Get a HALF PRICE canvas!

Give your walls a fresh new look with FeelCreative's fantastic half price canvas offer!

FeelCreative.com are the UK's leading suppliers of canvas art prints and we've teamed up with www.wooshare.com to offer our visitors a special offer.

We can normally only offer significant price reductions to customers who order a bulk purchase of prints. This is because bulk buying allows us to negotiate better deals with our suppliers of canvas, frames etc.

However, using Wooshare, we can now allow even customers only ordering one print to receive a massive discounted price!

What we need is 20 people to pledge to buy a canvas print at 100x75cm. These prints would normally cost £100 each, but if we get 20 orders at once, we'll be able to offer them at half price.

You can choose any print from our online gallery or even have your own photo printed onto canvas!

Once we have reached 20 backers, each person will be asked to pay £49 + P&P and then they will receive their half-price canvas print.

Go on, give your walls a fresh new look with FeelCreative's fantastic half price canvas offer - visit http://www.wooshare.com/half_price_art.

Top music photographer picks FeelCreative

FeelCreative are delighted to have worked with Karen McBride, one of the UK's leading music photographers, on her new Manchester exhibition.

Karen, who is recognised as one of the most notable female music photographers, opens her portfolio and her heart in her first ever city centre exhibition, taking place at the Greenroom, Manchester, from 1st to 31st of October.

A master of both iconic black and white images and thrillingly vibrant colour, she's a virtuoso of her craft with the ability to step back and wait for that alternative angle, rather than going for the obvious shot.

FeelCreative were very excited to be chosen to produce the prints for Karen's exhibition, and she was thrilled with the finished results.

Anyone interested in a more in-depth insight into Karen's work may be interested in an ‘in conversation' evening, featuring Karen and John Robb, at The Greenroom in Manchester on Friday October 12th at 8pm.

‘In conversation' is a fantastic opportunity to view Karen's work as she talks candidly about her journey into photography and how some of the amazing opportunities have presented themselves in the most unusual ways!

You can also view and purchase a selection of Karen's prints by clicking here.

Words on canvas!

A canvas print featuring your favourite song lyrics, movie quote or poem is a really interesting way to add a personal touch to your home.

Our artists can take your chosen quote and turn them into a Word Art print, like the ones found here.

We can use any combination of colours, text syles and sizes - just email ourgallery@feelcreative.com to let us know what you're looking for and we'll be happy to help!

Turn your photo into a cartoon!

Having your own photos printed onto canvas is a great gift idea, and now you can make the present even more unique with one of our new stylisation options: cartoon or graffiti.

Our artists can take your image and turn it into a Julian Opie-style cartoon, or a Banksy-style graffiti image, for just £25.

To see examples of these images, and to check out all of our other options for stylising your photos, click here.
