Here's how it works:
Once you have a pixelpaint canvas that you think is pretty rad, you are eligible to submit an entry. Just send your submission via email (hello@pixelpaint.co.nz) or facebook and you're in the draw. All you need to do is fill out the questions listed down at the end of this post and send us an image - that's it!
Close to the end of each month we'll choose a submission at random, if you're chosen we'll sort you out with an A3 canvas voucher as a reward and make you pixelpaint famous, in other words, we'll publish your submission in our newsletter and on our blog for everyone to enjoy.
Our lovely customer of the month for July 2012 was Sarah Wright of Floyds Cafe in Island Bay, Wellington. Take a gander:
Tell us about the inspiration behind your canvases?
“Our style is a little rustic and funky, quite 'Kiwiana' and we loved the look and the colours of the old-school '20s and '30s advertising posters.”
What do you love most about them?
“They are different and really make a statement on our walls. People constantly want to buy them straight off the walls, but we'll never sell them!”
If you haven’t been to Floyds yet, you’re missing out! They’re serving up delicious home-grown style food with a fresh and local focus seven days a week. Head to 130 The Parade, Island Bay, Wellington to get your fix!

My inspiration for my latest canvas was wanting to give my Mum a canvas of the various pets she has had over the years. She has dementia now & I have recently put her in a rest home near us, as she was no longer able to manage or be safe in her own home. She was allowed to have one cat, but we had to find new homes for her other 3 cats, 1 dog & her hens - there was another cat that had been adopted but it died in it's sleep whilst Mum was in respite care. I then saw on Facebook a heart shaped verse about Paw prints on my heart and saved that to use as my centre piece for the canvas. Due to the move & visiting Mum most days, working two jobs & helping hubby to build our new home I didn't get around to scanning and finding the photos to put together as a collage around the verse till last night - after I finished work at 8 pm. I worked on it like a trojan & got my sister to email me the photos she took of Mum's most recent pets, but the emails tooki forever to arrive & I didn't get it finished till just after midnight. Uploaded it & hoping like mad that a miracle will happen & it will get printed in time for Christmas despite just missing the deadline.
If it is anything like the past canvas's I have had done it will get rave reviews from everyone.
Probably my next canvas's will be photos from our son's wedding
