I’m not sure what a canvas photo is. Can you tell me something about the texture  Thanks, Eva.

Answer from Joe:

Thanks for the great qustion, Eva.  At Canvas on Demand, we take favorite photos which our customers upload online to us, and we use them to create beautiful works of art on canvas.  The customer can choose to have it finished with or without a frame, select the size they want, and decide if they prefer the image to be exactly like the photo or to have the look of a brush-stroked painting.  We also can touch up older photos.  The texture is of high-quality canvas and is made to last many years.  We hear from customers every week who tell us their canvas will surely be a family heirloom.

Dear Canvas On Demand —

Once again you came through for us! Thank you so much for your generous contribution to our 2011 Silent Auction. The Silent Auction raised $1126 for our school. This is money that will go towards helping the students and teachers at South Hamilton Elementary in many ways. We hope that this Silent Auction will also benefit your business. We let the entire student body know who donated items, and we encouraged them to make these places ones that they will shop at regularly. We would love for you to partner with our school again sometime in the future. We could not have done with without you, so thank you again for helping us in this new endeavor.

Sincerely,

Tracy, on behalf of The Members of the South Hamilton PTA

Answer from Tom and Joe:  Hi Lynn, and thanks for the great question!   You may use any image you would like, if you have the rights to reproduce it. The Copyright Act protects photographers by giving the “author” of a photograph the exclusive right to reproduce it. This includes the right to control the making of copies. That is why you will be asked to agree to the following statement on both our online and prepaid mailer forms: I certify that I own the copyright for this photo(s) or, I am authorized by the owner to make and use a photo-to-canvas reproduction.

Answer from Tom:  Carilyn, thanks for the great question about that special effect.  We would love to take a look at your photo and talk to you about your idea, because it certainly is possible.  Our goal is to produce what you want.  We have a great team that works with those sorts of special effects.  You can click on live chat on our website or call our toll free customer service line, and we will answer all your questions.

I have just finished reading about “Operation:  Hi Mom in Woman’s Day magazine and  just had to write to let you know that I think that it was such a wonderful idea!  I have enjoyed visiting your website and have decided that you must be very special people to not have forgotten these great American Heroes. Our son is currently in Afghanistan, proudly serving his country.  He has been deployed there for almost a year now, and we so miss his smiling face!  I can just imagine the joy that you were able to bring to those Mothers that received their soldier’s picture canvas.  I am sure that your kindness was greatly appreciated by all. 

Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity.  It is so nice of you to support the love that these soldiers and Mothers have for each other.

Sincerely, Kimberly (a proud Army mom)

Well, our family believes her…and we sometimes worry about her! 

For example: Her hot air balloon crashed–really crashed!  She has  hitchhiked through Mexico’s rugged Copper Canyon–5X the size of our Grand Canyon–not once but a dozen times.  She’s slept under railroad bridges and in abandoned buildings while documenting and photographing the lives of hobos and other homeless people.  She just returned from a ziplining trip in the jungles of Central America.  And this coming October, she’ll be heading to Texas to skydive with a young friend. 

Here’s a picture we turned to canvas of mom’s most recent band of free-spirited adventurers in the Copper Canyon last November.  (That’s my mom in the grey vest.)   Keep her–and her anxious family–in your prayers!   Joe

Note from Stephy:  I suggested your site on Groupon. I love your site. You have great customer service. I have gotten a canvas for myself, one for a friend, and eventually would like to offer them through my photography business! Great company!
