Hey, I've lurked here a while and decided to register and see if anyone wants to help me out with a project I'm working on.  My son is a huge DT fan.  I'm a big fan and got him into the band, then he went off like a rocket.  When Portnoy dropped out, we both were kind of in denial, I guess expecting that it was a fight that would get worked out and then life would go on.  Eventually, the reality sunk in. 

So I want to make a poster for my son that will be a montage of the Portnoy years.  I don't want to sell it and don't want to infringe on any copyrights, etc.  But I want to get the best images available and want to represent the entire Portnoy era if possible.  I do plan to bring my son's biases to the front and feature his favorite albums and tours.  So I've been surfing here and elsewhere, collecting photos, built a lyrics library, etc., etc.  I'm thinking about a look that is somewhat reminiscent of Scenes from a Memory crossthreaded with Black Clouds and I want to have a nice balance between the images and the words, if that makes any sense. 

So I'm posting here to ask for help in selecting the best images that I can use without having the guys in blue jackets show up and cart me off to the Internet Prison.  This poster will be 3' x 4' in size and I'm working up three distinct zones so far.  Wish me luck, I don't know if I'm artistic enough to pull it off.  Thanks in advance...
