Trees are so last century! Join the hempolution! (Which, even though they sort-of rhyme, is like the opposite of "pollution".) Yes, hemp is where it's at, and you'll love how this eco-friendly paper looks wherever you plan to display your poorly drawn portrait: on your wall, on your fridge, or at the bottom of your birdcage. You can sleep well at night, knowing no trees were harmed in the creation of your portrait. It's also acid-free! (Thanks Greenfield Paper!) This hemp paper, in case you were wondering, is medium weight (180 grams per square metre), so it's not quite cardstock, but it's fairly rigid.

The other (bigger and more expensive) paper option will grow wildflowers if you plant it, but no, the hemp paper won't grow hemp if you plant it. (Nice try.)

Fun Activity: Order more than one, and spot the differences between each of the finished products! (This fun activity is not only fun for you, but coincidentally lucrative for me, personally.)

It would be suitable for framing even without the portrait I'm going to put on it. In fact, it might be less framable afterwards...

Not only do you get a much bigger portrait (13"x19") on 100% recycled paper, but you get it in on funky Grow-A-Note paper, which has wildflower seeds embedded right in the sheet! When you are through enjoying your poorly drawn portrait, you can bury it in dirt and watch flowers grow from what used to be your face! It's the gift that literally keeps on giving. Help out me (by buying this), the environment (by promoting recycling), and your wall (by mounting the portrait once it arrives), all by choosing this option!

Note: I can't guarantee the color of the paper, and the seeds are kind of visible in the paper, so bear that in mind when you make your choice. And you should also know that I'm probably going to have to fold this paper in order to send it in the mail unless you tell me in step two that you can't abide that. It may be helpful to bear in mind that since your portrait will be quite poorly drawn anyway, the condition and appearance of the paper itself will be the least of your concerns. If you feel strongly about a particular color, you can specify your preference at the same time you upload your photo, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

Give the Gift of Poortraiture

Note: Gift certificates are unavailable until I can figure out how to make it work well, as opposed to terribly, as it currently does.

Give them the greatest gift of all: the gift of portraiture by a semi-amateur portrait artist! Pick the value of the certificate, and add it to the cart. You want to give someone a thousand dollars to spend here? Who am I to judge? Note: If you'd like a physical gift certificate mailed to you, probably because you feel like you should give them something to unwrap, be sure to include an extra $0.99 for postage, handling, and printer ink.

Can't decide what to get that special, (or, more likely, not so special) someone? Well today is your lucky day! Let them choose the photo they think they look best in. They won't know that it doesn't matter how good the original photo is until it's too late, and they are the unwitting owners of a poorly drawn portrait of their very own! It will be a cherished tangible reminder of that time someone bought them a gift certificate over the Internet.

Poorly Drawn Portraits

They're not terrible, but they're not that good either...
