The Village Frame Shoppe of St. Albans, Vermont has just announced the launch of their new Photo to Canvas printing website, CanvasGnome.com.  CanvasGnome.com is the brainchild of two longtime friends: Dan Pattullo, owner at Village Frame Shoppe and Bear Bourgeois, lead graphic design artist for CanvasGnome.com.

“After the high demand for our canvas photo printing services on the local level, we decided it was time to take our product to a larger market”, stated Dan Pattullo, “That’s when we decided to launch our new business venture, CanvasGnome.com.”

CanvasGnome.com is an online service that provides photo to canvas printing to artists, photographers and the consumer market.  The user can log onto CanvasGnome.com, upload their photo file, choose a canvas size, style and edge wrap, then place their order.  All in a matter of just a few minutes.  Orders can be shipped to the customers door or for local customers, picked up in store.

Consumers can also search CanvasGnome’s online gallery of artists to find unique pieces to decorate their homes or office spaces.  CanvasGnome.com uses a selective process to ensure that it brings it’s consumers the best and most unique artwork by both established and emerging artists.  

Village Frame Shoppe has been in the artist giclee print business for nearly 10 years.  “We use the same technology and quality materials for our CanvasGnome.com photos as we do for the hundreds of artist’s giclees that we print each year through our gallery”, stated Dan Pattullo.  CanvasGnome’s photo canvas is made up of a blend of cotton and polyester, manufactured in the USA.  Each photo canvas is coated with an abrasion resistant, UV-blocking liquid laminate, to provide the best protection then stretched onto a solid wood stretcher, packaged and shipped to the consumer’s door.

To help promote their brand, CanvasGnome.com partners with photographers, artists (both traditional and digital), retail stores, online bloggers and websites.  “We are always excited to hear from companies,individuals and charities about possible marketing or promotional partnerships”,said Dan Pattullo.
