In a nutshell:
Wall art from any image. The Rasterbator enlarges images to multiple pages. Print and combine them into huge posters.
One of the best online art collections.
The first principle of their Mission Statement:

A vanship is a type of flying machine from the animated series Last Exile. It is often referred to as a "flying boat" in that it does not fly by means of aerodynamics like planes do, but rather by floating on the air and propelling itself through the use of a substance known as Claudia.
