it:

I have no experience in doing that, although I think some programs will automatically do it for you. I'm sure if you could do it yourself, all that you'd need if to get a printing shop to put the final picture onto the canvas.

Illustrator CS2 and above have a live trace option that will do a pretty decent job at that.

I tried it myself but didn't get the final image I wanted....

I aint much for photo editing at this level.... Picasa/iPhoto is as far as I go..

The Gimp can do that also, not sure if it'll give you the exact same effect though.

Do you want the actual vector art or just the posterised effect that vector art gives?
Retaining the vector data would be better for large printing and file size.
Best option would be to do the selective colour bit in photoshop and burn dodge out any noisy details then trace it in Illustrator.

Need the vector data as its gonna be quite a large print....

So can anyone doodle the pic for me in photoshop/illustrator??

I assume its not the picture up on the first post, so if you want to send it onto me ill sort you out.
