    Unusual Artwork for the Discerning Eccentric

    Curious Portraits is a portrait treasury of all the things that filled me with wonder as a child and continue to fire my imagination. Anthropomorphic and Victorian animals, Gothic portraits and Retro food icons. These portraits are steeped in nostalgia and represent my idea of an ideal world in which animals wear clothing and puppets, Victorian skeletons and giant peanuts co-exist!

    All the items in this shop are created from these original portraits and are handmade by me with care.

    My studio is nestled in the West Village of Manhattan and shared with my faithful companion Astro who is a constant source of inspiration and joy.

    You might also enjoy my satellite shop, Curious Print & Pattern which features whimsical retro cross-stitch charts, prints, cards, ornaments and coasters that reflect my love of surface design and vintage illustration.

      Owner, Artist

      I am an illustrator living in Manhattan's West Village. I love painting animals and giving them not only personality but a sense of existing in the past. I am inspired by children's stories, Victorian style and Renaissance portraiture.

    • Astro

      Astro, as the youngest member of the team, brings fresh ideas to the shop and is responsible for keeping up morale. He is my prime source of inspiration!

    Shipping
    Your prints will arrive in a cello sleeve sandwiched between 2 cardboard inserts for protection. I generally use USPS first class mail. If you need a package right away please select priority shipping. 11 x 14 prints are shipped rolled in a mailing tube for their protection.

    Please check the tracking link if your item does not arrive as expected and contact me if you have any questions. Mailing times vary and we are dependent upon the USPS. If you need an item in a short amount of time please select Priority mail at checkout. I will replace items that do not arrive within a reasonable amount of time and will do my very best to resolve any issues that arise.

    International orders please note that tracking is only valid until it leaves the U.S after which you will need to check in with your local post office. I cannot be responsible for any added customs fees, import taxes or duties that may be added by your own postal system as they are unknown and unpredictable to me. Normally there are none but occasionally a fee will be attached to a package and unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it.

    Let me know if there is a problem, I am here to help.
    Additional policies and FAQs
    Custom portraits can be payed in installments, just contact me to set up scheduled payments for you. Item will only be shipped after payment is complete. Custom orders are final sale.
