Frequently Asked Questions
Where are commissions available?
Worldwide.
Do you illustrate from photos I take myself?
Yes—send 5–10 clear photos and I’ll choose the best reference for the strongest likeness and fur detail.
Can you combine multiple pets into one portrait?
Sometimes. Multi-pet portraits are available case-by-case depending on reference photo quality.
Do you provide digital files?
Illustration commissions are delivered as fine art prints only. I don’t provide print-ready digital files—this protects the integrity of the artwork and ensures your portrait is produced with the color, paper, and finish it deserves.
What’s the turnaround time?
Typically 2–4 weeks depending on current availability and print production.
