1-B Studio offers a custom-made service to turn your photos into paintings.
Paintings have a unique charm that is different from photos. Why not turn beautiful scenery from your travels or the town you used to live in into a painting to decorate your home?
This painting is displayed in my home and was the first one I created in my current style.
After deciding to leave New Zealand and return to Japan, I wanted to hang a painting of Wellington, the city I had lived in, in my Japanese home. However, I couldn’t find one I liked, so I decided to paint it myself.
Now, it hangs in the most prominent place in my living room.
Process of Ordering a Custom-Made Painting
First, please contact me if you are interested in having a painting made. At this stage, it is just an inquiry, so feel free to reach out.
I will ask about your preferences. Please tell me which part of the photo you like the most and your preferred overall tone. If there are no issues with the price or timeline, you can send me the photo.
The photo must be one you took yourself or one that your company or group owns the copyright to. Due to copyright issues, I cannot use posters or images found on the internet.
During the creation process, I will send you the line drawing for approval. If the line drawing is fine, I will proceed with coloring and complete the painting.
The completed painting will be sent to you by email. The printed version will be mailed to you.
Size
The painting will be created in A3 size (297mm x 420mm). Since it is digital data, it can also be printed in A4 or postcard size. If you need a size larger than A3, please consult with me as the quality may become blurry. Custom aspect ratios are also available.
Price
There are two pricing options:
- 30,000 yen for simpler paintings with less detail (example on the left)
- 60,000 yen for detailed paintings with more work (example on the right)
The price includes:
- The printed painting and shipping within Japan
- Original data for commercial use (both colored and line art versions)
The original data will be provided in CMYK 300dpi in jpg, png, tiff, psd, or other formats.
Unlike paintings on canvas, the package includes image data. This allows you to create shop cards, original tote bags, and more (commercial use is allowed).
Benefits of Digital Data
Digital data has some advantages. Since it is data, you can print it freely and don’t have to worry about color fading. When you want to print shop cards, scanning a painting can be difficult to get a good quality. With digital data, you can easily print it with the intended quality.
You can also enjoy different types of paper. You can print on smooth, white paper or textured Japanese paper for a unique look.
Creating Goods with the Painting
I can add logos, company names, or personal names to the painting and create print data for business cards, postcards, tote bags, and more. Please consult me about the pricing for creating print data.
Payment
You can pay half the price as a deposit and the remaining balance after completion, or pay the full amount upfront. If you are not satisfied with the completed painting, the deposit is non-refundable.
For overseas customers, please make the payment in Japanese yen to a Japanese bank account. I recommend using services like Wise or Xe.com for better exchange rates and lower fees.
