$600,000 Gundam Painting (now in high res!)

You may have heard recently about the Gundam painting that sold for US$600,000. Now I’ve been looking high and low for a high-res version of the image but even the artist’s website didn’t have it. On its auction page, you can only zoom into the image by using its embedded flash image viewer. Checking the cache revealed that the original image was broken up into several tiles for faster downloading.

With nothing else better to do (except, of course, finish my magazine), I downloaded each and every 196 image tiles from my cache and stitched them together in Photoshop. After that, I resized it at 50% so that it’s easier to download and view. If you want the original high res picture, you can click on the download below but be warned: it’s super huge.
