Valentine's Portrait Cards

Valentine's Portrait Cards

This Valentine’s Day, we are offering something a little different, a keepsake that blends technology, craft, and genuine sentiment.

We created a new program that takes a photo of you and your loved one and transforms it into a detailed pen drawing, drawn live by a machine using real pen and paper. The result is not a print or a filter, but a physical drawing with all the subtle imperfections and charm that only ink on paper can have.

Once the portrait is underway, the experience goes a step further. You will be asked a few thoughtful questions about the person you care about. Using your answers, the system generates a heartfelt love letter, also handwritten by the machine. Each letter is unique, personal, and created specifically for the moment.

Every portrait card is made on site at the Bantam Tools Machine Arts Gallery, turning your photo and words into something you can hold, give, and keep.
