I recently had an xray done of my hand in the position of flippin' the bird. It's pretty awesome. How can I make it art?

Framing it, I suppose, but what about lighting? Other ideas?

Assuming it’s a transparency, how does it look if you shine a light through it against a wall?

You could make a skeletal flip-off spotlight…

And you could make t-shirts…

You could use it as an image for your custom Capital One credit card. The middle finger is even one-like.

You could order custom postage stamps using the image, with which to pay bills that you resent.

Ya, like a night light, or to cast a shadow on a wall to make the wall subtly decorative…

the xray was done because of a hand injury, btw, not because i snuck into a lab or anything @zaku, like a nightlight?

Frame it between two sheets of glass or perspex, and hang it in a window, then the light will come through.

Or how about incorporate it into a lampshade somehow?

@downtide good ideas…!

If it’s actual x-ray film, it will fade if you mount the original. That’s why they’re stored in light-proof envelopes. It would be better to tape it to a lightbox or to a window with the light behind it and then take a digital picture. You can manipulate that file into anything you want.

You can buy all sorts of specialty papers to print it onto: Iron on transfer for t-shirts, plastic film for window clings… etc.

@Blueroses right it will fade. I suggest to scan it instead of a photo. You’ll get a more accurate and detailed picture.

@blueroses and @dabbler. great info here. I’ll try to take a pick later and post it.

I would make a stencil of it and spray paint it on telephone poles all over town!
