I'm in the Knoxville area. My wife and I lost our golden retriever Max in July. She has a picture of him that is her favorite, but it is small. I want to have it enlarged and framed. The framing is easy, but where do you go to get the picture enlarged?

Kinkos/FedEx Office.

Is this a Christmas present?

If you're interested I do digital portraits. You send me the pic. I do the portrait then email you the file. You print it whatever size you want.

I know it's a time crunch right now but if you are interested I'll set up a 15% off promo code (VOLNATION). I could have it done by Sunday if not a little sooner.

If not no sweat. Just thought I would offer.

neat offer, but if he already has the picture, what are you doing once he emails it to you...

Good Luck, OP

He has a photograph. I turn it into a digital painting. Kinda like my avi.

I don't just run a photoshop filter over it.

That's actually a great idea. I can send you the pic. What's your e-mail address? Also, how would I get it printed to a certain size? Like one that will fit in a large frame?

Check the link I gave you. It has all the instructions and how to order. I set up the discount code VOLNATION already just in case.

How big of a print where you thinking? 8x10 is pretty standard. 11X14 is a good size. I've always been pretty happy with prints from FedEx Office (I always call them Kinkos). Just throw it on a thumb drive and take it down to your nearest one. Or you can also call and tell them you what you are ordering then email them the file and pick it up later (that's how I do it). They can usually get it done in 24 hours. If you want I could even call it in and you pick up.

If you had more time I would suggest an online company I use but I don't think it would be there in time for Christmas.

Ok so I think this is the route I want to go. A couple of questions: can you do a black and white picture? And could you write something at the top? Something along the lines of him always watching over us (obviously I would think up exactly what I want you to say).

Just looked at your site. You are very talented. One suggestion I would make though, it to place the original photo next to the drawing or painting to see how accurate it is. Very good work though

Ok so here's what I want to do. I'm going to buy the frame today. I want it to be bigger than 8x10 or 11x14. Like I want it to be a centerpiece to pictures on a wall. After I buy the frame I am going to swing by kinkos and see what sizes they will do and how much they will charge. Once I have all that info I will go through the website and post the pic there.
