People and Pet Custom Portraits by Jon Kittleson - Nationwide
I am a commission artist that specializes in pet portraits mainly in dog portraits. I also draw cats, horses, people portraits. I can use your favorite photo and turn it into a one of a kind portrait. I use Sharpie oil based paint markers to create my original art. I offer 4 different sizes 5"x7", 8"x10", 11'x14"(Most popular), and 16"x20". The prices start at $185 for 5"x7" and go up from there.
All these sizes are a standard size which includes a 2" white mat to give it a clean professional look. I place the mated art with backing in a plastic cover to protect from fingerprints and etc. I mail off the art in a protective sized box.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.
