Saddened by lack of wall art

There seems to be a real scarcity of good FreeBSD wall art.
I did find this:

Unfortunately the cool horned globe thing is solid red, not the groovy translucent glowing one we have on the forum.
It's not that I'm anti-Linux which has countless wall arts available... it's just that an obese penguin with cellulite isn't very nice to look at.
I'm very superficial I know.
 
Thanks Alain those are super cool! I'm not sure they have a high enough resolution to be turned into prints though...
 
I managed to find the original of the first one Alain posted, it's almost twice as detailed at 1280x720.
So I ordered a glossy print of it!
I'm going to try and post it here, hopefully the forum doesn't downgrade it into a .jpeg or something?

ProphetOfDoom, they're not FreeBSD-specific, but remember the three Gary Overacre posters: Unix Magic, Unix Feuds and Unix Views. They're all available through eBay.

I'm a lucky lizard; I own Unix Magic and Unix Feuds prints hand-signed by the artist himself.
 
So the print just arrived and this is it on my living room wall. It actually looks super. I took the photo with a cheap Samsung phone, however, so that might not come across very well.

I'm not averse to doing a production run of these if there is demand and the practicalities can be ironed out. (The artist has placed it under the BSD License, so that shouldn't be a problem. (Although (s)he hasn't specified which version of the license). I was thinking Etsy ideally but I'm not sure if it would fall foul of their rules about using other people's work. And there's always ebay.)
Let me know what you think.
 
When booting freebsd you can choose, textual splash screen, graphic splash screen , no splash screen. I have no idea how to do.
 
Alain: on my Thinkpad, I get the ascii splash sometimes, and the bitmap one other times, it seems almost random. I would guess that it falls back to the ascii one if it can't load the graphical one in time, but that's just a guess.
