Your pet by any other name would be....interesting!

Send me a pic of your pet and I will create a custom illustration of him or her for your keepsake!

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...

If you prefer a straight serious portrait, just state that at checkout and I will abide!

Size: ACEO, 2.5x3.5, portrait or landscape, which is the size of a baseball card.
Medium: colored pencil on Bristol smooth stock

Framing options: I prefer to leave a 1/4 border around all paintings so you actually display the full size of the artcard once its matted and/or framed.

At your request, I will trim the piece to its aceo size and it will arrive in a clear protective sleeve and an ultra premium top loader.

This tiny piece of art will be an original illustration made just for you by me!

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! Im 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 portfolio at Smellyrhino.com, and as an eco friendly artist on twitter! I also paint very serious trompe loeil for my clients. Visit auzias.com to visit my really cool decorative painting business!

Whew, you read all that? Thanks!

We share our home with 2 dogs, and so they are like children, and I tend to personify them quite a bit, imagining their little adventures and even their thoughts in moments of boredom! I love all animals and personally, I feel that they improve our lives and our spirits. I would love to share my joy with you, too!
