I used this site a couple times today to create some promo material for a trade show. There are other sites and software, I'm sure, but this is darn quick and easy. Follow it up with a good color printer and some heavy stock paper, plus some time to trim and tape everything together (x2 if you're anal like me) and voila. Cheap and good artwork.
Great for cheap dorm art too… especially if you have access to the print labs 😉 Even if you don't, Kinko's or some other print store still won't cost you too much to cover your entire wall (or ceiling if you're industrious) in coolness.
[EDIT] Also take a look at http://fasterposter.com/ — Blockposters limits your uploaded image to 1mb and Fasterposter says it will take a 7.5meg image. I have not tried it as of this writing.

public domain, anything goes man…
City as a canvas, and I'm coming up blank! Curse you writer's block!!!
+Emilio Boronali Help me think of how to deface a city… need an expert 😉
…not defacing, think of it as a much needed face lift… ^___^
+Pablo Esquivel LOL, yes, yes, totally the wrong word on my part. I love seeing the creativity of street art. Face lift all the way. 😉
There used to be a free software package you could download to do this The Rasterbator, don't know if its still available.
+mike quinn I could not find the online version anymore… or the author's site. There is a downloadable version in another language but it looks several years old. I did, however, find http://fasterposter.com/ which does the same as Rasterbator and Blockposters EXCEPT a positive over Blockposters is that it will accept a 7.5meg uploaded image whereas Blockposters limits you to 1mb.
+Scott Cramer in my family (my mother's side) I 've got a chechen bulldozer company. That should be fine!
+Emilio Boronali How about something a little less crush and maim and a little more artsy? 😉
+Scott Cramer I swear if my chechen cousins sniff some fresh blood around, they can be god-sake artsy! !
There is not time to try to round pegs in square hole. It's time for the Big Ammo!
+Emilio Boronali LMAO, posting from the pub again? 😉
+Scott Cramer No dear buddy, posting from my coach.. .I've just got back home from a real dirty working day…
+Emilio Boronali Working is a dirty word. Still at the office… umm… not working. 😉

+Scott Cramer Why calling me a one-track mind when there is no girl around?
Wha?! Innocence, I proclaim! I think your mind is full of tracks.
