The real thing

Brushstrokes you can feel.

Every canvas arrives with its brushstrokes raised, so they catch the light and stand up under your fingertips. This one is ours, photographed on our own wall.

“Hung this right by our glass entryway and it instantly warms up the whole room.”

I was worried about how three different dogs would blend into one scene, but the transition and lighting in this floral garden setting are seamless. From our golden retriever's big smile to our little chihuahua's perked-up ears, the likeness is spot-on!

Having four dogs means it's nearly impossible to get them all to sit still for a single photo, so I had Afrodie create this lakeside terrace portrait for my office wall. Seeing all four of them together right above my desk makes long workdays so much better. The 'Good Dogs Good Life' detail on the flower pot is such a sweet touch, and the large size fills the wall space perfectly!

“Our corgi already acts like he owns the place, so making him actual royalty was only fair.”

We put this vertical canvas up on the pillar wall right next to our tea and dining table, and it fits the narrow wall space like a glove. The red velvet robe and crown details pop beautifully against the white wall!

“I wanted something fun and quirky to brighten up our guest restroom wall, and this custom Halloween Corgi canvas completely stole the show!”

When you look at it up close, the brushwork texture and the warm glow from the jack-o'-lanterns look just like a real hand-painted oil painting. Everyone who visits comes out talking about how cute our little wizard is!

It has one job: to look like them.

Love and beauty. What you send us is never just a photo — it's someone you love. So the painting keeps what makes them them: no smoothing, no slimming, no invented markings. We're a small studio in Irvine, California.

Before you ask.

All questions
Will it really look like them?

That's the whole idea. We keep what makes them them — no smoothing, no slimming, no invented markings — and you see the painting before you pay. If something's off, ask for a change and it's repainted.

Which photo should I use?

A clear phone photo in daylight, with the eyes visible, taken at their level. Old photos and scans work too, and two pets — or you and your dog — can come from separate photos.

Is it hand-painted?

No. Software paints it from your photo — that's how you can see it free in seconds and try as many styles as you like. Then a person here checks every painting before it's printed on canvas, and the brushstrokes are raised by machine so you can see and feel them.

Can I give it as a gift?

Yes — paint it yourself, or send a gift card by email and let them choose the photo, the style and the size. For Christmas, order by Tuesday, December 1.
