After a bit of a holiday hiatus and a nice, good stretch for my painting fingers, we’re happy to say that the Pet Shop is back at it, taking custom orders as usual! We’d like to say thank you for being patient and not forgetting about us. While that may sound a wee bit dramatic, […]

Renegade 2.0
You guys, it’s here. The Renegade Holiday Market is in Chicago this weekend! We’re back for round 2 as vendors (you can see how it went down last year, right here), and we’re bursting to get this show on the road, so to speak. For those that have been to the Market in years past, […]
Gift Certificates!
The title of this post should have at least twenty more exclamation points, as the Pet Shop gift certificates have (finally!) arrived, and they’ve been a hard-earned labor of love. We met our personal goal to introduce them to all of you no later than the last week of November, and holy goodness, they’re here! […]
Shop Talk
If you’ve ever been curious about the ins and outs of the Pet Shop – what exactly do I do with my days, and how I juggle paintings with projects with keeping a happy house (note: it’s an illusion, mostly! Not easy, no, no.) – check out my interview with Jane at The Borrowed Abode […]
Painted: Boy and Girl
When I asked Kim, the momma of two bunnies, if I could share Boy and Girl with all you (yup, that’s their now-names), she quickly agreed yes!; they love being the center of attention. Here’s what she had to say: I met Peter, a brown and white Dutch, at a shelter. I was quickly in […]
Painted: Cracker
It’s been a while since we’ve showed off those fine felines behind the Painted scenes, and this buddy hardly needs an introduction (I mean, that face says it all). Meet Cracker: Cracker, a Cornish Rex kiddo, had me at hello. I don’t mean to get all Renee Z on you, but I couldn’t resist the […]
Painted: Lots! And a Big Thank You
This is not our regular cute-pet-parade Painted feature (well, the cute pets hold true), but I sort of just want to stand from the roof of our yellow brick building and shout a big, honkin’ thaaank yoouu! to all of our ahh-mazing supporters of the Pet Shop. These past few months have been a wild […]
Painted: Diesel
Okay, it’s pretty obvious that we have a love for bully breeds, with our Jack being the center of attention at all times. Like, all the time. He steals the show (and our hearts – oh, snap!) even if he’s just sleeping. Sometimes we worry if we have a problem, you know, loving the heck […]
The Sorta New Kids
Sweet jeebs, we’ve gone and opened our Etsy shop. Well, actually, we went and opened the shop over two years ago, and then we casually used our account, slowly but surely, to give moolah to other shops. But one day in February, finally, we listed our stuff in our shop – a motley crew of […]
Painted: Lilah
My favorite part of painting your pets is hearing all about their little (or not so little) personalities. I know I’ve said this before, but man oh man is it so true. From all their bone digging, noise making and feet warming ways, your pets captivate not only you, but us as well. I’ll read […]
