The Sunday Times - Style Magazine From January 2008

"There's nothing more old-fashioned than commissioning an artist to paint your portrait, right? Wrong according to Jasmine Guinness.....Portraiture is in fashion, and its new popularity is coming from private individuals, not companies.
The pop art portrait. The mock Warhol portrait has been joined by the mock Julian Opie and the mock Roy Lichtenstein - all fun things to hang over your mock Alvar Aalto Ikea furniture. The main provider is www.youareart.co.uk"
The article shows an example of our Andy Warhol style portraits.

London Evening Stanfdard From August 2008
|
"Great Idea for Children's Art. When school breaks up you'll undoubtedly be bombarded with a collection of you child's art masterpieces created over the term.
Avoid having a collection of tiny paintings adorning your kitchen by choosing on of the best and turning it into a canvas.
You Are Art will take your child's picture, making any minor changes to clean it up, and enlarge and frame it on a high quality canvas in a matt finish."

Saga Magazine, UK From January 2007
|
An article describing both our modern portrait and Photos on Canvas, services. The picture shown is a pet pop art portrait in the Warhol style.
"Now here's a brilliant idea. Send a favourite photograph, or even a child's drawing to YouAre Art and they'll print it on to stretched canvas to any size you want, and send it back ready to hang. Prices depend on size, but 50cm x 33cm costs £77.00. Or they will turn a photograph into a proper painted portrait by an artist in your choice of style. Move over Hockney and Warhol. Find out more at youareart.co.uk"

Edinburugh Evening News From August 2006

"It may be a cliche, but it's no less true for that - we really are a nation of animal lovers. Proof, if proof were needed, comes in the shape of a survey completed by You Are Art, which reveals that commissioned portraits of pets have become more popular than those of most family members and partners. Only small children are more popular than cats and dogs in terms of portrait commissions.
You Are Art specialises in creating modern personalised portraits, and their commission for pet portraits have doubled in the last year." More and more of the commissions are of animals of all shapes and sizes", says Mark Berry, founder of You Are Art. "I have to admit that I'm stunned by the demad for pet portraits." You Are Art can be found at www.youareart.co.uk".
