Jane the T-Rex Arrives at my Door

The Illinois posters mentioned in the early days of this blog are finally arriving. Maggie's came last week. Mine came today. It took four months, but here they are.

I had a very clear image of what I thought the posters would look like. I pictured a 12x18-ish sheet of wrapping paper-stock, or newsprint, with a Lexmark printer picture of a 400-pound butter cow. They're free, after all, and what can you get for free nowadays, anyway?

Apparently, a lot. At least in Illinois.

The posters are regular poster size, a good 24x36, and the paper is thick thick, the likes of which you'd find bearing a print of Matisse or Monet. The ink job is rich, the colors bold enough to make T-Rex Jane an instant centerpiece in any living room.

Illinois's tourism bureau has their act together. Four months was certainly worth the wait.
