Zorchin' some Flemoids

I want to get this poster printed for my friend's birthday, and was hoping for some advice:


For size, the image is about 1900x2800, and I've heard the standard for printing is like 300ppi, which would mean this comes out to about 6.3x9.3" which is a bit smaller than I'd like. Since it's a pretty simple image, do you think sizing it up to something closer to 11x14" would be okay?

Also, I was thinking about making the paper a little more aged looking. I've heard printing on regular paper, softening the edges, and soaking in tea does a pretty good job of that. Is there a recommended stock for something like that? I'm guessing the brightness of the paper doesn't really matter much. What about inkjet vs laser?
