In the second week of December with the holiday rush was in blizzard mode, I noticed four canvases lying on the large metal table in the print room. The straight avocado-colored lines and stark background seemed oversimplified and therefore forced me to seek an explanation from our production manager. I quickly learned these were barcodes printed on graduating sized canvases with the fifth and final being a red star strikingly like the Macy's logo. This was to be one of our customer's Christmas tree.
This prompted a staff brainstorming session of the most intriguing images Canvas Press has printed. In hopes of inspiring the creative in us all, I will list a few below.
The bulk of our orders are the traditional family portraits, weddings, anniversaries, vacations and pets. It never ceases to amaze us how many of you own lizards and how many of you have visited Machu Picchu. Special thanks to Hiram Bingham III for keeping us entertained.
Wrap some duct tape or gaffers tape around a pencil and stick it in your camera bag. It is another great MacGuyver type item to have with you at all times.
