Graffiti artist Banksy’s street art has been hugely acknowledged the past couple of years. A lot of his artwork can be seen on the streets of London and some is sold expensively to celebrities.

Banksy’s artworks are often satirical pieces of art touching on topics such as ethics, culture and politics. The message in his work is normally anti-war, anti-capitalist or anti-establishment. Controversial his work might be but he’s made street art known to the masses and paved the way for other street artists.

A journalist coined the phrase, “The Banksy Effect” to illustrate how interest in other street artists was growing on the back of Banksy’s success. With brand new design effect our in-house team can create a unique Banksy-style canvas with the picture of your choice. Canvas prints with a twist! Try our artwork services today.

You may come across our Photo Canvas website and ask yourself, why should I choose this company before any other? Let us explain why you should. For starters we use a process called deep-fibre printing. In this process water-based inks are used which mean they can stand up to a standard cycle on a washing machine. The quality canvas printing are there for even suitable for outdoor use. How many canvas printing London companies can make that claim?

Secondly the material of the canvas is non-tear and non-scruff able as it’s real woven fabric. Your photo is penetrated deep into the yarn so it’s there for impossible to scruff the canvas printing. Thirdly we use the original ‘wedge’ method so that a tight stretch of your canvas is maintained over the years by tapping the corner wedges if needs be. That is the correct way to keep the canvas print firm. Most companies have removed the wedge from their production to reduce their costs but that means their canvas print will become floppy over time with no way to tighten it up. No wedges means floppy canvas printing. We keep this important feature on all our canvasses. To us, wedges are important!
