Thanks for taking a peek! Want your pet immortalized as if from the pages of children's book? Or maybe you want some pulp art; put your pet in an old sci poster or a 40's style wartime poster even! Think of the possibilities!

You send a pic of your pet, I make a portrait. You can offer suggestions for what type of character your pet might think she wants to be, or you could leave it me, since my imagination keeps me up at night! I am happy to find the character lurking inside your pet! hehe...

Portrait size: 12x16", portrait or landscape
Media: Watercolor on Ampersand Aquaboard, or Acrylic on hardboard

This is an original painting and a work of art which will take a little time, so please allow 30-45 days for the imaginative process to be completed!

I just want you to know that art is very personal, and artists need a little liberty with expression. So, if you are going to do this, please remember that what you are really buying is my art and my artistic expression, not a photo of your pet. You will need a photographer if you are looking for that!

A little about me:

I feel really fortunate to be an artist, and to be in collections all over the place! I am eternally grateful for the support of amazing people all over the world! I'm a fine artist, decorative painter, writer and musician raised in the Pacific Northwest, currently residing in Atlanta, GA. I studied fine art and french in the US and France. My usual mediums include acrylic, watercolor and mixed media, but I like to experiment! I enjoy pop art and low brow as well as more traditional genres. You can see my blog "Smelly Rhino Studio" at Blogspot, and as an eco friendly artist on twitter! I also paint very serious trompe l'oeil for my clients. you can search for auzias on the web to find my really cool business!
