Yes, You can use custom art! 

Frame My TV is proud of our ability to produce top quality custom giclee prints on canvas from your artwork. Each giclee is carefully produced on the finest canvas and is specifically designed to be repeatedly rolled up and down for daily us. The giclee is then clear coated with a sprayed protective coating for long term durability. Custom artwork can be provided to us in a variety of manners. In most cases, the artwork would need to ultimately be converted into a digital file format for use to be able to build it into your Fine Art TV Cover. You would also need to provide a signed copyright release on file to be able to legally reproduce this copyrighted property. Generally, this is a transaction conducted privately between you and the copyright holder. If you have difficulty obtaining a release, please let us know and we will attempt to negotiate with the copyright holder on your behalf.

Copyright Protection: 

To legally reproduce your artwork onto canvas, we must have a signed copyright release waiver by the copyright holder on file or we cannot make a copy, even if you have the digital file. Also to protect any artists you are working with, they can simply specify on the release how many copies we are approved to make. This release is considered a two way contract between us and the copyright holder so that we cannot  make unauthorized reproductions from the digital file that has been entrusted to us.

• Typically original artwork and commissioned artwork does not require a release from the artist, but rather a signed release by the owner of the art is sufficient assuming this is not being used for resell purposes.
• Family portraits or anything taken by a professional photographer would always require a signed release by the photographer.
• Digital artwork purchased online can often be reproduced for personal use, but you would need to refer to the terms and conditions of that art provider to be sure. 
• Printed posters cannot generally be reproduced legally without consent of the copyright holder, even if you purchased the poster. 

FAQ's On Custom Art

A: Unfortunately, we cannot generally use an existing canvas painting because there are special borders and additional canvas that need to surround the painting in up to 10-12" additional so we can apply the artwork to the roller. Also, many originals are painted with acrylics and other mediums that are not designed to be rolled and unrolled repeatedly. Such actions can result in crackling of the paint and/or telegraphing the texture through the canvas such that after it has been rolled up then unrolled you may see a vertical line of the texture in the surface of the canvas. 

A: It's not just a matter of megabytes, it's more a matter of resolution at the final print size and also can depend largely on the subject matter. Ideally we would expect a file that is a minimum of 180 dpi at the final print size. However, this cannot just be accomplished by simply upsizing the low resolution file into a larger resolution with photo editing software. All this would be doing is multiplying pixelated appearance to make it larger. Your best bet is to just submit the highest resolution file you have and we can compare it to the size TV you want to frame and let you know if the file would be sufficient.
