Wonderful, personalized art history book

We ordered a personalized art history book for our Granddaughter's 7th birthday. We were blown away by the famous artwork featuring our granddaughter in the paintings. The text in the book was perfect for a 7-year old. I'm assuming it is customized according to the age of the child. Tom provided wonderful, kind customer service and saw to it that we were pleased with the final outcome. The printing is beautiful and the personalization of the story is wonderful. It will be something she treasures always and we can't wait to see her face when she opens her gift!

Tom was incredible to work with

Tom was incredible to work with! I ordered portraits of our children and he was super responsive and made edits until they were absolutely perfect! Highly recommend and will definitely order again.

Lost in the mail didn’t stop Tom!

Even with my disappointing mail/delivery service, losing our book, Tom was a superhero getting a new one to me in time for Christmas! My grand daughter’s face when she realized that it was her face in the pictures was one I’ll never forget! The whole family lived our special art featuring Wren. It will be a treasure for ever! Beautiful quality! My daughter is also wild about Freida Callo and loved the print featuring Wren as Frieda. Thank you Selarama for these wonderful Christmas memories!

Outstanding

Selfarama is a wonderful company producing delightful art history books and portraits featuring our friends and family. The books and portraits are creative and beautiful. I purchased the “If Famous Artists Painted …”. It is a stunning and fun book for children and adults, alike. Customer service is excellent, prompt, patient and very helpful.

You must make this book!

This idea is brilliant and very well executed in an amazingly short time. We are all thrilled with the results. Our five year old granddaughter has enjoyed going to museums with us and now is beyond excited to see herself "in paintings as the artists would have portrayed her"! Another extraordinary part of this whole experience is Tom, who represents customer service like you dream of! Everything is taking care of perfectly and almost immediately! I cannot wait to make more books!

This books worth every penny!

The book made for my granddaughter (age 10) is extraordinary! Every painting incorporates her naturally and envisions her in the artist's style perfectly. Excellent customer relations and very quick turnaround time!

PERFECT gift!!

I was at first confused, thinking that I needed to upload a pic for every page. Then I found out how great AI is! My niece is an artist and was graduating from high school, so this gift was PERFECT!! She said it was the best gift ever!
