Hand-Painted Pet Portraits! - Nationwide

Verified Member since Feb 2026 Verified checkmark

I know you have a ton of great photos of your pet in your phone. But how often do you actually go back and enjoy those special moments? What if we turned one of those photos into a printed painting?

Here's the process in a nutshell:

1) Choose a good photo for me to recreate as a digital painting (no AI here, ever. I do things by hand and take pride in that)

2) I'll approve the photo*

3) Within a few days I'll finish the painting, print it professionally (12x16"), package it up and deliver it in person! Distant buyers will need to wait for shipping which is subject to delays.

πŸš€Ready to get started? You've already done the hardest part: capturing your beautiful pet on camera. Leave the rest to me :)

πŸ’œWhether it's a current pet or a memorial piece, I'll handle them with the care and respect they deserve.

*Photo Guidelines

No humans allowed. I'm just here for the animals.
β€Ž
The image should be in focus, with minimal blurriness (I can't paint details that I can't see)
β€Ž
The pet should be the main focus with nothing major obscuring its body (unless it's something cute like snuggling in a blanket)
β€Ž
The background doesn't matter; I'll create my own to better highlight the pet.
β€Ž
I won't change the pose of the pet, so make sure the photo is a post that you love!
