Hi Girls!
I think cardboard Adam was made in a print shop somewhere. Awhile ago we talked about this, and our answer was to make our own at Kinkos. The deal with Kinkos:you have to have a very clear picture of the subject (Mr.Clayton) and I don't remember how big the picture has to be...someone here in PLEBA called and found out all this info for us.
I was going to get a cutout made of him from the waist up, so I could sit him in my passenger seat in my car...
I hope this helps....but definately maybe you should call Kinkos and find out what they say...
 
I think you can get them made at Kinko's. *loves Kinko's* I'm afraid of being committed though.

Idea though: What if we Seattle PLEBA girls all had one made, I wonder if Kinkos would give us a discount???
I bet they would...........
 
That would be funny, all of us trooping into Kinko's with U2 pictures ...

Ok, Magena had a better answer.
At first I wasn't going to consider this, but if I got an Adam like the one the band has there would be a reason for his excistence to give to my family beyond "It's Adammmm, mmmm."

I just woke up and can't tell if that made sense right now.

*cough*

I owneth an Adam.

Cardboard Adam likes: my cat, wearing my sweaters, my hat, going for long car rides.

Cardboard Adam Dislikes: my dog (he knocks poor Adam over), people staring (wait, that's me), wearing pants.

Cardboard Adam's Cost: Lots.
biggrin.gif
Like, I'm embarrassed to say it lots. The way I made it cheaper was to find my own cardboard. After finding the cardboard (from an appliance store) I glued Adam on and cut of his Edges (ooo, I capitolized that without thinking).

pssst! 'twas $7.99/square foot of Adam for printing. It is $8.99/square foot to 'mount' (Kinko guy's words, not mine...) Adam.

hey phuzzie! Take a picture to Kinko's...they claim to specialize in blowing up pictures and mounting them (heh..she said "mount") on that foamcore stuff...at least at my Kinko's they do....ABEL may need to confirm for me!

Hey! My Cardboard Larry rocks the casbah...and just so you guys know, I did get mine at Kinkos! Mine is kinda like a paper doll, (but cardboard) and he has a bunch of different clothes that are a hard paper. It costs between $30-$45 depending on how many clothes you get or how big he is. I love Cardboard Larry...he's so cute.

He's life size! I made him an inch taller than me so he would be perfect hehehe So that would be 5'9" Yay! He's so cute...my latest outfit for him has been a leather vest and tight black jeans.

My family would say, "Well...it had to happen sometime" I don't think we have a kinkos around here

I need a cardboard member of U2 darn it! But I think it would have to be shoved in my closet at night cause I think that would just creep me out....

Foadie, can you give us some more details about cardboard Larry? Is he cardboard, or that plastic type foam board? What kind of picture did you have to supply for him to be made?
$50 isn't that bad for a cardboard Adam.....I think I'm gonna do it.
 
now that would be something nice to hear at the supermarket...
"price check on cardboard Adam please!"
HEE HEE!

Let's see...he's made from a very hard cardboard...

I had to find the biggest full body picture with the least clothes there was...I'm not sure which one I used. I also had to supply a close up of of his head. I used a young Larry so that he had pretty hair.
wink.gif
Maybe I should get real clothes for him next!

Foadie---did Kinkos give you any crap about copywrite blah blah blah???
The girl I worked with today said there are too many copywrite issues making something like that...now I'm scared.
I don't know what to say to the kinkos people.......they're gonna think I'm nuts.....
 
I really want a cardboard Adam, but I'm hesitant because what do I do when the real Adam comes over to my apartment and sees the cardboard Adam? He'll think I'm psychotic!
