Though pictures are worth thousands of precious words, their feeble voices are gagged behind glassy frames and suffocated inside photo albums, shoe boxes, and goats. Let your valued memories let loose their musical screams with today's Groupon: for $40, you get $80 worth of custom photo canvas prints from CalgaryOnCanvas.com, an online shop that transforms customers' photographs into canvas-topping works of art. Shipping is not included in the value of this Groupon; however, if you spend more than $99, shipping is free.

Building a custom canvas print is a quick and easy art project, unlike reconstructing the Tower of Pisa with pipe cleaners. First, upload any image (in JPEG format) from your computer, camera, or subconscious memory to be converted into a work of art. Next, select the canvas you would like your picture to be formatted on. Pricing varies depending on canvas style and size, starting with $17 for an 8"x10" flat print with a 1" white border. Stretched and mounted across 3/4-inch wooden bars, the standard gallery-wrap print doesn't necessitate a frame. Tons of sizes are available, including a 14"x11" for $67 and a 24"x18" for $118. After making your selections, simply go through the online check out, prepare any pre-existing wall art for its new baby sister or brother, and wait for the art-delivery stork.

CalgaryOnCanvas.com approaches art with an interactive attitude, providing an alternative to awkward teen-idol posters or overly symbolic paint blobs. Personalize your inner world with self-snapped memories of friends, family, and favourite pet ants or create a personalized anniversary gift with the high-quality textured canvasses.
