Crafted by our designers
Your photos and details, composed as art — not a filter.
Printed to order
Pick between paper prints, canvas or metal prints — framed or unframed.
A sharp, well-lit photo where the face fills the frame and both eyes are visible. Daylight beats flash; eye level beats looking down. One good photo is enough — two or three from different angles help.
Yes — add a card for each pet, up to five, with their own photos. They do not need to have been photographed together: each animal comes from its own pictures and we compose them into one portrait. A portrait of two or three pets together is one of our most common commissions.
Like yours. The style sets the medium and the mood; the face, markings and expression come from your photos. If a detail is off, you will be able to tell us and we can send you better designs.

Seven at the moment: our Signature flat-ground portrait with the name below, a thick-brushwork Impasto oil, a carved Folk Linocut print, serene Cobalt Line linework, high-contrast Pulp Noir, golden-age Silver Screen glamour, and a Misty Sanshui ink wash. Pick up to five and compare the finished portraits.
Birthdays, gotcha-day anniversaries, a new puppy or kitten, a gift for the pet parent who has everything — and memorials for a pet who is no longer here. A custom pet portrait is what people give when flowers feel too small.
