HOW DO I CREATE AN ORDER?
Find a piece of beautiful artwork you would like to purchase or upload your own. Our software will guide you step by step through the ordering process of selecting the size, gallery wrap depth and (if desired) framing options. Before adding to your cart you will be presented with a summary of your selections to review along with the price, if you're happy with those select "Add to Cart". You can then choose to continue shopping for more artwork using the same process or start the checkout process as below:
Once you have all the prints you wish to purchase in your cart, click the shopping cart icon at the top right of your screen.
Review your cart items to ensure all the images, sizes, frame depths, framing is as you desire.
Click "Continue to Checkout". If you're not already logged in, you will be presented with a page where you can either "Fast Checkout" as a guest, login to your account or create a new account.
Complete (or check) all the necessary information including billing/shipping address, payment information, enter any discount coupon codes you may have and click "Place Your Order" to complete your purchase.
NOTE: If you checkout as a guest you are not able to view your order status online, regardless of whether you have an existing account or not, nor will you be able to view that order information in your account should you choose to create an account after that purchase.
NOTE: The artwork store and our custom image upload tool are, due to the different nature of their ordering processes, actually two different systems and require a separate check out process (and account if applicable) for each type of purchase. That means that predetermined art cannot be purchased alongside custom uploaded art in the same order, nor can they be combined in a single account. We apologize for the inconvenience.
DO I NEED TO CREATE AN ACCOUNT TO ORDER FROM YOU?
An account is not necessary to purchase from us, simply choose "Fast Checkout" during the ordering process. However we do highly recommend setting up an account to take advantage of the below benefits, especially the ability to save a favorites list of the artwork you like as you surf through our site, there's a lot of artwork to go through so this is a huge help during your selection process and enables you to easily come back later and continue where you left off should you need to.
Account Benefits
- Saving your favorite artworks for later review - all in one place
- Viewing your order history
- Adding personal information including billing/shipping addresses, expediting the checkout process
HOW DO I CREATE AN ACCOUNT?

Sorry we are unable to do this, only one shipping address is allowed per order.
WHAT FILE FORMATS DO YOU ACCEPT?
While we prefer JPEG or TIFF images we work with most files including EPS, GIF, PDF, PDF, PSD, PNG or AI. If you are wanting to print artwork that includes text layers the text must be converted to outlines in order for us to open it properly.
WHAT IMAGE RESOLUTION SHOULD MY FILE BE?
We recommend uploading the biggest, highest resolution image you have. As a general rule the image will reproduce best if its original size is at least half the size of the canvas you are purchasing (i.e. 10X20 canvas = 5X10 image) Images with a resolution of 150dpi or higher will produce better results.
The resolution of most digital cameras will work perfectly on canvas, however to maximize quality you should take your photos at the highest setting possible. Files that are larger than 2MB will generally produce fantastic results while files greater than 500KB will still work great for smaller canvases. Our upload software analyzes your file for the required quality for the size of canvas you are ordering and a graphic designer reviews every file before printing so even if you are unsure, go ahead and upload the best file you have and we will contact you if there are any issues with reproduction quality.
WHERE CAN I SEE THE AVAILABLE SIZES FOR CUSTOM IMAGES?
Once you upload your image file our software analyzes it and you will be taken to a page that lists the available size options based on your file, you will also be able to crop and change the orientation of your image.
WILL I RECEIVE A PROOF BEFORE PRINTING?
Typically no, if you require a proof please request one during the ordering process. If you do require a proof you can expect to recieve one within 2 business days.
