I have seen other companies that take kids' art and turn it into magnets, calendars, mouse pads and other gifts with an online gallery as well. How is Artimus Art different?

There are in fact many companies that can turn one or a few pieces of art into gifts however no other company offers the solution to the questions "what do parents do with ALL their children's artwork?"and "How is it ALL preserved?". Only Artimus Art offers a way of preserving all your child's imaginative creations in one elegant book, in the most convenient, easiest way with web shopping. Artimus Art packages are all- inclusive and include shipping. We offer an on-line gallery where artwork can be viewed in a public gallery or shared with friends and family by being able to send those images to someone special. In Spring of 2008, we will offer a full gift shop where parents can purchase a variety of items imprinted with an art image. Right now we do offer our unique and exclusive Oil Masterpiece where any image can be turned into a Canvas Oil Painting, ready for hanging. It's the most special gift for that special piece of art.

How does Artimus Art offer a better service than parents who take photos of their kids' artwork or scan it themselves?

A photo of a piece of art looks like a photo of a piece of art and is most often of low quality unless it's professionally done in a studio. Many have scanners at home to scan the art themselves however the quality and professional process that Artimus Art offers is unparalleled even for the most computer savvy parent. Artimus Art uses the most current technology of digital reproduction. We take each image and gently restore, color enhance, resize, and reproduce it on heavy glossy paper and custom create each cover for converting all the artwork into an 11 x 11 hard cover, case bound, hand made book, all done by professional pre-press graphic designers and skilled bookbinders.

How long will the process take before I get my art book?

Once your order is submitted to us, your art collection box is sent out the next business day and should arrive within 5-10 days depending on where you live. Once we receive your artwork, customers can anticipate approximately one week before your art is posted in your gallery. Then, customers receive an email informing them that their images are posted and ready for viewing. Then the images are placed in the desired order, a cover image is chosen and the text template information is added. Once your book order is complete, we will go right to work on producing your book. Once we receive your artwork, the scanning process will take approximately 5 business days and your images will be uploaded to your gallery. Once your book order is submitted, your book will ship out within 5-7 business days. For most, the process takes 4 weeks from package purchase to book arrival. For customers who are in a time crunch, we offer a gift certificate option for gift giving. We do not offer expedited service at this time.

Do you offer Gift Certificates?

Yes, we have the option of giving a package as a gift. Just look for the Gift Certificate button on the web page and choose a package. Once a certificate is purchased, we will send a beautiful personalized certificate in the mail for you to give for that special occasion.

Do you include Photos in the art book?

There are many photo services which create photo books. Artimus Art is the only company which creates custom children's art books with the ease of on-line purchasing. If there are any photos that are included in a piece of art or were part of a classroom project, then by all means, send it in with your art however, since we make art books, we respectfully ask that you limit your photo submissions to those that were part of an art project.

Why can't I upload my own art images instead of sending them to you?

Artimus Art is committed to preserving your child's art in the highest quality possible. Uploading your own images usually means that the art images are photos taken at home or scanned at home and the quality of those submissions would greatly compromise the quality of our final product. Also, our intention is to make the process of preserving the artwork for parents as easy as possible, so we ask that you let us do the work and allow you more time to spend with your kid's drawing.

Can I send you my own box of artwork?

Each package is designed to be super easy for parents who normally would never have the inclination to go through all the boxes of art in their basements or attics. Therefore, a box is sent out to each customer once a package is purchased with the return shipping label included. If a customer still wants to send us their own box, the customer just needs to choose a package on the website and document with a signature how many art pieces are they are sending and include that in box. Also, please email us at Customerservice@artimusart.com to let us know that you will be using your own box.

I have some poems and other text that I would like included in the book. How do I do that?

We currently have future plans to add text options to each image and hope to implement this upgrade during the Winter of 2008/2009.

This is a great fundraising idea for our school. Do you currently have any fundraising programs?

We have just added the fundraising capacity to our website. For any fundraising, please contact us directly to set up a program. By the Fall 2008 School year, we will have established packages for fundraising drives.

I do not live in the United States. Do you do international orders?

We will be soon be able to accommodate our Canadian friends however, we currently cannot accommodate international orders. We hope to add this feature in the future.
