I have been looking for that article since i first saw the boat. That is actually why i think this is one of the greatest graphics jobs ever. Sure it may not be everyones "cup-o-tea" but from a technical stand point it is truly unbelievable. It was done before plotter style graphec and was pretty much free taped and cut. Simply amazing. Who is your friend and what shop was it done at? Just curious as i find it fascinating.
