Examples from our studio
Your pet's photo is still in your camera roll. A woodcut pet portrait turns it into the look of a 1920s Australian woodcut print: heavy black outlines, carved strokes through the fur, and flat colour lifted from your own animal's coat, on warm cream paper. Flat Australian natives sit behind your pet: gum leaves, golden wattle, gum nuts, an orange banksia cone and a red waratah.
Pick a spot with daylight and keep the flash off. Get down to your pet's eye line, have them face the lens with the whole head in frame, close enough that the eyes read clearly. One animal per photo, and a phone camera is enough. Our studio examples show it on four dogs, two cats and a chestnut horse.
An oak look frame is suggested, and you can swap it for black or white. The white mount, the border inside the frame, comes on framed prints only. Without one the picture fills the frame. Pick framed print, canvas or unframed art print, in A4 (21 x 29.7 cm), square (30 x 30 cm), A3 (29.7 x 42 cm) or A2 (42 x 59.4 cm).
A designer checks every portrait before it prints. Add one photo and your pet appears in this style in under a minute, free. The printed portrait carries no watermark. Judge the close-up before you pay, or switch to the room view, and add your pet's name at no cost.

Which frame colour suits a Bush Woodcut pet portrait?
The style page suggests an oak look frame for Bush Woodcut, and swapping to black or white takes a moment if you prefer. The white mount, which forms the border inside the frame, is for framed prints only. Skip it and the portrait reaches the edges of the frame.
Does the Bush Woodcut look work for cats and horses?
Yes. Our studio examples put a woodcut dog portrait on a Bernese Mountain Dog, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, a red Australian Shepherd and a cocker spaniel, and the same look on two cats and a chestnut horse.
How does a Bush Woodcut pet portrait look up close?
A framed print is made on 200gsm matte art paper behind a shatterproof acrylic front, and the warm cream ground you see is part of the picture rather than the paper. Before you pay, the page gives you a close-up of the entire portrait to weigh the detail, plus a room view that puts it on a wall.
Can one portrait have two pets, or me with my pet?
One portrait holds up to three pets, or you with your pet, one pet with one or two people, or two pets with one person. Add one photo per pet and per person, and a selfie is fine. With a person in the portrait, one photo of everyone together also works, and you confirm you hold the rights to the photos. Separate photos come out side by side, close together, nobody hugging or holding. No extra cost. A few styles stop at two pets, shown on the style page.
What changes can I ask for on my portrait?
Each style page has an optional Special requests box above Add to cart. Our design team reads your note and makes the change before your proof, included in the price. People ask for the name smaller or larger, the name centred or moved up or down, wider or tighter letter spacing, two names over two lines, a background colour outside the swatches, a collar, lead or harness left out, a stray object behind the pet tidied away, the crop adjusted for more room above the ears, or an eye colour or coat marking corrected.
What if it does not look like my pet?
You are the judge, first in the free preview before you pay. If it is not right, try another photo or another style at no cost. Write what you would like adjusted in the Special requests box. After you order, a designer reviews the portrait to make sure it will print well, then you receive a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, and if you want it refined at the proof, we refine it at no cost.
