To Commission a Pet Portrait

An 8×10 inch scratchboard Pet Portrait is $450.

I will need:

  • Your name and address
  • Name of Pet
  • One or two decently sized photographs which have been scanned at a high resolution (600dpi) – I need to see all the details of the Furry One’s eyes, fur, whiskers, all that stuff. A wallet-sized photo that you’ve scanned will NOT work.

Here are a few examples of what I can do with the right photograph reference.
