See your dog as a portrait

To show you how it works, we've opened one of our styles early: The Card Room, where your dog takes the empty chair at an old card table, in thick, buttery oils. Upload a photo and see the result in about a minute.

  • Taken at their eye level

Fine-art portraits of dogs, cats and horses, made from a single photo and framed for your wall. Every portrait is checked and retouched by a person before it's printed.

Why The Card Room?

It's one of our styles, opened early so you can see what we do with your own photo. When we open you'll be able to choose from the full range.

Is it free to try?

Yes. You can try up to three photos a day, with no account and no card.

When can I order?

Soon. Everyone on the list hears first, with a private invitation and their portrait saved.

How is it made?

Each portrait is created in our digital studio, then checked and retouched by a person before it's printed.

What happens to my photo?

Can I include two dogs, or my cat or horse?

The sample style seats one dog for now. When we open, our styles will take cats and horses too, and several companions in one portrait.
