes, witticisms, etc. Not all may be showing. I was less concerned with getting every word into the image and more concerned with how it all came together and flowed. Though I've done this size and larger, this image turned out to be one of the most difficult. It seems that Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign all have limits to how big of a path you can type on. Or, maybe it's a limit to how much text you can put on a path. Whatever the case may be, this piece took me longer than any other to date. After hours of processing and fiddling and saving... and resaving, and re-resaving, and countless Photoshop & Illustrator crashes, I finally can call this one quits. I rather like it.
