Submit clear, high-resolution photos in natural light with your pet facing the camera at eye level. Avoid heavy shadows, extreme angles, or blurry shots.

Barktivist Boutique is a one-woman, art-driven business. I personally create every custom illustration from start to finish to ensure quality and care. Because of this hands-on process, custom artwork has a longer-than-average lead time — but your piece is truly one of a kind.
Finished portraits are delivered as high-resolution digital files via a secure cloud link.
