Make Your Halo 3 Screenshots Into Fine Art

I'm going to keep my $20.00, convert it into pennies, the fill a kiddie pool with it and roll around in it.

Is that from South Park?

No, Simpsons did it.

Well "Simpsons did it" is definitely from South Park.

Ehh I really don't feel like shelling out that much. I have better things to use my money on.

Oh fun. Now they use an 'artwork' angle as an excuse to make money.

It's not artwork. It's a high-res screen cap made more expensive depending on what material you want the image printed on.

If they're making enough money to stay in business, I'd say there are plenty of fans who consider their kills or explosions cool enough to be art. If it isn't really "art" (although who decides this is unknown to me) but they're still turning a buck from it, so much the better for the creators of the site: they've come up with a unique and (probably) easy way to get cash from Halo devotees. Smells like victory.

It's victory for the business, sure.
But it's a slap in the face to artists that try to make a living at doing paintings and paid prints/commissions on that kind of material. It isn't cheap when you add in the cost of materials for doing a painting by hand, but it's much cheaper if you're printing the image directly onto the material with inks.

Bottom line, the company wins. But it's a slight insult to artists.
