Did you cry in Up? Did you throw a bit of a fit when your parents wanted to get rid of your Buzz Lightyear toy? Do you dream in Pixar? If so, this artist is going to seriously make you smile.

Instagram sensation, Lance Phan, is a 3D artist who has become famous for transforming real people into one-of-a-kind Pixar-like characters.

Basically, you email Phan a photo of yourself and he transforms you into what you would look like as the star of your very own Pixar fairytale.

A standard portrait by Phan will cost you approximately $225, depending on the level of detail, and will be emailed to you as a PNG file. You can get as creative as you want with your commission, with couple photos or even a transformation of your entire crew. The possibilities are endless!

The only downside is that Phan’s service is so popular he’s become overloaded with requests. The artist has been forced to temporarily close commissions in order to give himself some breathing room! There is a waiting list, however, that you can subscribe to via email, and you’ll be notified when a coveted spot becomes available.

Ready, set, Pixar.
