We replace the one animal that was already in the painting with yours. The people, the room, the light, the cracks of age — untouched.
Sooner or later a guest leans in, goes quiet, then turns round — is that your dog?
Leonardo, 1489. Cecilia Gallerani has held this ermine for five hundred and thirty-seven years.
Same lady, same hand, same candlelight. Only the animal has changed.
Every stroke follows the original — the sfumato, the weight, the way five centuries of varnish have cracked.
The white blaze. The dark tip of the tail. The one odd ear. If it makes them them, it's in the painting.
Drag the line across any painting — original on the left, commission on the right. Forty masterpieces to choose from — twenty upright, twenty wide.
Six to twelve paintings, one for every month — the same pet, or the whole household, moving through a year of masterpieces. Choose upright or wide, choose the month it starts on, and print it at any copy shop on ordinary letter paper.
The painting keeps its own shape — nothing is cropped to fit the page.
Every month carries its own museum label, the way a picture is hung.
Twenty upright paintings and twenty wide ones to choose from. $13 a month, six months minimum — a full year is $149.
Western oils, Chinese court scrolls, Japanese prints — each already has an animal in it. That's the one we replace.
One clear photo of your pet — face visible, good light. We study the markings that make them them.
A print-ready file within 24–48 hours, rendered in the artist's own technique. Preview first; one revision included.
You receive a high-resolution digital file — print-quality up to about 20 inches — and a one-page printing and framing guide. Take it to any print shop or frame store, or hang it on the wall of your phone.
Every base painting is in the public domain. The artists have been gone for centuries; their work belongs to everyone, including your cat.
Every extra pet is +$15, on any commission. Paintings with several animals can take several pets. Digital files only for now — framed prints, magnets and stickers are coming.
Commission a portrait →Yes — we match the exact markings: the blaze on the nose, the dark tip of the tail, the one odd ear. If your pet has a signature detail, it's in the painting.
Every painting we use is in the public domain — the artists have been gone for centuries. The works belong to everyone, including your cat.
A high-resolution digital file (print-quality, up to ~20 inches) plus a one-page printing and framing guide. Take it to any print shop or frame store.
One clear, well-lit photo — face visible, front or three-quarter view, just one pet in frame. We'll tell you right away if we need a better one.
Twenty-four to forty-eight hours. You approve a preview before the final file — one revision is always included.
Some pets get a portrait.
Yours gets a masterpiece.
