NO Best and easiest way is digital The resolution from most digital cameras works perfectly for my PET ART CLASSICS. If your camera is 2 mega pixel or higher you won't have a problem getting great looking art. Just attach them to your e-mail to me. E- Mail me one (1) or up to four (4) photos of each pet that you would like to see in your Pet Art Classic. In your own way mark the photo of each pet that is most important to you, I will try to use that one. I can also work with your traditional snapshots Many of my PET ART CLASSICS are created from snapshots and they turn out great. You can scan your snapshots and upload them with your order or I can scan them for you. In that case please mail them to me. “Will you get them back? “ Absolutely. Please don't send me irreplaceable photographs just in case they should get lost in transit, I would hate for that to happen. Mail me one (1) or up to four (4) photos of each pet that you would like to see in your Pet Art Classic. Mark the photo of each pet that is most important to you with an (X) on the back, I will try to use that one. Photos should not exceed 5”x 7” in size, and no picture frames please. Your photos will be shipped back to you unharmed with your Pet Art Classic order. Please Note It doesn't happen very often however if I think your photos will not look good in any classic painting I’ll call or sent you an e-mail. If you're going to take new pictures of your pet remember this 1 – Get as close to your pet as possible 2 – Don’t cut the lags or any part out of the photo 3 – Take and send me as many different poses as possible  What classic painting will look best with your pet? If you have a certain painting in mind send me the artist's name and the name of the painting. I will do my best to include your pet in it. If, however, I don't think it looks believable, sorry, I will option not do it. I take a lot of pride in my work. Everything I do must look as if the original artist could have painted it. OR, and best of all Give me the option to chose a classic painting that will produce a truly fine PET ART CLASSIC, one that compliments your pet.   You will be e-mailed a proof before I finish your order.
