The artwork
A clean generated artwork made from the uploaded photo. It can be bought as a digital file or printed as a physical object.
The Institute of Questionable Art

Preparing the room.
Nigel is straightening the frames and clearing his throat...
Dimming the lights to a flattering, faintly judgemental level...
Uncorking something he cannot pronounce but insists is correct...
Adjusting the velvet rope around nothing in particular...
Rehearsing an opinion he will deliver as though it were always obvious...
Prints & Editions
Choose the product that carries the joke: a digital file, gallery board, paper print, C-type print, or tile. Each order can come with provenance paperwork and a QR route to the artwork's secret origin story.
A note on dispatch: prints and digital downloads travel to collectors in 50+ countries. Greeting cards, being delicate creatures, are posted from the United Kingdom; a few formats deign to reach the EU. Eligibility is confirmed, with great ceremony, at checkout.
Begin with a strange source image and let the artwork announce itself.
Pick from boards, smooth art paper, C-type prints, and small tiles.
Pair the final piece with a certificate and QR reveal so the story travels with it.
Choose your starting point
This catalogue explains the possible products. The actual order begins from a kept artwork in your collection, or from a plain file in Print Your Own.
The order is plain: make the artwork, keep one variation, then send it or order the object. The committee has been asked not to complicate this. It is coping.

Use saved artwork →No Nigel required
Upload a file for competent printing without provenance, title, or the usual institutional squint.
Use my own image →What the buyer receives
The simple version: upload a photo, generate the artwork, then choose whether it becomes a digital file or a physical print. The extra value is the provenance package: a certificate, a QR code, and a page that reveals what the artwork used to be.
A clean generated artwork made from the uploaded photo. It can be bought as a digital file or printed as a physical object.
The artwork keeps a deliberately ridiculous record of what it started as, so the gift has a reveal instead of just being another print.
A downloadable provenance certificate gives the piece a title, a story, a small artwork image, and enough official posture to make the joke land.
Add or share the QR code so the recipient can scan it and open the provenance page: artwork first, embarrassing source second.
A schedule of indignities
Every format begins with the same free interpretation in the studio. You only pay once a saved artwork has earned the expense.
