The new 2012 year begins for all of us and I want to offer my Happy New Year wishes and say “Thank You” to all customers of www.AboveSigns.net and www.CanvasandPrints.com

Every year, I have the wonderful fortune to be able to work for some of the nicest people through my interaction with you. Some of you I have known for many years, and some of you I have just recently had the pleasure to meet or interact with but nonetheless all of you bring joy and gratitude to my business.

I also want to extend a very heart-felt “Thank you” to so many of you that have gone above and beyond the usual client/service provider interactions and have reached out to me to let me know that I did great job. I so often received honest “wow, that’s an amazing canvas print!” which simply made my day.

Thank you for all the business…
Hope you too have a great year ahead!

Darek D. – owner

Thank you for the privilege, opportunity, and consideration.

Perfect Christmas Gift as a Print on Canvas

Perfect Christmas Gift as a Pop Art

This customer brought in a picture that he wanted to convert to painting-like effect e.g. watercolour, impasto or oil paint. We did couple of proofs and finally settled on cartoon effect which turned out great. Here’s the proof:

Duane L. Elliot Lake, ON.

I prepared couple of different ideas to do canvas print for a wife’s gift. It was tough to choose from (the kids looked awesome either way) but Duane settled for a colourful pop art of his two great kids.

Hi Darek
Just received my giclee.  Absolutely love it.  I will recommend you to everybody.
Anna M. Calgary, Alberta.

We printed a picture of beautiful West Highland Terrier that’s getting older, so the owner wanted a fun, colorful way to preserve an image of him.

We are now able to offer our clients two of the most famous paintings of Vincent van Gogh as high resolution Wall Murals:

The Starry Night 1889 and
The Bedroom in Arles.

You can choose any size for your Wall Mural without the compromising the quality of the final print. You will be amazed at the quality of our wall murals. For Wall Mural material we are using adhesive-back fabric that sticks to any non-porous flat surface and removes easily with no residue for sharp-looking, seamless graphics and superior photographic images every time. The adhesive is removable, reusable, and repositionable. It does not remove paint from a primed wall, is safe to apply over wallpaper, applies without wrinkles, and does not rip.
