Poor communication and customer service I called PopArta.com to ask about a project that I knew would be a modification of one of their existing templates. I called with the goal of getting a better understanding of what they could and could not do so that, perhaps, I could modify my project to fit their capabilities. The person who answered the phone did not seem to understand design and printing processes, and struggled to communicate in English. As a result, every time I asked for information or an explanation, he would put me on hold and convey my question to an "editor." For example, I would say something like, "Your website shows that you can do XX. But you've just told me you can't actually do that. Can you explain why?" He would say, "Let me ask." Then he would come back with the editor's response, which usually didn't have anything to do with the question. This went on for 10 minutes. At no point did the representative say, "You know what? Something is being lost in translation. Perhaps you and the editor could schedule a time to talk directly." Rather than seeking information from me to make sure they understood what I was hoping to accomplish, the company made assumptions about what they thought I was asking for. They threw up brick walls instead of exploring solutions. I ended up having my project created by a company whose website shows the same capabilities as PopArta.com.

Not A Fan I would probably not work again with this company. To start, I originally had purchased a mural of my picture, but then I got an email a matter of days later saying they no longer sell murals. So I had to settle for a canvas. My product was originally suppose to arrive at my door mid-September, but it ended up arriving about 10 days later then expected. And I emailed the company about this issue, but I never heard a response from them. Personally I was not to big of a fan of the image itself. I went for the popart one, and I know pop art will not look identical to the real image. I used an image of me as a child, and I do not think that it even remotely resembles the image I sent.

Cool Way To Show Off A Beloved Pet Our beloved dog Duke of 20 years is living out his last days and what a better way to remember him than to have a cool, colorful and uplifting picture of him done. This is on a nice thick wall tapestry with metal garments to hang with. This will be a treasured piece in our home for years to come.

Why can’t all companies offer this level of service. I have never experienced such good customer service from any online company. I modified my image three times and each time the changes were made quickly and as I indicated. There was an issue with the original photo -the orientation was too wide. I sent another photo that was the right orientation but needed some editing. I asked for someone to call me to explain exactly what I wanted. I was amazed and delighted when Lucy called me within 5 mins. She was very helpful. I am absolutely thrilled with the final picture. Well done, Poparta.

Our First Selfie 2009 We met in 2009 and while relaxing after a movie we watched together, Jenn shot this, our first Selfie. Well it's been 5 years and we are still together and last Valentine's Day as a gift I found the picture and sent it to be memorialized as a painting... just like the greats of the past. She loved it and it hangs in our bedroom.
