Working Magic

January 7th, 2010

Here’s another example of our team working magic.

We received the two images below from a customer.  Here was the customers exact request.

I have a request to combine two pictures into one portrait. The primary picture is of my two friends sitting in a military sidecar unit. The second picture is of their daughter who was not even born at the time the original picture was taken. Since my friends are sitting on the motorcycle seat, as if they were driving it, I think they would enjoy it if I incorporated their daughter into the portrait as if she were their passenger.

To facilitate requests like this, we have a photoshop person on staff to create mock-ups.  The mock-up below was created and approved by the customer.  Unfortunately, the photo of the girl wasn’t the highest quality, but our team was able to work with it.

Side Car Mockup

The mock-up was presented to our artist, and our artist produced the beautiful 30″ x 36″ oil painting below.

We Can Combine Multiple Photos

September 23rd, 2009

Customers contact us all the time with a problem.  They want to have a painting done of several people, but they don’t everyone in a single picture.

Well, we can solve that problem as long as you have a picture of each person.  Below, is an example of a painting we completed several months ago.  The customer wanted a painting done of the entire family along with the grandparents.  They had several pictures, but not a single picture with everyone in it.

So, they sent us the four pictures below.

We took the four pictures and handed them off to our resident photoshop expert.  Our photoshop guru created the mockup below, and it was approved by the customer.

Our artist used the photoshop mockup as a guide and created the painting below.  The customer was thrilled with the result.

So, if you have multiple pictures that you want combined into one painting, contact us and we can create a photoshop mockup for you.

I’m a big fan of Chuck – an NBC drama.  I’m not going to bore you with the premise of the show.

While watching the show on Monday, I spotted a framed portrait on the wall that looks like a portrait painting.  I’ve posted an image of the framed portrait below.  You be the judge.
