You send them your child’s artwork and they send you back a beautiful, professionally crafted fine art coffee table book to showcase your little one’s creations. The oversized books measure 11″ x 11″ and even include customizable covers a dedication page with photo upload.
The hardback books are not your “run of the mill” digital photo books but quality fine art books. Each piece of artwork is beautifully scanned with high attention to color detail so the finished project is jaw dropping.
In addition to preserving your child’s artwork in the hardcover book, Artimus Art also offers a CD with high resolution files of all your child’s art images. You can turn these files in a JPEG for use in countless projects such as iron-ons, invitations, cards, etc.
