Buy a giclee print of your pet portrait
After many requests from clients I now have a print service where you can order professionally printed fine art prints of your portrait for other family members or close friends to enjoy.
I understand the precious and personal relationship you have with your beloved pet, and so prints of your drawing will only be available to you. No one else. I’ll never create prints of your portrait for general sale to the public. This is a personalised one-off service to you alone.
So, if you’d love to share the joy of your portrait with your loved ones through a professionally printed Giclee Print, read on!
What is a giclee print?
Your print will be professionally printed by a fine art printing facility using a technique known as Giclee Printing (pronounced Gee-clay). Giclee prints are printed using professional pigment-based inks to give extremely high-quality prints with sharp details and vivid colours. You may even struggle to tell the print from the original drawing!
Your artwork will be printed onto Hahnemühle, Bamboo 290 GSM paper. This type of paper is both environmentally friendly, and gives outstanding print results. It has a beautifully soft and lightly textured feel to it, and meets the highest archival standards, meaning it will be highly resistant to ageing.
Size options and prices
I have a range of standard sizes below which should meet most requirements. Since the print will come with a border mount around the perimeter (as pictured), I’ve quoted both the image size, and the overall size with the border added. This will tell you which standard frame size your print will fit.
The size you choose is ultimately up to you. I don’t recommend ordering a print larger than the original portrait size as this will result in a reduction of image resolution. Note that if your original portrait is square, you'll need to choose a print size that is also square.
If you’d like a size that is not listed below, please get in touch as I always try to accommodate specific requirements.

Will my print come framed?
Your print will come beautifully mounted, and ready to gift. Framing is not included. However, all the sizes quoted above will fit standard sized frames that you can buy off the shelf. This will allow you to choose a frame that suits your personal tastes.
How will my print be packaged?
Each print will arrive flat, not rolled, and with a stiff backing board and professional mount border. It will be carefully wrapped in cellophane to give protection until it can be framed.
How long will my print take to arrive?
The professional printing facility that I use takes great care in producing work to the highest standard. This means that your print may take a couple of weeks to be produced. Please bear this in mind when ordering. You’ll be kept up to date with the progress and will get a notification to tell you when you can expect delivery.
For international orders, please also allow 5 to 7 working days for shipping to your location.
How do I purchase a print?
Once you’ve decided on your preferred print size, please get in touch to place your order with me directly. I’ll issue you an invoice, and once payment has cleared, I’ll send your order to the printers.
If you’re ordering a print at the same time as booking your original pet portrait, then obviously I won’t be able to order any prints until the original drawing has been completed and approved by you. Once I’ve emailed you a photo of your finished artwork to check that you’re happy with everything, and I've received approval from you, I’ll then submit your order to the printers.
Can I purchase a print of an old portrait?
If I drew a portrait for you some time ago, I can still have a print made of it for you. I always keep high resolution photos of all my portraits so producing a print for you will not be a problem. Please get in touch to discuss your requirements.
