Halloween commissions

Halloween Pet Portraits from Your Photo

Halloween decoration is mostly disposable. This is the other kind — a canvas of your own animal, rendered in the manner of one of three Halloween traditions, that earns its place on the wall in October and keeps it in November.

The dark collections

Three traditions made for the season

Every one of these traditions works by moon and fire, lamp and shadow — an illustrated harvest night, a witches' night at the wood's edge, a lacquered salon after midnight. Your own animal, composed in the dark.

For the dog people and the cat people

Every tradition here is rendered for whichever animal is in the photograph. The sitters on this page happen to be cats; a dog takes the same fire, the same lamp and the same moon, to exactly the same standard.

A canvas meant to hang during the season has to be on the wall before it starts. Printing and shipping typically take 5–12 business days once you approve your proof, and international orders take longer, so early September is the comfortable window — and the portrait is worth hanging long after October.
