Woodworking has been passed down through the dudes in my family for a few generations. Sometimes I enjoy building canvases even more than I like painting on them. #petportraits #handmade #art #artist
A collage of custom pet portrait artwork showing dogs and cats painted in vibrant, expressive styles—some realistic, others with whimsical or humorous flair. Each piece captures the pet’s personality. The artist’s website URL is displayed at the bottom: www.locopetportraits.com.
Your pet deserves more than just another photo. I create original, hand-painted portraits that capture their personality and charm—perfect for gifts, memorials, or just because. DM me a photo to reserve your custom piece. Summer spots are open (but limited)! See my work at www.locopetportraits.com

Who else builds frames canvases from scratch?
I prefer working on a hard surface of wood, and it’s satisfying handing a client something with some weight to it instead of a canvas.
Also thinking about building these as a service to other artists.
During the winter break of 2024, my family fell ill for the entire two weeks. I went into hiding, emerging only to poke them for signs of life. I unironically learned how to crosstitch between lifting in my pajamas, video games, and avoiding showers. #crosstitch #pixelart #meditation
Even though Neo's an a$$hole sometimes, he's a pretty good lap-warmer. #timelapse #cat #petartist #petpainting

Artists, what tips you got for selling work in public?
Finally packing up a ton of prints I have and looking to cross "sell my work at an art fair" off my bucket list (#698).
What are your art show best practices? #printmaking #artshow #artbusiness

Not every day is extraordinary with our pets. It's the soft looks, a morning pat on the head—that define most of our time with pets. A portrait freezes those moments forever.
That's what I do. Get in touch for a commission! #petportrait #petportraitartist #oilpainting #dogpainting #petpainting
