I'm thinking of getting these printed for my room but if I do, I would like high quality versions of possible.   |

The originals were sold at auction late last year, and the auction site has very detailed pics of both up.
You'd lose the text, but they'd print at actual size (12 x 24 each), which is as good as you'll get until the new owner gets an A2 scanner and a bleeding heart...

I don't think I'll go that big but I think I will use them. |

Here are the files if anybody wants them including a square image of both of them if anybody would like it.    I've upscaled the images using an online site so now they could be printed up to a very large size beyond 12x24 inches if you wanted to but they're simply better quality at a smaller size. |

 Am I missing something? The individual files are 800x1600, which even at a borderline 200dpi would print smaller than the CD cover. The Big square 5000x5000 has not survived the upscaling very well at all, in my view. Try this:  |

This is what I've done now using the last image I've cropped it to the 1:2 ratio so it can easily go 30x60cm.  |

As I said when I mentioned the auction on QOL, I'm surprised that these weren't submitted to QPL back in 1977, as I presume they were commissioned.

Update: I've got it printed on a 12x24 frame and it looks fantastic!  It cost just under £20 too which I think is good value. |

It’s the outside of whatever structure the people on the inside are in...
I could never decide if the robot had brijen the building to drop Queen in or whether he had broken it and scooped them out...

The robot obliously broke the roof of that structure and grabbed some people from the inside (red picture). First with his left hand, then he grabbed Queen with his right, and murdered Freddie with his middle finger  (green pic). the print looks great man! bet it would also look great as a print on canvas. |

Thanks for the great images. If you'd like to read the original story and see the original painting 'Please Fix It Daddy', scroll down to October 1953 for the PDF. www.luminist.org/archives/SF/AST.htm |
