Dog art and dog prints from your photo

A phone photo of a cavoodle beside the dog print made from it

Generic dog art shows a dog. Your print shows your dog: the curly ears, the white blaze, the slightly crooked grin. Any breed works, and mixed breeds too, because we draw from your photo, not a template.

Pick a photo taken at your dog's eye level, with both eyes in view. If you are not sure it is good enough, upload it anyway and we will tell you on the proof.

A cat portrait from your photo

Cat portrait print of a tabby cat on a sky blue background in an oak frame

Cats rarely sit still for a photo, so a clear phone shot from the couch is fine. The modern style on sky blue or sand suits tabbies and gingers, and charcoal makes white and grey coats stand out.

Rabbits, horses and birds work too, as long as the photo is clear.

  • Sage
  • Blush pink
  • Sky blue
  • Sand
  • Cream
  • Charcoal

Personalised dog gifts

Two-dog print of a cavoodle and a border collie on a sand background

For the friend who shows you their dog before their holiday photos. Add the dog's name above the portrait, or put two dogs side by side from two separate photos.

Short on time, or the photo is on their phone? A gift certificate lets them choose the style and send the photo themselves.

Personalised pet gifts

Royal pet portrait canvas of a cavoodle in a natural wood floating frame

Birthdays, Christmas, a new puppy or kitten, or a first home with a pet. The royal style gets the laugh. The modern and line art styles are the ones people keep on the wall for years.

For Christmas, order by late November so there is time for the proof and the print.

Pet memorial gifts

A print can be a gentle way to remember a pet who has died. Tick "This is a memorial portrait" on the product page, add their name and dates, and choose a soft halo if you like; we place the dates under the portrait. Older or blurry photos often still work, and we will tell you on the proof if one does not.

If you would like a portrait painted by hand in oils, see our pet memorial portraits.

Questions people ask

Are pet prints hand-painted?

No. Your pet is illustrated from your photo and printed on canvas or archival matte paper. For a portrait painted by hand in oils, see our oil painting portrait from your photo.

Which style should I choose?

Modern on colour (A) is the most popular gift. Fine-art (B) suits a living room with other art. Royal (C) is the funny one. Line art (D) suits a calm, modern room. All four cost the same.

Can I get dog line art of my own dog?

Yes. Choose style D. We draw your dog from your photo as a single-line ink drawing and print it on canvas or paper.

What photo works best?

A clear, well-lit photo taken at your pet's eye level, with both eyes and the shape of the ears in view. Phone photos are fine. If you are unsure, upload it anyway and we will tell you on the proof.

Can I order now and send the photo later?

Yes. Tick "I'll email my photo later" on the product page, then email the photo to info@directartaustralia.com.au with your order number. We start as soon as it arrives. It suits a gift when the photo is on someone else's phone.

Can I see it before it is printed?

Yes. We email a free proof within 2 business days. Changes are free, and nothing is printed until you approve it.

Can you put two or three pets in one print?

Yes, up to three. Send a separate photo of each pet. Each extra pet adds $30.

How long does delivery take?

10 to 14 days after you approve your proof, with free delivery anywhere in Australia. See dispatch and delivery.

What if I am not happy with it?

Every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee, as well as your rights under the Australian Consumer Law consumer guarantees.

Can I use a photo a professional photographer took?

Only with their permission, because the photographer usually owns the copyright. The Attorney-General's Department copyright guide explains who owns a photo. Your own phone photos are always fine.
