Family Portraits from Pascoe Pop Art

2008-05-07T23:36:00.000-07:00

As many of our customers are finding out (and telling us) Pascoe Pop Art from your photos makes a great option for Family Portraits.

The special techniques we use mean you don't all need to be posing at the same time for your family portrait, all you need is a collection of photos which you feel capture the members of your family in the best light. We can then compose a great family portrait option for you, either on a single canvas or in a collection of canvas prints.

Please contact us if you'd like any information at all about what we do, or how we can make pop art from photos.

Your Child's Art on Canvas

2008-02-18T19:17:00.001-08:00

Is your child a budding Pop Artist? Have their own artwork printed on canvas!

Our art on canvas technique means your child's own artwork can be transformed into big bright canvas masterpieces. Our graphic artists take the original image, use a variety of enhancment techniques to bring out the bright tones and enhance the colour depth before printing the image on large, top quality canvases. Our canvases are tested to last for decades!

Check out our new Kids Art on Canvas page.

Send us in a scan or photo of your child's artwork. We'll use any instructions you include to help us develop your work, or if you like you can leave it all up to our artists.

Pascoe Pop Art makes MX

2007-08-16T18:19:00.000-07:00

The very popular commuter paper MX recently ran a nice little article featuring Pascoe Pop Art. (We're infinitely grateful they didn't publish some of the more ridiculous poses the photographer convinced us to try out!)

Stradbroke Island Manta Rays

2007-07-25T18:55:00.000-07:00

Wistfully thinking of all the things I can't wait to do when the warmer weather returns (us Queenslanders can't handle more than a week of winter!). Thought I'd share these snaps taken of me last summer off Straddie hanging out with some local Mantas...

If you have the pleasure of visiting Straddie (1 hour from Brisbane, Queensland), go and see James at Manta Lodge & Scuba for a trip to see these beautiful creatures... ha ha even try mentioning my name for a discount!

How to get rid of hiccups

2007-07-12T22:33:00.000-07:00

1. Block off every orifice of the head...mouth, nose, eye ducts and ears.
2. Swallow
3. Say goodbye to hiccups.

Works every time!

Gotta love shopping online!

2007-07-09T20:26:00.000-07:00

Now my friends (and definitely my mum) will back me up here when I say I am NOT a shopper! Something about walking miles and miles through store after store of beautiful things with beautiful people selling them to you... well it just makes me anxious, grumpy and generally not fun to be around. Even on the rare occasions that I'm cashed up and ready to spend, it's best to leave me to my own devices.

So I've worked out that online shopping is just perfect for me. I've just made my third purchase at an Australian online store called Fully Stoked and I can't recommend them enough. They sell clothing, accessories and toys that are of high quality (T-shirts I have washed hundreds of times are still the same colour and unstretched), affordable and guaranteed sweat-shop free. And to top it all off, the good people running the show send a whopping 30% of their annual profits to global charities! (makes the 10% that we donate to MSF look pretty slack!).

Of course shopping of the online kind can present a few hazards of its own... I particularly seem to have trouble making the connection between the purchases I make and my rapidly declining bank balance... like how I just bought this gorgeous doll made from 100% organic cotton for my God-daughter even though her birthday is not for another 10 months.

Oh well, I figure it is from Fully Stoked, so really it would be a disservice to this world if I did NOT buy it (I can justify anything).
