Gift Certificate for Custom Art from Potato Art Studios

The average turnaround time from start to finish is one to two weeks. If there are orders ahead of yours, I will provide you an estimated completion date during the portrait consultation process.

I do not offer discounts on orders, but I can offer discounted rates on shipping. For multiple portraits, I can provide you with a custom listing and incorporate the reduced shipping in the total price.

Send me a message through Etsy with the pictures you're deciding between and we can discuss which one would work best. When in doubt, send a message.

It depends on where you would like to place the portrait. If you’re planning on hanging it in a small area such as an entryway or hallway, I recommend the 8 x 10 or 9 x 12 inch size. For larger spaces such as living areas and dens, the 11 x 14 inch or larger size will be most appropriate.

If your pet is normally kept indoors, try to take a picture with your pet near a window with direct sunlight. Pictures taken at night or with indoor lamps tend to turn out blurry and unsuitable for portraits. The best pictures are taken with your pet outside.
When taking the picture, try to position yourself to have the camera at the same height as your pet and no more than a few feet away. Send the highest resolution image you have to me through Etsy messaging.

Unfortunately, I do not frame the portraits I draw. I believe choosing a frame is a very personal decision and it depends on where you plan on placing the portrait. Support your local frame shop and pay them a visit. Their expertise will ensure that your portrait is well protected and will look great in your home.

Yes! I update my Instagram ( @PotatoArtStudios ) multiple times a week with my ongoing projects . My website also has additional examples in the Portfolio section ( potatoartstudios.com )

Yes I do! I love drawing all sorts of pets. I’ve drawn ferrets, birds, and rabbits just to name a few. If you have a pet that you would like to have drawn, message me and I can tell you if I have the ability to capture their likeness into a portrait.

Unfortunately I am unable to do rush orders. I complete all portraits in the order they are received. As an alternative option, gift certificates are available.

I ship all artwork through the United States Postal Service (USPS) from San Jose, California. All artwork is safely surrounded by 1-inch thick cardboard sheets and wrapped in a sturdy cardboard box. Insurance and tracking is provided for all orders. Orders within the U.S. can be shipped via USPS Parcel Select (2-8 business day delivery) or expedited delivery with USPS Priority Mail (1-3 business day delivery).
