Alison of No. 16 Photography has some unique and creative photography. When she contacted us about doing a large restaurant project we were excited to help and see what amazing shots would be included. Here are a few pictures of the finished results and a testimonial from her, we’d like to thank her very much for the kind words!

I couldn’t be more pleased with Canvas Press’s quality and service!

As a professional photographer, I do an extreme amount of research before committing to a product. Past reviews, incredibly helpful and pleasant customer service, and extraordinary offers and pricing convinced me at once that Canvas Press was the right choice for my photos.

My first order with Canvas Press included three custom sized black and white images. When I received them, I was incredibly happy to see that they were just as the way I had previewed them on the easy-to-use website. When I was contracted to do 33 photo canvases for a restaurant, I knew that Canvas Press could handle it and guarantee the quality I desired. ALL 33 canvases were perfect. Canvas Press’s safe shipping of all 33 canvases was and is unsurpassed.

There is no doubt that I will continue to use Canvas Press for all of my photo canvas needs. The quality of canvas and use of inks is superb. Each canvas that I have ordered is clear, sharp and rich in color. The stretching of the canvas itself on my gallery wrapped projects is just as superior.

I thank you for all your wonderful help and support. Your customer service reps are the best I’ve ever dealt with. The friendly staff is always so very helpful with any and all of my questions and/or concerns.

Thank you again for your wonderful business!

Alison, No. 16 Photography

Wedding Table Centerpieces on Canvas

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

This summer I ordered 10, 8×8 canvases of different locations all around the world. Each of the places was one of the destinations that my husband (at the time I ordered everything fiance) and I visited. Instead of numbering the tables at our wedding, we used the canvases set up on easels as table names. With the left-over canvases, James and I made a collage on our kitchen wall, and it is the first thing everyone notices when they walk in. We love it! Thanks for always making great products, and being part of our special day. -Natalie

This was a great idea Natalie! We love to see how our canvases end up being used. Thanks also to Whitney Lee Photography for the amazing shots and sharing the images with us.

Canvases Featured at Film Festival

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Canvas Press made several canvases for the Austin Polish Film Festival to be on display for the duration of the event. Some canvases showcased major donors, while the highlight was a replica of the event’s brightly colored poster, designed by world-famous Polish Poster Artist Leszek Zebrowski.

The opening reception was attended by special guests related to the first movie shown in the festival, U Pana Boga za Miedza (God’s Little Village). They included the writer/ director/ producer Jacek Bromski, actress Agnieszka Kotlarska and composer Ludek Drizhal. The guests signed the commemorative canvas which will be auctioned off later in the year to raise money for the Austin Polish Society. For more information please visit www.austinpolishsociety.org

Turning candid photos into Masterpieces

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009


You don’t have to be a master of photography to capture those most perfect moments in time of your children, human OR fuzzy. I find that some of the best shots of our children are candid, when they are being completely natural. However, many times when those moments arrive, all we have is our cell phone camera. While, your babies may look adorable, the backdrop in which they stand, the lighting or graininess discourages you from turning it into memorabilia for your walls.

 

That has all changed now that we have our OilWorks program. For over 2 years, we’ve transformed hundreds of rough photos into stunning digital paintings that are used as the focal points in many homes. Each OilWorks piece, whether Master or True Artist, is painted by a live person who is a traditional artist as well, using a virtual paintbrush and pallet. As you see in the Photo below, this is exactly what Beejal did with her children. She now has her new 48”x 36” Master OilWorks painting hanging in her home to enjoy every time she walks by.

 

I think it’s time to pull out all those candid photos… don’t you?

LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Through the LifeWorks Home Improvement Challenge (HIC), corporate and community teams partner with a decorator to design the space of a LifeWorks client. LifeWorks clients live in Supportive Housing – a program offering subsidized housing to kids who need a “getting on your feet period.” LifeWorks clients are former foster care children, former homeless youth and teen parents who may have never before received the help they need for a fresh start.

November Design Group of Austin, Texas contacted us about working with them to create a special canvas artwork piece to be featured in the living room of the makeover apartment. The girl living there was not able to bring her cat there with her, so we made a beautiful sepia-toned 30×30 gallery wrap canvas of her cat so she would always be there with her.

For more information on LifeWorks and how you can get involved visit www.lifeworksweb.org

Canvas Press Customer Testimonial: Guest Room!

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009

Hello,

 

I have been a loyal customer to Canvas Press for approximately 1.5

years now, and absolutely love the service and the end result of my

picture (s).

 

We moved from Calgary, Alberta, CANADA…to The Woodlands, Texas, on

June 28th, 2007.  We have been fortunate to have many friends and

family come to visit us.  I had the idea to create a ‘guest wall’, in

the spare bedroom where our company stays.  Anyone who comes to visit,

gets their photo on ‘the wall’!  When people first come and see the

wall, they become excited to soon be a part of the wall - and they are

more cooperative for photo shoots, as they know one of their mugs will

soon be on the wall!

 

Below is the end result - thus far!!!  To be continued…

 

Thanks Canvas Press!

 

Jan Spratt

Testimonial from our canvas customers…

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

We love our client’s photos, almost as much as they love our canvas! And we love when they send us photos of our canvas on their walls. Here’s a testimonial from Barbara about her photos of doorways in Italy that we printed for her on canvas:”Just reporting that I am quite pleased with my canvas pieces.  They represent a recent trip to Italy and are a few of my favorites from a series pictures of Italian entrances. I appreciated the ability to frame these on-line and the prompt service.Thanks,Barb”!photo.jpg

Saving money without sacrificing beautiful art

Floral photograph on canvas

When you have a canvas made from Canvas Press, you receive a high quality Giclee print of your photograph or artwork. This is a great way to decorate your home and in these tough economic times where nothing is certain, it can be a huge cost savings to get art on your walls that looks great. A new customer of ours in Georgia has started doing this now, here is what he had to say:

 

I just received my canvas print this morning which was shipped to my place of work. I did not open it at work but was so excited about it that I took it home during lunch to hang it.  WOW! I was very surprised and impressed at the quality of the print! I was a little concerned because this was my first Canvas Print and the dpi on the on-line template was not the highest but was above the minimum where you will guarantee the quality. I was not sure if I would see any pixelation or not.  The size of the print is 44×26 so it is a fairly large print.  It more than met my expectations!

 

The quality is excellent and looks very professional.  The packaging was superb and very professional as well.  Very easy to hang with the supplied hardware.

 

I wanted something new for above my settee in my foyer and started looking around for some art in galleries such as limited edition Giclee’s but they were all more than I wanted to spend right now with the economy. So, I decided to use one of my own photographs to help bring some color into the space.  I’ve been into photography for about 20 years as a hobby and this particular photograph is from the garden on Victoria Island, British Columbia right off of coast of Vancouver. I liked the color and the way the out-of-focus red geraniums gave it a slight impressionistic feel and made it look like a piece of art.

 

Now I have a piece of my own “art” on my wall in lieu of spending more than a thousand dollars on someone else’s Giclee. 

 

I look forward to working with you again in the future.

 

Thank you,

 

Rob
