Hi!
Hi, I’m the artist behind these wonderfully
weird pet portraits.
I turn your adorable pets into hilariously
“ugly” works of art — exaggerated, charming, and full of personality. What
started as a silly experiment turned into a full-blown passion (and somehow, a
business) when people couldn’t stop laughing... and then ordering!
Each portrait is hand-drawn with love, humor, and just the right amount of artistic mischief. Whether your dog has a lopsided grin or your cat constantly looks like it’s judging humanity, I’m here to celebrate the quirks that make your pet one-of-a-kind.

This isn’t your average pet portrait shop. You won’t find regal oil paintings or hyper-realistic renderings here. Instead, you’ll get something that makes you and everyone else do a double take — and probably laugh out loud.
Over the years, thousands of pet lovers (and their pets) have joined the ugly portrait revolution. From surprise gifts to memorials to viral social media posts, these portraits have become a weirdly beautiful way to honor the pets we love.
Thanks for stopping by — and for letting me draw your weird little gremlin.
Follow me on Instagram @ashopdowntown where I spotlight a different animal shelter or rescue by drawing ugly portraits of adoptable pets looking for a home. It’s a way to use these portraits to raise awareness, sharing laughs, and hopefully helping more pets get adopted.
Let’s make something ugly together.
