THE STORIES BEHIND THE CUSTOM ILLUSTRATIONS

Behind every illustration there is a great story. Yours.

I started offering this service by chance two years ago. In the summer of 2015 they wrote to me asking if I did custom illustrations. At that time my world was full of greyhounds born of my imagination, with whom I was beginning to spread acute galguitis through social networks and I had not considered that possibility. As a restless and adventurous soul that I am, I couldn't resist the idea and went on an adventure with my brushes, in this case, my graphic tablet. My first clients were very satisfied and I liked the experience so much that I started offering the service.

Since then my hands have captured 150 illustrations, unique and different, but all of them with something in common: love. Love because the vast majority of commissions are gifts for a very special person and because that furry one that life gives us always appears in them.

For all of it occupy an important place in my work and I get excited like the first day when I get a new order. I love hearing your stories and helping you create that idea that you are passionate about.

Therefore, do not skimp on photos that reflect those aspects that make us unique, such as that smile that melts your soul or that little spot that your furry has in its ear.

But do not think that by asking for photos the illustration will only reflect the content of a photograph. You can appear enjoying your sofa, that afternoon of hiking in the mountains, but also a good cup of tea lost in Wonderland.

In order for you to know the more human side of this service, I got in touch with some of my clients so that they could share their experiences with you.

Rodrigo and Eugenia got married in October of last year and they wanted their guests to have an original and unique gift. They commissioned a custom illustration that featured them along with their precious Mia greyhound. The twist comes when they decided that they would give it to their guests in the form of a delicious snack: a delicious cookie to sweeten the celebration a little more. «Our guests loved them! It was a surprise and they were beautiful» Eugenia told me. Precious is not enough, they were left to eat them! 😉

Esty gave her husband a very special gift on their wedding day. Shortly before the wedding they suffered an irreparable loss, their galga Charlotte passed away and she wanted her little girl to also be present on that special day. He commissioned a custom illustration featuring the united family to surprise her husband and honor Charlotte. «You were completely right, it was exactly what I wanted, to reflect tenderness between the 5, all made pineapple, the 5 unitedEsty wrote to me when she received it.
Vicente and María wanted to give their friend Sara a special gift for her birthday. A few weeks ago their greyhound Pippa had unexpectedly passed away and everyone was still having a hard time. They decided on a custom illustration because they couldn't «think of another gift that wasn't something related to Pippa. We wanted to immortalize its sweetness«. «When we received the illustration we were speechless. When she gave it to our friend, she did not know very well what we were giving her but, when she unwrapped it and saw it, she was very moved.
