These three adorable faces were recently drawn for their bulldog loving mom, Kelly. We’re currently working on a drawing of her sweet 17 year old cat, Bella. I hope she loves it just as much as she loves the canvas portrait of her three beautiful bulldogs.

P.S. It doesn’t have to be of a pet. If you’d prefer I draw a robot walking a chicken, I’m all in.
I recently added a new option for custom pet portraits to bring back my original budget friendly style. I’ve gone and made a few images showing the differences between both styles. The detailed images have quite a few more brush strokes creating more depth and realism and the simplistic illustrations have bold outline and fewer larger brush strokes to give them a more cartoon look. Click on the images below to view them full size and please let me know if you still have questions!
Simplistic/Bold start at $50/per pet – Available as a print and on canvas
Detailed/Realistic start at $200/pet – Available as a print and on canvas
If you choose the simplistic/bold version and later, upon seeing the proof, decide you’d rather have the detailed version, upgrading is no problem! I can send you an invoice with the difference we’ll transform it to whatever you desire.
P.S. Custom pet portrait cellphone cases are coming soon! Keep a look out for the announcement!
I haven’t actually gotten the official “yes, I love it, print it!” on this custom portrait but I just love it too much not to share it. Hopefully his mom approves!

Yesterday, as I started one of my newest custom pet portraits of a pretty little girl named Max, I decided it might be fun to record it. The video isn’t my finest piece of work but it shows you how I create these little treasures. The next video I do, I’ll be sure to start filming from the very beginning. I’ll also speed it up and get the music right. Is it just me or is it really loud?

Okay, so if you don’t know already, I am OBSESSED with this dog. I don’t know what it is about him exactly, but I just think he is the cutest thing on the internet! I found Digby via Instagram when the app was first released to Android users a few months ago and his mom D and I have been chatting ever since. She is absolutely brilliant. Her captions are always funny, her costume ideas are always adorable, and her advice and wisdom are always delivered with excellence. It’s not often you find humans or dogs with such character and I look forward to transforming her photos into illustrated creations everytime. This time around, we showcased Digby’s bad side. ;]
If you’re a big Digby fan like me and want a copy of this little piece of art, this print is available in the shop as well as on Etsy. <3
Digby is on Facebook and also has his own website with great info, pictures of his friends, and fun contests. Go check out his bad self!
Below is the reference image as well as my initial sketch :]

Drake here was a Birthday gift for his human dad Matt.
I can’t wait to hear how the unveil went!
I was recently hired to do 4 portraits for a bride-to-be in Australia who is giving her bridesmaids custom portraits of their pets. Isn’t that such a fantastic idea?! Her wedding date is drawing near so time is of the essence so I’m hoping to get proofs of all four pets done by tomorrow..
On the list we have a Chocolate Lab named Leroy Brown, a Beagle named Fred, a Jack Russell Terrier named Reginald, and a lovable kitten named Juno.
I had a little trouble getting started this morning so I drew a few fun sketches to get in the rhythm… Here’s my favorite of the bunch :]
