When you click the “Place Your Order” button above, you’ll fill out a form where you can tell me all about your pet. Tell me everything! Getting to know them is my favorite part.

You do! That’s what makes this gift so personal and special. I am happy to help you brainstorm ideas and help you edit your text into the format that will work best for a small book. Start by sending me 8 - 10 little facts or memories about your pet, and we can go from there.

My illustrations are sketched in pencil on paper first, then scanned and digitally inked and painted using tools such as Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop and Procreate. All art is original, made with human intelligence; never A.I.

Depending on my prior bookings, anticipate about 2-3 weeks turnaround time from when the order is placed to when you receive a digital proof of your book. Once the proofs have been approved, I will print and fabricate two books for you, and ship them with standard international shipping. You should budget 7-10 days for the shipping. Leading up to the holidays, I may get busy, so lead times may be longer— I’ll always keep you updated on wait times and will do my best to accommodate reasonable deadlines for gifts!
