ABOUT

"My passion for this business began with providing high quality digital reproduction of artists' work. I often heard artists say that they had prints done but weren't really happy with them. So now I endeavour to create prints that are worthy of the artist's time and talent, providing them with another revenue stream that doesn't devalue their work. I find it very satisfying when artists are thrilled by the quality of the prints we run as a result of the digital labour of love we've done to recreate their artwork."
-- Alan Bagshaw, Owner

"I was extremely pleased with the canvas you created from my photo. The colours were vibrant and the detail surpassed my expectations. I also appreciated the time that you took with me, prior to printing, to help me get just the effects that I wanted from the photo. I will certainly recommend your company to my friends and I know where to go when I need another canvas printing. Thanks again!"
