To those that do your work in a paint program.

I was just sitting here thinking about how when I'm finished with my work the only person who will know of the work if my computer dies will be me and my work will be lost forever.

Do any of you know of a good way to make a good hardcopy of the work you do onto a canvas and the paint-printing-program makes brush stroke "textures" into the canvas to almost make the image look as if it were painted as well?

as far as i know you can go down the printers and get some really nice prints from there in any size you want, (of course the nicer, the more expensive it is) byt printing onto a canvas? i dunno about that, could get qute pricy if it exsists, but then again ive used a cad mashine which drew me out my lineart in a pen! (that was cool)

Creating prints is a good way to preserve your digital work. Another more accurate method is to burn CDs. CDROM burners are pretty cheap now and, for the most part, incorporated into CDROM drives.

I value my work, so I make two CDROMs for each of my major pictures. One I keep on site and the other I keep off-site. That way I'm pretty well covered for any distasters, fires, earthquakes, maniacs, whatever. I also sign each CD to indicate it's originality.
