Q: How long does it take to finish a portrait?

1 week or less, once your pet photo has been approved.

Q: Do You Use AI (artificial intelligence) for Portaits?

Never. I'm anti-AI for my art projects. My work is all done by hand.

Q: Will My Pet Portrait be Posted Online?

Yes (It goes in my portfolio/social media to further advertise my services). However, I will delay posting if you're ordering the portrait as a gift. No need to spoil the surprise! I will never resell your portrait to anyone else. This is a one-of-a-kind project just for you.

Q: How is delivery handled?

If you are local to Greenville, I can deliver it in person (we agree on a public place to meet). ‎ If the distance is too great, I'll ship it via FedEx. We can work out those details privately.

Question 2

Tip: How to Choose a Good Pet Photo

Accepted Answer

-No humans allowed. I'm just here for the animals
‎ 
- The image should be in focus, with minimal blurriness (I can't paint details that I can't see)
‎ 
- The pet should be the main focus with nothing major obscuring its body
‎ 
- The background doesn't matter. I like to get rid of it anyway to really make pets the main focus of the painting.
‎ 
- If part of your pet's body is cropped off the edge of the photo, that's fine. It will be cropped in the portrait as well, as I believe it's more honest/respectful to not try to guess what a pet's body parts truly look like.

Question 3

How to Order!

Accepted Answer

1) Email or text me from the buttons on my Linktree page
‎ 
2) Include your name, the name of your pet, and include your chosen photo that you want me to recreate.
‎ 
3) If the photo doesn't meet my requirements, I may ask for another (See "Tip: How to Choose a Good Pet Photo" in the FAQ)
‎ 
4) Once I've approved your photo, I'll collect payment up front and begin working on your pet portrait (See "Price and How to Pay" for more info).
‎ 
5) When the portrait is finished, I'll contact you on the same phone number/email you used originally to arrange for meetup/delivery.

Question 4

Size: 12" x 16". The painting can be portrait or landscape, depending on your original photo.
‎ 
Color: Black and white only (my personal preference)
‎ 
Packaging: The print is wrapped in a plastic sleeve with a sturdy cardboard shipper to keep it flat.

Question 5

Can I have multiple pets in a portrait?

Accepted Answer

Not at this time. For the sake of simplicity and easy pricing, I'll limit it to 1 pet in each portrait. If I change this policy later, I'll update the FAQ and marketing materials.

All species are welcome! If you love them and consider them a valued member of your family, I don't discriminate <3

Payments are non-refundable once a portrait has been commissioned or delivered.

If an unexpected event prevents the completion of a portrait, refunds can be given at the artist's discretion.

Question 12

Waiting List

Accepted Answer

Portraits are painted on a first-come, first-served basis. All requests are put into a spreadsheet in order of arrival. Depending on the amount of requests, I may need to wait a few days before I take a payment and begin work. This ensures I don't overwhelm myself and still hit deadlines.
