    Larger poster-size version is available here. (90 mb)

    So, while listening to todays podcast (which was amazing) I decided to make a little something as a little tribute to Ryan. I looked at all the message boards and tweets and stuff and found different words that people used to describe Ryan or what he meant to them and made a little something with all of it. I apologize for any spelling mistakes or whatever, I tried to get this done as soon as possible. I know Ryan would probably find this to be corny as hell, but I just had to make something for the dude.

    Wow, really nice work. I really like the photo/word collage and the RYAN DAVIS portion, although I might like a version without the "thanks for everything" as well. Either way, really nice poster and a great tribute (good word choice too!)

    @mocbucket62: Thanks man!

    @sirdesmond: Thanks! Yeah, perhaps it would look better without the "thanks for everything". I'll make one without it if people want.

    @mushir: Love it, but I agree that the "thanks for everything" doesn't really add anything. What about "so long and thanks for all the fish" instead?

    Is it any cheaper to send to Australia? It probably isn't but if it is, I would forward it to them for you and pay the rest of the shipping there.

    Could I suggest one change too? You should add "Husband".

    That's great, would work very well as a commemorative tshirt too.

    If you wanted a cheaper way to do this you could use a US based service where you just upload a high-res file and they do the rest.

    That's really cool! Do you have a bigger resolution laying around for us to grab in case we want to make a personal print or two?

    Also the addition of 'husband' would be nice.

    Also I live in Norway and can confirm the crazy prices!

    @pipedreams: @geirr: While you're at it, might as well add "son" and "brother" to it too.

    I haven't checked, but I would assume Australia is even worse. I can't believe I didn't add Husband. I'll definitely do that.

    I don't have a larger one right now, but the text is vector so I can scale it all up. My only concern is that the photo of Ryan is not of high enough resolution to really scale it up to poster-size, even though you barely see it. I'll make a higher resolution one though post it here. :)

    Thanks a lot for those links man. That's a much better idea than shipping it from Europe, heh. I'll see if I can get a higher resolution one done and make it into a poster to send to the guys.

    Also a quick question. Should I change the text to something different? Maybe something more uplifting than "Rest in peace", or is it fine as is?

    Thanks a lot everyone! I really truly appreciate all the kind words.

    To @bucketdeth@geirr@chavtheworld and others who wanted a larger resolution one, I made a slightly altered one that is 24"x 36" which I think is the standard size for posters. You can scale it down to your liking if you wish to have a bit smaller version. The image is like 90mb though, just so you know. Just open the image in a new tab to see full-size version.
