Growth Charts
All the above features except

• One size 30cm wide x100cm long
• A biography including a self portrait of the artist comes with each growth chart.

Keepsake Photographic Prints
The same features, prices and sizes, except:
Each keepsake photograph is a one-off canvas print. A photograph or scan of the customer’s/child’s personal keepsake article and wording is printed. A certificate of authenticity is not required, as it is not an part of an edition.
We asked parents what their top three most treasured child’s keepsakes might be. The unanimous vote was:

1 Their child’s first shoes, They brought back memories of those first precious steps.
2 Child’s favorite teddy, monkey, doll, or rabbit etc….(there were lots of stories here)
3 A magical drawing or painting they ‘just couldn’t part with’.

They all had stories and memories to share about those first little steps, the one eyed teddy who was lost and found, the doll who acquired a funny name, or the wonderful picture of the purple robot with the upside-down wellies.

With this in mind, we created the idea of made-to-order ‘Photographic Keepsake’ childhood memories on canvas of:
(a) A favorite painting or drawing signed by the child ( if he/she is old enough)
(b) Their first ‘real’ shoes with a personalised note about those first steps etc.
(c) A story and photo of teddy/bunny etc. with relevant wording.

Each memento will be printed with a ‘suitably nostalgic’ font including names, personal anecdotes, dates of first steps etc…whatever is important to the individual client.

Imagine being able to capture all these treasures on canvas with your child’s unique keepsake?

What Makes ‘My Very Own Picture’ so unique and different from other wall art for children?

• The quality of the art and photography……..it speaks for itself.
• The technology we employ and method of reproduction
• All our limited edition prints are printed and numbered to order with a unique signed Certificate of Authenticity. Each Certificate of Authenticity has a numbered hologram affixed to it, with our company logo. A corresponding numbered hologram is affixed to the back of each limited edition print.
• Each print has a short biography of the artist and small self portrait. This comes in an envelope with your Certificate of Authenticity. We’d like you to be able to read about who painted your picture!
• Each design is a limited edition of 250.
• We use acid free, archival quality canvas, weight 385gm/sq meter, matte finish.
• Our wood stretcher bars are 50mm wide (2”) and 38mm deep (1.5”) They are gallery wrap museum quality wood bars. Most stretched wall art is only 18mm deep.
• Each print is produced one at a time, signed, hand inspected, and hand stretched.
• We document each one picture and keep records of each serial numbered certificate.
• We do not produce new editions with minor changes.
• Our editions are complete.

What exactly is Archival?
The papers, inks etc. do not contain harmful additives or chemicals that can cause the prints to yellow, fade, and crack or bleed their colours. But, like any piece of artwork, print or original they do need to be kept away from direct sunlight and moisture.

What do you mean by a ‘Limited Edition Print’?
Our limited edition prints are signed and numbered, so that print, in that format, can only be produced in the quantities stated in the edition, both as written on the print, and subsequently documented. This is NOT ‘per size’, but is regardless of the size of each print. Our limited edition numbers are never re-issued or re-used.
