Pop Art - Warhol Style
Harking back to the series of images, for example of Marylin Monroe, created by Andy Warhol: perhaps the most famous proponent of the pop-art movement. Our studio will painstakingly cut out and recolour elements of the image, reassembling it in similar colours to that used by Warhol. The results speak for themselves.
This is not done by a photoshop filter! There is no button to press to get these results, only painstaking attention to detail by our graphic artists.
If you have a preference for which colours you would like to favour, please add this in the notes section when it comes to uploading your image.

Making personalised art from your photo is a subjective and creative process ... each one is tailor-made with no automation.
Subject Matter
Obviously, portraits work best and the clearest format to send is that of a passport-photo. Don't worry about things in the background: they will be cut-out or, when it comes to illustration, simply ignored. Animals can of course be illustrated. Best results can be had from our furry friends when they are pulling a clearly recognisable expression. Architecture and transport themes can also be used: these though must have a clear subject in the foreground.
Complicated Themes
These can be done, but require a lot more time and therefore incur extra cost.
Your portrait photo
What works best is a passport-style picture with a clear expression. We can only go by the photo you give us, and a face with lots of shadow on it will of course be drawn with lots of shadow. Similarly a grumpy looking face will be drawn grumpy - its up to you to choose the most representative photo!
Your approval
We will artwork and design your pop-art to the absolute best of our ability. Our inhouse graphic artist has over 15 years experience in illustration and image manipulation. At your request we can submit to you a proof prior to printing - contact us after you have made the order and we will put an image online for you to see. Or, leave it as a surprise ... we're sure you'll be thrilled with the results!
If there is a problem with the picture (ie of it being unsuitable in subject matter) we will of course refer back to you.
Price: £39 plus the cost of the item you would like the artwork placed on.
Warhol Pop Art of two heads is more expensive than one
Please note: the prices have been worked out for a single person to be illustrated - extra people and complicated themes may incur an extra charge, which we will of course chat over with you prior to starting the artwork.
Approval of your Pop Art artwork
All our popart is done subject to your approval. When you make the order, we appraise the photograph you have sent and then pass it to our graphics studio. When the artwork is complete we email you a copy to make sure you are satisfied with our work. As soon as we have secured approval, we make your item from our artwork.
Custom Pop Art completion times
As this is a painstaking task, this can take a little longer than would be expected from our normal photo services. We endeavor though to get the artwork approved by you, and then the canvas made up within a week.
