High Res GymCards for download
A lot of people asked me about selling these when I first published them. I think they could look quite cool as a poster or as a card for autographs etc. I hope to make more with gymnasts from this quad!

A number of people had asked when I would have prints back up in my shop after I took then down when there were seemingly some issues with featuring gymnasts names etc.
I decided I wouldn’t upload them again to my shop in case there were any lingering legal issues. I also just made these for fun and enjoyment, not to make any profit. However since so many people liked them (and I am so grateful for your kind words of support) I decided to upload higher res versions you are welcome to download and print to use as you like.
I only ask that you don’t be a dick and try to sell them (kind of defeats the whole purpose) and that if you do anything cool with them (hang them in your room, get autographs, gift them to someone) that you post a photo and tag me!
I will continue to post downloadable versions (previous version were low res and I would imagine wont print particularly nicely) of as many as I can. I do hope to keep making them as well so feel free to request any but I might not get to them as fast as I once did.

Supporting teammates: When Ali Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, and McKayla Maroney sat in the stands to cheer on Gabby Douglas in the Women’s Uneven Bars Final, they had their hair uncharacteristically slicked back with gel and pins folded into buns in Gabby’s characteristic but criticized style.

PHOTOS: 10 bronze statues of inspirational women in NYC by Statues for Equality"
Statues for Equality is a global mission to balance gender representation in public statues and honor women’s contribution to society. Gender inequality is among the most critical issues facing the world today, and having a public display of inspirational women for the world to see is a tangible step humanity can make toward a more equal society. Sadly the representation of female statues in most western countries is less than 4 percent.
On Woman’s Equality Day in New York City, Statues for Equality was launched and history was made with some of the world’s most influential woman. Ten inspirational and larger-than-life bronze female statues were unveiled on the iconic Avenue of the Americas to increase female representation in public art statues, from 3 percent to 9 percent overnight. Among these women are Oprah Winfrey, Jane Goodall, Cate Blanchett, P!nk and Nicole Kidman.
It was a long and complicated process to make sure each of the statues was a depiction of the woman precisely how she wanted to be seen. The artists began with a portrait study. To better understand the individual faces, artists Gillie and Marc began by first sketching, then painting the faces of each woman.
This process, starting in 2D, is important for developing the expressions and to allow the individual personalities to shine through when crafting the clay mold and transforming them into bronze masterpieces. Painted on fabric from around the world, they represent the diversity of womankind. Each painting has its own texture, shape and feel. From there, the artists collaborated with the women further. Each woman decided her own pose, outfit and flower on which to stand for her statue in bronze.
Gillie and Marc now want to expand their project around the world, with the goal of reaching complete gender equality of public sculptures — 50 percent —across the globe by 2025. (Statues for Equality)
