How It Works

STEP 1:   PLACE ORDER

Click an order button below. Our on-line form guides you through the process:

• Describe what you want our artists to draw (more...)

  We ask for a Background Setting (ie. office, beach w/ palms, Giants stadium etc.) and then the Scene using action-oriented verbs to concisely describe what each person is doing (ie sitting w/ legs on desk, slapping her husband, pole-vaulting over a truck...).

Timing

There are 3 phases to consider:

1. Proof Time - Normally it takes about a week to get your proof but it can vary depending on order volume, holidays etc. We offer Rush options that can speed up the Proof and Prep time. Any revisions will add time. (more...)

   You will get an email on or before your Proof Due Date alerting you that your proof is ready to review. You can always log into your account to check. You then can approve or request a change. It's a good idea to have some pad in case revisions are needed.
