From the Camera Roll to the Gallery Wall
We take thousands of photos of our dogs. They live in our phones, occasionally making it to an Instagram grid, and then they slowly get buried under screenshots and daily life.
But there is always that one photo. The one that perfectly captures their personality. The tilt of their head, the slight smile, the way they look at you. That specific image deserves more than a digital footprint. It deserves to exist in the physical world.
Historically, pet merchandise hasn't exactly aligned with a curated home aesthetic. At Ollie & May, we believe honoring your dog shouldn't mean compromising your interior design. A custom pet portrait should feel like a piece of bespoke art—minimal, premium, and designed to blend seamlessly into your space.
The Anatomy of a Premium Portrait
We built our process entirely around quality and curation. Getting a custom illustration of your dog shouldn't feel like a gamble. It should be a collaborative, high-end design experience.
01 / The Digital Illustration You don't need a professional photoshoot. A standard smartphone photo, taken in natural daylight at eye level, is exactly what we need. Our artists take that everyday image and digitally illustrate it by hand, focusing on the unique details that make your dog who they are.
02 / The Green Light Nothing is left to chance. Before anything goes to the printing studio, a digital proof lands in your inbox. You hold the creative control. The artwork only moves into production once you are completely obsessed with it.
03 / Gallery-Grade Framing A beautiful illustration needs the right finish. We skip the heavy, fragile glass and use crystal-clear Perspex, which drastically reduces glare and ensures the piece is safe to hang anywhere. The artwork is encased in a lightweight wooden frame, offering three finishes to match your home: natural oak, sharp white, or deep charcoal.
The Perfect Gift for the Dog Obsessed
Whether it is a tribute to a childhood dog, a welcome gift for a new puppy, or simply a way to celebrate your current best friend, a framed portrait changes the energy of a room. It is the most thoughtful gift a dog parent can receive—and the easiest way to elevate your own wall space.
Your dog is already the center of your world. It's time to give them the center of the room.
