The world's largest digital drawings

Christopher Majors and his unique digital system has accomplished the world's largest digital drawings. His drawings require calculations of more than 8 billion pixels in order to create an ultra-high-quality picture of 512 million pixels. The process can take up to 15 days on a 2.2GHz CPU! (85 times more than your camera) Unfortunately if your computer has less than 1512 megabytes of memory you will never be able to see them in full.

Rather than being tied to the printer's limit of 16 million colors (which provide only 256 shades of monochromic ranges) the drawings undergo a very special treatment called 'fractal color distribution', so that they can render an almost-infinite number of colors. The results are the smoothest, deepest, most perfect ranges ever seen by human eyes. But they must be seen as prints -- no computer monitor is capable of reproducing the images accurately.
