From idea to doorstep — entirely online, beautifully effortless.
Pick a theme, choose your print size, and invite contributors via a personal link. No account needed for them.
Each person gets their own private canvas to sketch, doodle, or write. Takes less than 2 minutes on any device.
We assemble all the drawings into one cohesive artwork and ship it straight to the recipient — beautifully packaged.
“Will my people actually do it?”
The most common thing we hear. Here's what contributors experience: they click a private link, see a blank canvas on their phone, draw anything they want — a doodle, a signature, a heart — and hit submit. Under 2 minutes. No account, no app, no friction.
Even the technophobes in your group can do it.
The moment that matters
“Imagine unwrapping a gift drawn by twenty people who love you.”
That's the moment our customers describe when they tell us about their experience. A gift that's not bought — it's made. By everyone who matters.
Any occasion worth celebrating is worth creating art for.

Our quality guarantee
If your print arrives damaged or has a defect, we reship it at no cost. No forms, no waiting — just email us with a photo within 14 days. We've never let a bad print ruin a gift.
Cover it yourself
Simplest option. You pay the full amount at creation — contributors just draw. Optionally let friends chip in to earn credit on your next campaign.
Split with the group
Set a target. Friends chip in any amount after drawing. You only pay the shortfall — if any — at the deadline.
Unedited. No prompting.
“I sent the link on a Monday. By Thursday I had 18 drawings. I honestly thought half of them would flake. The print is now the first thing you see when you walk into her apartment.”
Maya
Best friend's 30th birthday
“My team is fully remote, across four time zones. I was dreading the coordination. But nobody needed coordinating — they just drew. The print went up in his home office the day it arrived.”
Priya
Manager's 10-year work anniversary
“My kids are 6 and 9. They drew their pieces on the iPad in about three minutes each. My parents still can't believe it's assembled from all those little drawings.”

Grandparents' 40th anniversary
A note from us
We built this because group gifts are usually a letdown.
A rushed card with twelve signatures. A gift card nobody really wanted. An Amazon voucher. We kept watching people who genuinely care about each other end up with something forgettable — not from lack of effort, but from lack of a better option.
TraceAndTale is our answer to that. Something made together, that looks like it. If you create a gift and it moves someone, we'd genuinely love to hear about it.

Depending on the print size you choose, you can invite anywhere from 8 to 40 contributors. Each person gets their own drawing slot — so the larger the print, the more pieces you collect.
No. Contributors receive a private link by email and can draw directly in their browser — no sign-up, no app download. It takes less than 2 minutes on any device, including mobile.
You set a deadline when you start your campaign. Any slots not filled by then are gracefully skipped, and the artwork is assembled with the pieces received. You can also extend the deadline if you need more time.
Once your campaign closes and you approve the assembled artwork, production takes 2–3 business days. Shipping within the US typically takes another 3–5 business days.
Yes — you'll receive a preview of the assembled artwork for your approval before we send anything to print. Nothing ships without your sign-off.
It takes 3 minutes to set up. Your contributors need 2 minutes each.
Orders placed today ship in 5–8 business days.
