Custom Portrait

A few recent custom portraits to share with you in this post. As I rarely update my blog, please follow me on Instagram and/or Facebook for frequent updates!


Here’s a commission portrait of Bijou. Isn’t she pretty?!! Her momma has a love of the 80s and requested for her to ‘walk’ a cassette tape/ boom box. I was also told ‘Bijou’ means ‘jewel’ in French, and so I added a little diamond on her bandana. You can follow Bijou and her equally adorable sister, Daphne at @fluffdogcrew

Next is a commission portrait of Francy. This sweet girl was hit by a car when she was a stray, causing a neurological damage to her face making her looked a little mean. She was later adopted and lived a wonderful 22 years. Her momma constantly reminded us of just how gentle, sweet and kind this girl was despite her outer appearance and what she had been through. Francy crossed the rainbow bridge last month, joining her little brother I had grown to love. Thank you for commissioning a portrait of your beloved baby from me @odieseyes . I hope you find a little comfort each time you look at this piece of Francy art.

Today's chosen pet is from @peter_parker_17

Hello, my name is Peter Parker, everyone calls me Pete. One week ago I earned my wings and returned to heaven - I was finally free from pain, I feel so happy! My only concern had been my momma. I know she must be so heartbroken. I was too, having to leave her…. My brave momma had fought so many battles with me, for me… till the very end. But it was my time to go.. I lived 17 wonderful years on earth, that was very long for a dog! I was incredibly blessed. I wish my momma would know that I’m never far away. Sometimes I send her signs in the form of my scent, barking.. or I put her favourite song on radio.. and so many subtle signs! :) I love you momma. I’m doing very well so please don’t worry about me and take good care of yourself. And please tell Daisy I love her too (Daisy is my beautiful wife by the way). We will meet again someday. @peter_parker_17 @therealdaisylou

Hello, my name is Roxy and I’m a Pit Bull. I look like I’m wearing black leggings from side angle, isn’t that cute? :) Can someone explain to me why are people so afraid of us and banned us from many places? I know some of my brothers and sisters may look ‘fierce’ but we are be extremely loyal, loving and sweet too. My momma adopted me when I was a little nugget and she still calls me that years later, so I believe I’m very very special! Sometimes I would bring my toy to momma when she is working on her computer to remind her to take a break. I would also jumped onto the table to give her kisses when she comes home from outside. :D I wish everyone would give my brothers and sisters a chance to be their little nuggets too.

I was flipping through my sketchbook and found some old sketches/ ideas that didn’t make it to my picture book, this was one of them. So I turned it into a black & white drawing instead. Those of you who loved my earlier works of simple black & white line drawing style, this one is for you.

Merchandise of Stars Collector are available on my Redbubble store here - www.redbubble.com/people/dollgift/shop

daphne-dollgift.png

Hello, my name is Daphne. I was rescued from a high kill shelter in South Korea. I was very lucky. Momma said when she saw my sweet face on a rescue page, she couldn’t get me out of her mind and so she arranged for me to be transported to Ohio to be with her family. I had three sisters. Sadly, sister Siouxsie (2nd sister) joined Lola (1st sister) at the rainbow bridge last month. Momma was heartbroken. She said they taught her to love and inspired her to rescue other dogs like me. Today I get to follow sister Bijou around the house getting all the love and treats we deserve. Everyone agrees we look really cute together! Did I mention she looks like baby Chewbacca? I wish the other friends at the shelters will be as lucky as us..

Please get in touch if your pet is drawn and you’d like to purchase the drawing as a print or on merchandise such as t-shirts, phone cases, pillows etc.

Custom Portrait

Two years ago, I had the privilege to customise a portrait for a lovely client from Japan for her wedding. Now two years later, she contacted me again. This time to commission a portrait for her parents for their 30th wedding anniversary gift. My extreme honour! Thank you SO much, Aoba, you have no idea how much your support and faith in my works mean to me.

They lost their beloved dog, Sakura last year and requested to have her drawn in the portrait.

I threw in a card for them and handwritten the message on behalf of my client. :)

She even sent me photos after they received the artwork (I got her permission to share the photos). So sweet!

Pet Story - Sadie

Hello, my name is Sadie. I was kept in a garage and neglected for years. I was old and in very bad shape when a kind gentle soul saved me out of there one day. She gave me a beautiful home and showed me so much love for the next couple of years. Thank you, momma! Even though I am in doggie heaven now, I visit you and sister Sassy often. Sometimes I snuggled up beside while you nap. Please don’t worry about me, I am very happy here with many friends and grandpa to play with. See, I even grew a pair of wings! I love you very much, momma. I know we will meet again some day. When you miss me, know that I am just close by. @kimhawks3 .

Every now and then, I’ll randomly pick a pet to draw from my list of Instagram followers. Follow me and hashtag your picture #dollgift_petstory to get notice! All animals are welcome! 💜 Please get in touch if your pet is drawn and you’d like to purchase the drawing as print or on merchandise such as t-shirts, phone cases, pillows etc. 

Update: Some time ago, I decided to draw (and tell the stories) of random Instagram followers' pets. I thought it was fun and also a nice way to show my appreciation for their support. What I never thought was it could mean SO much to them. I feel extremely honoured to be able to use my creative talent to touch someone’s life. Thank you for letting me see it. I’ll never doubt myself again.

Never underestimate the power of small gestures and the gift you can offer to the world.

Pet Story - Smudge

Hello, my name is Smudge. I is nearly deaf but my hooman mom says I can still hear the sound of a cheese wrapper. Mom also likes to call me old lady. Silly hooman, I looks nowhere near old. I think I can pass off as a puppy with my adorable underbite and I can almost always get away with anything with this face. Now, has you got cheese in your bag? @nightowly .

Custom Family Portrait (New Adventure!)

For this piece, besides wanting her hubby & her to be holding an USA and Korea flag, client hoped to have the continent of North America and Asia to be incorporated into the artwork. I suggested a sunrise background to symbolize a new beginning for their upcoming adventure and also a pier since it was where they had their wedding shoot.

I want to take this opportunity to say a very big thank you to this very sweet lady @didel613. This was the 3rd time she engaged my service - each time she’d given me her full trust and the absolute freedom of expression, not to mention she’s always full of appreciation for my effort. Thank you also for the permission to share your lovely message (scroll down to see her message). This was just one of the many sweet notes she’d sent me!). My heart is full. I wish you and Taylor (hopefully your 3 doxies too!) the very best for your exciting journey ahead, Diane!

Custom Family Portrait/ Baby Announcement

Commissioned family portrait: Baby announcement with Disney/ Spring theme. This is another surprise gift order (so much love lately!) from a sweet husband to his beautiful wife who will be due in April. (Okay someone finds me a husband like that pls! Ha!). This has to be the most detailed piece I’d ever done thus far and I’m very happy with the result. I was told this morning that his wife received the art piece and was in happy tears. Knowing that clients love their order and appreciate my effort is the most rewarding thing for me. I’m not going to tag them in this post until they make the announcement themselves. I’m so excited for the arrival of their baby! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I love this piece so much too.

Client's note: ''I wanted to thank you again for creating such a wonderful gift, a keepsake that will be the centerpiece of our little girl's nursery. I gave the artwork to her last night and right when she unwrapped it she began to cry and said "You got me a Dollgift!?" She was awestruck and totally surprised. She said it captures so much. You can by all means share now! Thank you again.'' - Kevin (United States)
