I Got Fiddled And I Liked It.
And that’s not even remotely as dirty as it sounds.
Photofiddle is a new-to-me site that I’ll be revisiting for sure as we have family photos taken over the years. Recently my husband and I took our first half-decent ‘us only’ photo in years. We had planned to frame it somehow but hadn’t decided what to do. When we discovered Photofiddle, we knew it simply had to be turned into a canvas.
With over 50 art styles to choose from and four
products to put them on, there’s surely something everyone’s going to love. We chose a wrapped canvas (a 12×18 is less than $100 including the fiddling) and we absolutely love it.
Even more than the canvas itself, we loved the amazing choices that Photofiddle offered. I simply sent them the bare straight-out-of-the-camera image and they sent me back links to 50 fiddled choices in just a day or two – from turning my husband and I into comic book characters to the oil painting above and the fantasy art & pastel choices you see below. (Incidentally, we chose the oil painting and the canvas makes it look fab. We were incredibly impressed with the quality of the canvas.)
Photofiddle is such an easy site to use, and it allows anybody to turn an uploaded digital photo into super cool styles of art. After you decide on your product and design, you can order it in practically any size ranging from 8″x8″ to 6 feet by 20ft in canvas or art prints, framed or unframed. Like limited edition artists, Photofiddle creates extremely high quality work but for a fraction of the price.
It’s like having a friend who’s really great at photoshopping but can also create cool works of art with their designs and deliver it right to your door. Fast.
Win it! Photofiddle is giving away a $50 gift certificate to one T.O.P. reader for the holidays. To enter, leave a comment mentioning which of the 50 art styles you like best and think you might use your $50 toward. Contest closes at noon mst on December 3, 2008.
CONTEST CLOSED & WINNER EMAILED

I can’t make up my mind! I love the colorblocks, but I also love the film strips and the collages…. Do I have to pick just one??

I would love to have the 4 photo collage of my Mustang
I’d put the 50 towards it!
November 28th, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Cool
This would be VERY hard as I would probaby like one of each…LOL!! I really like the impasto though. I always like the “impressionist” sort of style so that would sort of be neat to see one of our pics in that style.
Thanks for sharing and GLTA.
November 28th, 2008 at 2:49 pm
I would LOVE the Pop Art color squares with my 4 kids pictures on it and I’d use the $50 for that and put it in my living room!

I definitely love the pop art. I was just watching a documentary on Andy Warhol. What an interesting, albeit different, man. His art is timeless and still relevant. It would be awesome to put that perspective to one of our photos.
December 2nd, 2008 at 9:59 pm
The popart colored squares is bigtime in the running for my fave.
