After you check out, reply to the confirmation email with your favorite photo & the name of your pet. You can also put the pet's name in a note at check out.

When I have finished the illustration, I will email you and make sure everything looks just right! 

CHOOSING A PHOTO

I work from one photo, and I always encourage you to choose one that represents their personality. 

Photos with both eyes and ears visible usually come out the best, although not always necessary.

The photo you send does not need to be high resolution, but keep in mind that the better the photo, the more clear and dynamic your portrait will be. 

OPTIONS FOR PRINTING YOUR PORTRAIT

I now offer high resolution art prints shipped to you directly! You can choose to order only the digital file, an 8 x 10 fine art print, or a ready to hang, custom frame and mat. Keep reading for more info!

PRODUCTION TIME

You will receive your portrait within 7-10 days of your order.

If you need it by a certain date, I always do my best to and can almost always accommodate. You can include this information when you email your reference photo. 

FOR DIGITAL FILES ONLY:

Your drawing will be a digital file, so you will not receive anything in the mail - only the email with the high res image for printing. 

You can do whatever you want with it—print it and frame it, have it printed on canvas, make greeting cards, post it on social media, whatever you like, as long as it is for personal use.

For best results I always suggest having it printed through a printing service that offers art prints. The high resolution file can be printed out up to at least 16 x 20.

I prefer to order giclee prints on fine art paper through lumaprints.com, but there are lots of sites where you can order other prints and even use this portrait on other merchandise. 

FOR PRINTS:

You will receive both a digital file and one print in the size of your choosing, with or without a frame. 

When your illustrations are completed, I will email your illustration to you for final approval. Once you approve your portrait, I will ship your print as ordered. 

Your portrait will be printed on archival quality, acid-free matte paper with archival, eco-solvent ink. 

FOR FRAMED PRINTS:

If you like, I can custom frame your portrait for you.

Your print will fit inside any 8 x 10 frame or mat, but you can choose to save yourself the hassle and have it arrive ready to display or hang on your wall.

Portraits come in a black wood frame and include a custom white mat with a 1.5" border.

Framed with optical grade acrylic, which offers more clarity than a traditional glass frame and will not break or cause damage to the artwork.

Each frame is custom made and mounted to a foam core backing, ensuring the safety and preservation of your artwork for years to come.

All frames are handmade in California.

SHIPPING:

Please allow 2-3 days after you have approved your final portrait to receive tracking info. 

Prints without a frame will ship flat in a rigid mailer and will be shipped for free.

Framed prints will be calculated at checkout.

I look forward to drawing your furry (or feathered, or scaly!) friend!
