How does it work?
I've been painting pets for over 20 years and I wanted to come up with a ridiculously simple way for you to order a pet painting for a friend- just because! And I think I came up with the purfect solution...
Order in 3 Simple Steps:
1. Upload
Use the order form below to upload ONE photo of your pet. Make sure you like the photo, because that's the one I'm using for the painting!
2. Pay
$40, shipping is included! After you fill out the details, put in your payment and submit the form, then I take care of the rest :)
3. SURPRISE!
Unbox a nice surprise they didn't know was coming! You already told me on the form where to send the painting, so I ship it out to the recipient and they get a totally unexpected custom gift.
Now... in order for this to work, there's a few rules:
One Photo, One Pet per Painting! Send just ONE photo of the pet, this will be the photo I use to paint the portrait. Make sure you like the photo! With the 6x6" canvases, they can only fit one pet (face of pet works the best!). If you want multiple pets painted, make sure to change the quantity below and upload a photo of each pet.
No revisions! Part of the fun is the surprise at the end. Rest assured, I haven't had anyone unhappy about the quality of my artwork in 20 years. No muss, no fuss. Just an easy peasy gift delivered right to your friend!
No Deadlines! Artwork may take 2-8 weeks to arrive. You'll get a shipping confirmation. These are for no occassion gifts, just because! Definitely don't order if you NEED it by a certain date. That's a big part of what keeps the price down!
Any questions? Check the FAQ below.
FAQ
What kind of reference photo do you need?
- A view of the face and markings works best. The clearer the photo, the better the portrait! Make sure the pet is facing the camera and the photo isn't too grainy or blurry. Make sure you LIKE the photo before sending it- it's what the final artwork will look like!
What's your art process?
- I start with a simple line drawing from the photo, then I paint over that with acrylic paint. I don't use AI and these are painted by hand!
Where do you ship?
- Continental US Only at this time. I cover shipping and I need to keep costs down as much as possible!
Can I send one to... myself???
- Sure, not a problem at all! I set this up as an easy way for you to give gifts of a pet... Giving yourself a gift is called self care!
Why no revisions?
- The no revisions and no deadlines is why I can do portraits at this price point. As they say... you can have it fast, good or affordable= pick two. I'm picking good and affordable!
How long will it take?
- Expect the package to arrive between 2-8 weeks after your order is submitted. I can't accomodate specific shipping dates with this offer. I will send out a confirmation of shipping email though.
Can I see it before you send it?
- Nope! That's the surprise! It's another factor as to why I can offer these at this price point, waiting for responses dramatically increases the time it takes for me to get these out.
How many are you taking at one time?
- Artwork is completed in batches of 10 each. Once all 10 are complete, I will open another batch of 10.
What materials are used? What are they getting exactly?
- 6x6" cotton canvas with acrylic paints. Boxes are reused (I have a lot of boxes around). Packaging materials are all resued too!
Oh no! You're sold out???
- The size of the canvas makes it so I can work very quickly on these, so spots open up quickly if they're currently sold out. If you want to be notified when the new batch opens, join the mailing list below!
