The finished piece on canvas in an oak floating frame

“I sent Noah an old photo of my brother Kevin and his wife Claire and asked for them on Martha’s Vineyard, where they’ve made their home. He got every detail right, down to the angle of Kevin’s face, and kept going until it was perfect. It captures a moment, the very essence of their lives and their love. They’ll remember receiving it for the rest of their lives. I can’t stop looking at it.”

Jesse, who gave it to Kevin and Claire

What to expect

Your first proof arrives within three business days of getting your photo. Printing and delivery take about one to two weeks after you approve it, and shipping is free.

Three rounds of changes are included. If the proof still isn’t right, tell me and I’ll refund you in full.

If your piece arrives damaged or misprinted, send me a photo within 30 days and I’ll replace it.

How it’s made

Made from your photo, then turned into a line drawing or a watercolor with AI. I adjust each piece until it looks like the person or place you know, and you see the proof before anything is printed.

Questions

What if I don’t like the proof?

Tell me what to change. Three rounds of changes are included, and each round after that is $25. If it still isn’t right before you approve it, I refund you in full.

When do I send my photo?

Add it on the product page before checkout, or send it afterward with the link in your order email.

What photos work best?

Sharp and in daylight, with the subject filling most of the frame. People and pets at eye level with faces visible. Buildings straight on, with the whole roofline in view. Your own photo, or one you have permission to use.

Do you use AI?

Yes. Every Custom Art piece starts with your photo. I use AI to turn it into a line drawing or a watercolor, then I adjust it until it looks like the person or place you know.

How much is shipping?

Nothing. Every Custom Art piece ships free.

Can it ship to someone else?

Yes. Enter their address at checkout and it goes straight to them.

Can I return it?

Before you approve the proof, you can get a full refund. Once you approve it, it’s printed for you, so it’s final. If it arrives damaged or misprinted, send me a photo within 30 days and I’ll replace it.

Will you use my photo anywhere else?

Only with your permission. I may ask to show the finished piece as an example.
