Earlier this month I received an email from Melissa Pont from BuildASign.com offering me an opportunity to review one of their canvas prints from their new division called Easy Canvas Prints. Normally I don't do product reviews, but I received a very nice street sign from them earlier in the year, so I thought I would check out their website. They offer a wide range of prints from fine arts to nature scenes, and a variety of different sizes, like 10x8, 8x8, 20x16, 24x36, or customize your own size. If you're not interested in any of their prints you can create your own by using a family photo, a picture of your pet, wedding photos, vacation photos, etc..
I'm an author of children short stories, and I've always admired the illustration by Melissa Stagi-Zepeda from my first published story, Full Moon. After getting permission from the illustrator, I clicked on the Start Designing button. I selected the 10x8 size, then the 3/4 inch wrap thickness (there is also a 1.5 inch wrap), I clicked continue, and then uploaded the picture. I selected what border I wanted, and then went through the shipping stuff. Overall, it took me less than five minutes to place the order. The site states that the production time is between 3-4 days, but my order was only two. The order was placed on Friday and I received a shipping confirmation email on Monday. It arrived yesterday afternoon by UPS in a neatly safe package. I smiled when I saw my characters staring back at me. The print was much better than the small .jpg copy I had saved. I hung the canvas near my desk.

I genuinely cherish the thoughts and insights of my readers, and I wholeheartedly welcome your engagement. However, to foster a truly constructive dialogue, I’ll be keeping a careful eye on the comments section. This means I’ll be moderating to weed out any spammy detritus, overly harsh critiques, or contributions that don’t add anything meaningful to the conversation. Think of it as my little corner of the internet—a space where everyone can share their perspectives without the noise. Let’s make this a place where ideas can flourish and grow, rather than wither away in the shadows of irrelevance.
