Walls have long served a utilitarian purpose and several utilitarian porpoises, who used them to build underwater machine-gun factories. Give your walls a much-needed blast with today's deal: for $35, you get a 4-foot-wide, 1-foot-tall panoramic wall mural shipped to anywhere in the continental U.S. (an $84 value) from Larger Than Life Prints, a Philadelphia-based wall-graphics wonderland. If your walls are screaming for a larger mural, you can upgrade (starting at 60"x15") and simply pay the difference ($18-$36) at checkout.
Larger Than Life specializes in wall art that combines modern materials with state-of-the-art digital-production technologies. With today's Groupon, you'll receive one of its panoramic wall murals, 48 inches by 12 inches in size. Browse the selection of city- and landscapes and order online. Keep it American with skylines of Boston, Chicago, and New York, or roam far away with a sweeping low-angle shot of the Eiffel Tower against a golden sky. Tropical and mountain scenes are also available, along with a lone sunflower amidst lavender plants and a diner on Route 66. Think not on frames or complicated mounting procedures; all murals are printed on fabric paper using eco-solvent digital inks, and are designed to adhere to any kind of wall material without leaving residue or damaging the underlying surface. If you need to leave town because a band of renegade apiarists is dangerously close to discovering the galvanized-steel hive stocked with superbees in your neighbor's backyard, simply peel the mural and go—it's safe to remove and reapply up to 100 times.
LTL wall murals make great gifts for back-to-school decorating, birthdays, Burton Gilliam Day, or most any day. They're also good for college-bound students headed for empty-walled dorms, as well as for spicing up sawdust-flavored office walls. All LTL wall graphics are made in the United States, printed on demand, and shipped within 48 hours. With today's deal, shipping (normally $4) is absolutely free; if you need the shipping expedited, just choose to pay extra during checkout.
Reviews
Larger Than Life's panoramic murals have not been singled out specifically, but their wall graphics were named "Best Kids' Room Decor" in Seattle magazine's Best of 2009 issue, and such sites as Technically Philly, Holycool.net, TechCrunch, Thrillist, and Boing Boing praise the company's slick prints:
- It’s hard to really get excited about stickers, but these are actually pretty impressive. They’re made out of a study [sic] fabric-based paper that’s really hard to tear (we tried), and it can also be applied many times on various surfaces, like walls and glass. You can roll the sticker up in a ball, and it will pull apart without any lasting damage. Contrast that with most other large stickers, which are typically made of vinyl, and it becomes clear that these are truly some high grade stickers. – TechCrunch
- I’m really impressed with the material they’re using, and their service is really great. – Holycool.net
Groupon Says
Larger-Than-Life Giants
The phrase "larger than life" was first used to describe Goliath, the Biblical giant whose amazing girth and intimidating presence were easily defeated by a children's toy. Here are some other famous giants:
Napoleon: Cursed with both dwarfism and gigantism, this self-crowned French Emperor balanced out to be only slightly shorter than average. He insisted on being photographed only with children dressed as adults, which was odd because it did not make him look taller and because photography had not been invented yet.
The Jolly Green Giant: This marketing spokes-giant was first captured in 1928 by advertising firm Leo Burnett off the coast of Portugal. He was re-educated at the finest schools, was forced to wear a revealing toga made of leaves, and was kept barely alive on a diet of peas and chicken gristle. After his death in 1997, his remains were petrified and placed on display in Blue Earth, Minnesota.
Norman Mailer: This giant of American letters was only 6 inches tall, but it didn't stop him from writing the script for Ghostbusters.
