“This is the second portrait I have commissioned Alex to draw, and there's a good reason I returned to him for a second time. We were blown away the first time with the portrait of Angus, so I knew after losing our precious boy Ziggy that there was only going to be one artist I would contact. Commissioning Alex to draw this time would come with an abundance of emotions that Alex dealt with so beautifully with his professionalism, kindness and sensitivity.
He guided me with a choice of photographs and with his experienced eye picked the perfect photograph, one I hadn't myself thought about using, but my goodness he was so right. Once the portrait was complete and was initially emailed to me, despite Alex's insistence that I took time to absorb the finished piece and pass on any changes I may want to make, I knew immediately that it was perfect and that he had mastered it in one hit. I couldn't believe it could get any more perfect but on receiving it for real, I actually couldn't breathe or speak. It really was exceptional. Alex brought Ziggy back to life but with a air of serenity and beauty that made him look so at peace, something that just couldn't be captured had I just had the original photograph printed.
My reaction was replicated by every family member, bringing tears and joy, especially on Christmas day when it was gifted to my husband. The special moment was consolidated with a heartfelt video message from Alex himself and a clip of the work in progress.
The entire package was professional, thoughtful and well worth every single penny.
Alex is a truly magnificent and talented human being and we can't thank him enough for creating a gift to last a lifetime.
There is only one artist I wanted to draw my beautiful Ziggy!”

“I cannot thank Alex enough for the wonderful portrait of Muggsy. He was an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning and made sure I was absolutely satisfied with the portrait before finalizing the project. Alex is extremely talented (as you can see with his work!) and I’m so thankful I found him through Reddit. I now have a lovely piece of art that I will forever cherish and I know who to come to for any future pet portraits. Thank you again, Alex!”

“Alex is an incredibly talented artist. Words don’t convey just how amazing he his. We commissioned him to do a portrait of our beloved dog Tucker, who is no longer with us and he nailed it. It is absolutely stunning, he captured Tuckers spirit and you can see it in the portrait. We love, love, love it and will cherish it forever. Alex made the process extremely easy, communicated with us throughout the whole process and he even delivered ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend Alex to anyone, he is just amazing.”

“We gave a portrait of our Winni to our youngest who graduated from university this year. She has a very special relationship with Winni and was blown away by the portrait. Winni will be able to watch over her in her next adventure in life! Alex was easy to work with and did a great job getting the piece to us in time. Thanks Alex for a unique and beautiful gift!”

“I approached Alex for a portrait of my shih tzu, Morse. From start to finish, Alex was extremely professional, friendly and helpful. He explains everything that is required from you, the client, to capture a suitable image. I was amazed at the detail and how he brought the portrait to life. Absolutely amazing, would recommend to anyone considering commissioning a portrait.”

“Major thanks to Alex for the privilege of owning a piece of art by him, as you can see he is immensely talented and captured everything about the photo perfectly. When I decided to commission this piece, I knew I couldn't just find a traditional pet portrait artist because the landscape is as important or even more so than the subject in this photo. This is my favorite photo of Rylai because it brings me back to our trip to Glacier National Park which is to date still my favorite road trip we've taken together. But also this process has helped to remind me that other people's opinions on your art doesn't matter because it's all about how it makes ME feel. The artwork is special only for me because it brings positive nostalgic feelings about the experience we shared together. It reminds me of my gratitude to have a dog as great as her, that I can bring her to these places trouble free and take these pictures. That I so appreciate the companionship she has provided me and love her deeply.

I sincerely want to thank Alex for the smooth experience in commissioning art from him. His communication was top notch and he provided great photo updates while it was in progress. He cares about your opinions and makes sure that you're completely satisfied with the end result. Also, he provided a thorough and detailed explanation right from the beginning on what to expect and how the process will go. I knew right away that I was working with someone very professional and respectable. I am so in awe of his talent and am beyond grateful I chose him for my first commissioned piece. Thank you so much Alex!”
