Commission A Picture Of Your Dog

I draw people’s dogs to create a lasting memory.

I started doing it for friends. I love seeing how happy the pictures can make them.

My own pal, Peanut, is a miniature schnauzer.

She’s on the large size for a miniature. After having three litters of puppies, she retired from that kind of thing. She makes me laugh.

In context

Caroline wanted a picture to remember her Boxer, Poppy, who is no longer with us. So I drew Poppy outside the family house.

How It Works

Usually, my drawings are created with ink on paper, often with watercolour or gouache, and finished digitally. Where possible, I draw from life, but with Covid I’ve increasingly worked from photos and films. Here’s one:

With commissions, I like to have a conversation beforehand, and when the work is nearly finished I share it with you to ask if there are particular things you might like added or changed before it is printed onto textured Hahnemuhle paper with archival ink.
