The Photo Canvas Blog

Want a reprint of a gallery wrapped, frame-ready or unstretched canvas print you’ve previously ordered from Artistic Photo Canvas — but don’t want to start a new order from scratch? No problem! You can get stunning APC reprints while bypassing the entire canvas configuration process. It’s fast and easy to do!

Here’s how: Log in to your APC account by clicking the “My Account” link at the top of any page at artisticphotocanvas.com.

Figure 1 – Logging in to your Artistic Photo Canvas account

Click on “My Orders” in the navigation bar running down the left side of your account “Dashboard.” You’ll see all of the previous you’ve orders placed using this account since July 5, 2011. Browse through the list until you find the order(s) that contain(s) the canvas you want reprinted. To double-check you’ve got the right previous order from which you want a reprint, click on the “View Order” link to the right of any order listed. (Not the right order? Simply click on “My Orders” again and navigate to a different one.)

Figure 2 – Viewing your previous orders via the “My Orders” link

If you scroll down, you’ll see the canvas(es) that were part of the selected order. Here you can confirm that the size, style, options and image are the ones you were looking for. If you want to reorder one or more of the canvases on this order, scroll up and click on the “Reorder” link near the top of the page. (To get reprints from more than one order, simply click on the “My Account” link at the top of the page and then “My Orders” again in the left-hand navigation pane and repeat the “Reorder” process.)

Figure 3 – Confirming previous order details and using the “Reorder” link

After clicking on “Reorder,” you will advance to the Shopping Cart, where all canvases from previous orders you’ve selected for “Reprint” will have been added to your cart, exactly as you previously configured them. If your previous order(s) contained more than one canvas and you don’t want to reprint all of them, you can easily delete any canvas you don’t want to reorder by clicking the “X” to the right of it.

Voila! Having confirmed your reprint details, you’re now ready to proceed through the checkout process. Ready to try it? Get started.

Time is flying — and so soon will Jolly Saint Nicholas! We want to make sure that your gifts make it into his sleigh for delivery by Christmas Eve. So, like every year at this time, Santa’s southerly contingent of helpers at APC are busy creating gorgeous, handcrafted, heartfelt presents for wonderful people all over the U.S., Canada — and beyond.

We hope you will experience that magnificent peace that comes over you when you get your gifts lined up before the last minute — but just in case things come down to the wire, here are our ordering deadlines for 2011 in the United States, by region and delivery method:

If you’re in Canada or another international destination, you’ll want to get your orders in by December 14 for timely delivery via FedEx International Economy.

We’ve included enough time to accommodate most situations, but if you’re at or near a deadline, keep the following in mind:

• Neither we nor FedEx can control Mother Nature, so if the weather turns nasty at the FedEx hub in Memphis, all bets are off!

• If you’re at or near a deadline, avoid asking for an order-delaying Digital Proof. Your canvases will be stunning. Promise.

From our family to you and yours — warmest wishes for a most joyous Christmas. If your family is celebrating Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or a different holiday — our thoughts are with you at this festive time of year too!

“Sheepishly Asked Questions” about Orders & Shipping During the Holidays:

What if I miss a deadline?

As always, we’ll do our absolute best to get your gifts where you need them to be as quickly as we can — but orders you place after the deadlines outlined in the graphic above very well may arrive after December 25.  Just remember, there are Twelve Days of Christmas — and, unless your gift recipient is like Ebenezer Scrooge before a visit from the Ghost of Christmas Future, your gift will certainly be appreciated and enjoyed no matter when it arrives!

What do the red asterisks in the graphic mean?

Express shipping in some zones doesn’t make a lot of sense after certain dates — as indicated by the red asterisks. In those situations, you’ll pay more and your package won’t arrive any faster. On the other hand, if you want to require a signature — or just feel more confident in Express delivery vs. Ground — the highlighted options will be available to you during checkout.

This stuff stresses me out. Can I send an eGift Card instead?

We’re glad you asked — because the last thing we want to do is dampen your holiday spirit. Yes! Hall out the holly, dear friend. You can complete your Christmas shopping and be back to your eggnog (hopefully spiked) in no time. Ordering an APC eGift Card takes all of about two minutes and is delivered to the recipient within just a few hours — so you can forget all about stress-inducing deadlines. And people love getting them because a) they can pick out whatever photo or art they’d like; b) they can configure it just the way they like it; and c) they can do it whenever they please — because APC eGift Cards never expire. We believe there is likely a “d)” and an “e)” but you’ll forgive us if we’ve misplaced them. (The eggnog here is that good.) Try giving some APC eGift Cards for canvas prints to your friends and family this year — and see how festive it makes you feel!

I love reading blog posts. The longer the better. Is that it?

Well, it was gonna be until you asked us that question. Truth is, there’s a special place in our hearts for the people who hang on every word in our crafted-with-love little blog, so we actually have a holiday gift for you — just because you’re one of them. Use Promo Code SHIP4FREE when you place your gift order and we’ll pick up the whole tab for U.S. ground shipping for all of your soon-to-be-adored APC canvas prints! Just use it before one of the relevant ground deadlines in the graphic, OK? (We know you would’t gloss over those!) XOXO

If you follow the big names in professional photography – or have personally sought out photography as a fine art form – then you’ve likely heard about David duChemin. An assignment photographer based in Vancouver, David has shot for non-profit and commercial clients on five continents around the world. His portfolio of compelling and moving photographs – and his advice on discovering and refining one’s own vision in the pursuit of great images – are the subjects of the best-selling books, Within The Frame – The Journey of Photographic Vision and VisionMongers – Making a Life and a Living in Photography.

It’s not every day you encounter a photographer of duChemin’s calibre – and it’s certainly not often that a world-famous photographer decides to give away prints of his work. But as you take in David duChemin’s photography and follow his inspired writings, you begin to understand his personal vision and a portrait emerges that brings clarity to the free canvas print offer he recently announced on his blog…

Says duChemin, “Photography is an aesthetic art. For me, it’s a means of getting out what’s inside and saying ‘Did you see that?’ My photographs are an expression of my vision and my passion and I take great care to create the photographs I do. For years, those images have primarily found their home online, in small print publications, and the occasional print. Increasingly I’ve longed to return to my darkroom days – days when my final output was a print, something large that I could touch, look at from every angle, and eventually give away because at it’s heart I think all art is a gift.”
