Portraits

Hey all -- Christmas is coming and I just wanted to remind everyone I do portraits!

I do pets of all kinds. I just need clear photos and I do human babies and children (please, no adult humans, unless you want to make me stress out!

)

Below are a few examples of my past work.

Proof I do dogs

One thing I love to do is black and white with just color on the eyes... one example:

Please PM me if you're interested in having a portrait done for the holidays

All portraits are done on high-quality acid free paper, matted with acid free mats, sprayed with a UV-protector, and inspected by 5 feline inspectors.

Wow, that's a tough group to try to impress!

Kim your work is awesome. I doubt I could afford them, though. Can you give us any pricing?

Ah, pricing.... its hard to give general pricing because its based on size, detail, number or pets, etc.

But generally I've been giving hugely discounted prices to PT members. A 8x10 black and white portrait of one pet typically is around $75 including matting and shipping to established PT members in the US. The price could vary based on clarity of photo or level of detail (Example: a pet by himself would be well within the price range, but showing the room or accessories like stuffed animals or a decorative bandanna that you really want reproduced accurately is more detail and therefore more time consuming to draw)

Each portrait takes a minimum of 20 hours for me to do, so its a great deal
