I liked this poster and a comrade of mine really wanted a larger format version of the image, as the original scan sucked. This was my first big project in Illustrator*. Let me know if you see any mistakes in it or if you want the original .ai file.

*(Yeah, FOSS is cool, but my partner does art work professionally, everyone expects shit in Adobe formats, and all the best tutorials are for Adobe shit)

EDIT: If I try uploading anything to Hexbear, it gives the following error:

{“msg”:“Couln’t upload file, Error in MagickWand, cache resources exhausted `/tmp/pict-rs/aM67Z3305t.tmp’ @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/3883”,“files”:null}

Here's an SVG version but the text got weird:

      The original artist (this was supposed to be anticommunist)

      He was in Dublin with the 5th Royal Dublin Fusiliers during the 1916 Easter Rising

      Shithead.

      It’ll also standardize it to png, I think. I don’t know why, but this picture saved hella weird.

      I uploaded an earlier version, but didn't post it, and then it wouldn't let me upload the new image. I'll try again.

      EDIT: it gives this error:

      {"msg":"Couln't upload file, Error in MagickWand, cache resources exhausted `/tmp/pict-rs/aM67Z3305t.tmp' @ error/cache.c/OpenPixelCache/3883","files":null}

      It might be too big?

    Adobe’s lack of Linux support is the bane of so many open source nerds in design or video editing. But luckily most relevant open source software opens Adobe files natively with little to no problem :)

    That said, a lack of Linux support is understandable. As soon as official support dropped, they’d be inundated with bug reports from people with unreproducible configs and obscure desktop environments. Their best bet would be to hire a small team to maintain a dedicated Linux distro that their product teams could test builds against
