These are some great ideas! Flavor Paper sounds like a cool one to check out. I recently had a photo printed on acrylic canvas through a company called Bumblejax. The print was pretty expensive, but the quality was much higher than other companies I've used in the past. I was debating between printing on acrylic or bamboo. Seems like they have quite a few unique options for printing on canvas. I'd recommend them to any photographer or anyone looking to fancy-up their apartment with some personalized wall art: http://www.bumblejax.com/
