We use sublimation printing to make our posters. This method is used for advertising products that are constantly exposed to aggressive sunlight and precipitation in the form of rain and snow. Therefore, our poster is not afraid of water and sunlight. Our posters are printed on thick fabric, they are very beautiful and can be used without frames. If desired, you can sew them with brocade (white fields are provided for this) or use a photo frame. It is possible to use a photo frame without glass.
General Introduction: Mahakala is a category of Tantric Buddhist deity. His common function is as a protector (Dharmapala) and specifically the primary Wisdom Protector of Himalayan and Tibetan Buddhism. He is however also a meditational deity (ishtadevata) in the highest Anuttarayoga Tantras. For the study of Mahakala there are three important topics: Principal Texts, Principal Systems and Principal Iconographic Forms
In one specific case, that of Shadbhuja Mahakala, Avalokiteshvara takes on the form of Mahakala. Therefore, it can be said that the Shadbhuja form, with one face and six hands is a wrathful Avalokiteshvara performing the function of a protector. Shadbhuja Mahakala arises specifically from the Eight Chapter Mahakala Tantra.
Artwork is scanned via what looks like a professional camera and then printed with a sophisticated inkjet printer. This makes the most crisp accurate print available in fine art printing technology. Artists and framers often mistake my prints for actual paintings.
