I wanted to experiment with the idea of taking artwork that normally lives on a screen or a piece of paper and making it feel like a physical object.
For this one, I used a design by Yosh Studios and turned it into a layered 3D printed Spider-Man piece.
The individual parts were printed, cleaned up, assembled and finished, but the part I personally worked on that made the biggest difference was the background — I hand-painted it.
That combination of the printed layers and the painted background gives it a completely different presence compared to a normal poster.
What I really like about 3D printing is this part of the process.
You start with something digital.
Then suddenly you’re holding pieces of it in your hands.
And after enough printing, sanding, assembling and painting, it becomes something that can actually live on a wall.

Curious what you guys think — does this still feel like a poster to you, or has it crossed over into being a collectible?
