Artwork Specifications:

• The simple answer is that we can work with almost anything you can possibly send us.
   
• Our artists have worked on thousands of designs over the years and know how to take your concept and make it a reality.
   
• If you don't have a graphics background - don't worry, we do!
   
• If you can't draw, don't worry, we can!
   
• If you don't know how to translate your logo into a belt buckle - don't worry, we will help you out.

• Our full design services are surprisingly affordable.  Our artists are fast and very creative.  We charge by the hour for art services, however many times from a logo or sketch to final artwork is only about 1 hour.  If your design is much more complicated, then the charge will be a bit higher.
   
• There is no need for you to find someone to draw up your piece - we can do it all for you.  Send us an email, or a fax of a sketch, or any kind of file you have.
   
• Would you like us to reproduce an existing item - start by sending us a photo, and we can give you a quote.
   
• Whenever you see any of our designs, remember that the black areas are raised, and the white areas are recessed.
