Pet, child, adult, or sport customized photo paintings and commissioned artwork are created right from your own photos. The higher quality/resolution of the original photo, the higher the quality of any artwork. We work with you extensively before any work is done to clarify exactly what you are hoping for. When we feel the work is completed, which is normally within 2 business days, we will present you with a proof to review. Any requested changes will be made, and you will be presented with a new proof. Once approved, the portrait or artwork will be sent out for the printing process, which will take approximately 5-14 days for production. No returns or exchanges are accepted once a proof has been approved.
No cancellations once work has begun on your order.
PLEASE NOTE: Colors are noticeably more vivid on stretch canvas than on posterboard.
