Bring your face

Your face stays. The light, the era, the paper it was printed on, the thing you turned into: all of that goes. Adults only. Looking is free. You pay when one deserves a wall.

The Monsters

Modern Dread

Universal 1931

You are the monster on the one-sheet

Renders are free to look at. Your photograph is sent to the engine once and not kept.

A test sitter rendered as an 1885 spirit photograph: sepia, a second translucent figure behind herThe same sitter's ordinary photograph, before the render

Spirit Photograph, 1885

A test sitter, forty-seven seconds. Yours replaces her.

Not for faces under eighteen. Not for photographs you do not have the right to use.

Scary, not cute

Halloween art online is mostly pumpkins with faces. This is the other Halloween: the one-sheet outside the drive-in, the tape the rental shop kept behind the counter, the photograph that should not have developed. Twenty-four styles, every one of them for an adult wall.

Some renders miss. That is why looking is free and every render is yours to refuse: we only print the one you chose.

The 24 styles

Five sitters share the wall, two to a style. Hover a card for the second.

Now in widescreen

The poster puts you on the wall outside. The still puts you inside the film: same face, same style, a world around you instead of a sheet behind you. Three of the forty-eight, dealt fresh for every visitor.

Three of forty-eight. Every style has its still, and the toggle above the picker renders yours.

Photograph in, monster out

  1. 01One photograph. A clear adult face, roughly toward the camera. Phone photos are fine. Group shots are not: one face gets picked, and it may not be yours.
  2. 02One style. The same recipe that painted the exemplars on the wall is run on your face. The prompt is built here, not in your browser, so what you get is the style you chose.
  3. 03Ninety seconds. The poster lands at 1024 × 1536 and the still at 1536 × 1024. Save it for nothing, or buy it as a print up to 16 × 24″: we rebuild the master at print resolution the moment you pay.
