FAQ

  • Are portraits REALLY free? What’s the Catch?

    Yes! All digital pet portraits are free. There is no catch and there is no expectation of a donation.

  • What kind of pets will you draw?

    I have the most experience in drawing dogs and cats. With that being said, I also have experience in drawing horses, birds, goats, rodents, snakes, and lizards.

    I love to grow in my critter-drawing skills, so if you have a pet that is unique, please send it my way!

  • Can I share my pet’s portrait on my own socials?

    Of course you can! You hold the rights to print or post your pet’s portrait anywhere you want as long as you aren’t reselling it or using it commercially.

  • Will my pet’s portrait be shared on social media?

    Generally speaking, I post a photo of every pet portraits, just to spread pawsitivity and kindness. I will not tag you in the post without your permission.

  • If I support/ donate, does my pet go faster in the line up?

    I am usually “booked” atleast a month out. If you need a pet’s portrait by a certain day or have it planned for a gift, please email me and I will see what I can do!

  • How do I submit my pet?

    Right this way, friends of floof! You can send in your pet’s photo through my submissions page (link below).

  • What is my “treat jar”?

    My “treat jar” is just a fun way of saying “donation link”. Since I gift pet portraits for free, the Treat Jar is there if you’d like to toss in a bit of kindness to help fuel coffee, stylus tips, and kibble. Totally optional, always appreciated.

  • Do you guarantee that my pet will be drawn?

    I wish I had an army of hands like an octopus, but alas, just two. I can’t promise to draw every submission, but I do my best to work through as many floofs as possible.

  • Do you work with rescues or shelters?

    Yes! I love partnering with animal rescues to spotlight adoptable pets. Reach out if you’re part of one — I’d wag my digital tail to help!

  • Are all artworks free (in reference to patterns, prints, and other art)?

    Not all artwork you see is free- just the pet portraits.

    My non-portrait artwork (like patterns, decor designs, wallpapers, ornaments, decals, and special projects) is separate from my free pet portraits and will be available for purchase.

  • What kind of paid art do you offer besides portraits?

    I create patterns, prints, and other designs (sometimes critter-themed, sometimes just artsy chaos). These pieces are available through my shop or special releases.

  • Can I request a custom pattern or non-pet design?

    Yes! If you have an idea— like paw print wallpaper, floral backgrounds, seasonal, or something quirky for your brand— I can take custom requests.

    These are paid projects since they are outside of my pet portraits kindness mission.
