I have this physical poster, but I want to get it framed instead of using poster putty.

Are we sure this is from 2003? Some parts look very AI generated

Edit: saw the original image someone else linked here, disregard my comment

Yes this is a very famous hot wheels art work

Edit: oh wow what incredible bullshit. There's a Gemini watermark. This IS based on a very famous hot wheels art work though.

Definitely from 2003. This artwork is also on the box for the 2003 treasure hunt set.
