Hello,
I came across your wallpaper via BoingBoing. I’d like to use “Map to a Factory long gone” on my blog and promote all the wallpapers. They’re striking and in some cases evocative.
Please let me know if I have your permission.
Thank you.

I’m the photographer of the original image. I think the wallpaper combining unfoled-paper-like texture looks nice.
By the way, the person on the photo is not a stranger, but my mom. I asked her to stand there to give a sense how large the factory really is.
Enjoy it!
Sonya
P.S. I found your derivative work by flickr’s stats tool.

[...] I’m going to TRY to make a variety of sizes for the wallpapers. As a designer, I’m not satisfied by just cropping a 16:9 image into a 4:3 one, (though, if you choose ‘center’ in your desktops display properties, some 16:9 papers will look OK on a 4:3 monitor), so it’ll take me a while to catch up. In the meantime, you 16:9 people can gloat that you have Robot Calling and Mary’s First Invention, and the 4:3s flip you off with Steamyfox and Map to a Factory Long Gone. [...]

Hi, I’m in the progress of designing a poker table for an open source project, pokerth (pokerth.net) and wonder if I can use this design as one of the backgrounds? Full credit of course is always given in the included .xml documents.. It’s a bit tough to put it on the table itself.
Thanks.. Great picture.. It strikes of dejevue (sp)
