A few nice photo to canvas images I found:

It is no secret that I love typography in paintings, and every now and then I would come across some really bizarre work.
Harland Miller is both a writer and artist. His debut novel titled “Slow Down Arthur Stick to Thirty” was published in 2000 to critical acclaim. But he is best known for his giant canvases of Penguin Book covers.
I can’t help but to find him similar to Ed Ruscha in America, who also paint large type on his work. This painting seen at Art Basel Hong Kong recently is not his best, I think — but on his personal web site at www.harlandmiller.com/ there are quite a bit of fantastic WTF irony which are witty and sweet — definitely worthy of a visit.
In his own words: “Painting is the worst medium to express narrative, but perhaps the best to hit a nerve.”
