I draw gorgeous, loose, expressive, sketchy custom drawings of your pets, keeping prices friendly so more people can enjoy my art! This means I work quickly, with more emphasis on capturing your pet's personality than spending too much time on details. But be warned, you might find them addictive – they're highly collectable, and many of my customers come back for more!
I have drawn dogs, cats, and horses – I'm open to drawing any pets. I don't consider myself a "people portraitist", but if there is a person in the photograph with a pet, I am happy to draw them. Past customers have been happy with the results, and you can read my testimonials page to find out what they have said.
I use a combination of art materials to bring your pets' personalities to life – usually pencil, ink pen, and soluble graphite, occasionally with soluble carbon and charcoal (for larger work) on paper.
To keep my prices friendly, I don't offer framing. However, I do offer common sizes that are easy to buy frames for, and your drawings will come beautifully gift-wrapped, to make the receiving and opening experience even more special!
First, take a look at the options and my price list below.
Next, choose your favourite photo(s) for me to draw!
Now, email me the details of your order with your photos...
I will then ask for the extra info I need to calculate your P&P.
Finally, I'll email your invoice with different options for payment...
And once I've received your payment, you'll be added to my list!
I will be in touch when your parcel is ready to ship or collect
It can take between 1 and 4 weeks to receive your drawings, which is why it's important to order ahead of time if you need gifts for certain dates. There is an option to fast-track your order and skip my list further down.

Postage & Packaging is calculated individually, based on where you live and how you would like your parcel delivered. You can choose between standard delivery, tracked and signed-for. If you live locally to me, I may be able to deliver on foot, or we can arrange a collection.
I prefer not to fast-track orders as I don't think it's fair for other customers, but I understand that sometimes it is needed, and I can make an exception.
For the privilege to skip my list, you'll have to pay an extra 50% of your total order amount, not including P&P. During the peak period of Christmas, this increases to an extra 100% of your total order amount, which means you'll be paying double. This is to account for overtime I'll have to put in so that other customers aren't affected and will still receive their orders in time for Christmas.
A single drawing is ONE sketch drawn from ONE reference photo. The photo can contain more than one pet.
I offer single drawings in four different sizes: A6, A5, A4 and A3. When choosing, keep in mind that the smaller the drawing and the more pets in the photo, the less detail there will be.
People who buy a single portrait have often come back for more as their pet gets older, or if they welcome a new addition to the family.
You will provide 3 photos for me to draw, and I will draw them all in the same size – either A6 or A5, so that you get three separate drawings. These could be framed individually or together in a multi-frame or a bespoke frame (not provided). People love these for more structured wall displays, with the pictures hung side-by-side or vertically. They'll also look nice hung at different heights or placed throughout your home.
A gift set is a beautiful collection of drawings in different sizes. I'll ask for a selection of photos to work from; these can be of many different pets, and I'll then create a set of drawings that will be a unique and special gift for yourself or a special person in your life. The "surprise" element of not knowing what you'll get is also quite fun!
People love to give gift sets for special occasions like birthdays or Christmas. They're also a great way to treat yourself if you want to design a wall display or to have drawings of your pets displayed in different parts of your home. I think they also make really special memorial gifts to remember pets that have passed over the rainbow bridge.
I've tried to keep it simple, but there is a lot of information here. So if you're feeling confused and you don't know what you want, get in touch, and I can help you decide what's right for you – whether you're treating yourself or buying a gift for a loved one or friend.
