Whoa.

That's very cool. I have to wonder what the cost of that would be, vs the cost of printing and hanging that...

So he said they pounced it on... someone has to help a noob here. I've pounced and painted smaller wall signs, like 15' across, and 2 stories up it was a pain in the butt to hold the paper in place to pounce it correctly. So how the **** do they pounce out a 150' tall design???

big slide projector shone on the wall would do it.

how on earth would you be able to do the shading and all the detail when you are so close to the wall? you would have no way of seeing the big picture!

I know it said pounced, but it looks more like it was drawn on. There are pounced areas, but we'll just take their word on it.

Typically, one would use a grid of a small picture and then transfer that small grid into the larger grid on the wall. Once you have everything painted in, you can move onto the next grid/box. Kinda like creating a large coloring book effect.

for so many people(not Batman)
