So, I officially opened an Etsy store for custom pet portraits, and to celebrate, and I’m going to give one pet portrait away for free! Hooray!
If you would like a custom portrait of your beloved pet (or favorite animal, whatever), all you have to do is visit my store, Feline Pretty, and leave a comment here on my blog. Get yourself two entries if you favorite my store! What a deal!
For those of you who voted that you’d pay a warm beer for a custom portrait, this is your chance to get away with even less than that! I had a hard time figuring out how to price items, but after doing an in-depth market analysis (went to a few other Etsy sites) and testing the client temperature (random survey results), I priced my items around the midpoint for oil paintings. However, as my loyal blog reader, if you’d like to commission a painting, you can use the coupon code LoyalBlogReader to get a 15% discount now through the end of August. I know the portraits seem expensive, but I promise I’m only paying myself like $10 an hour.
Anyway, thanks for letting me post about it here! I’m hoping to do a regular post this week too, although I’m coming down with a cold so I’ll have to see how much my body decides to hate me.
Forgot to mention, I’ll pick and notify a winner on Tuesday, May 27th! So get on it!
I marked as favorite, liked on FB, and tweeted! You are a fabulous artist. Hope it goes well.

I would love to have a portrait of my cat! But I don’t have one yet… Just a dog. XD

This is cool! I favorited your store and one of your paintings, and will rec it to friends on Tumblr! I hope you get tons of commissions, and that I can have one done for my kitties someday. Have you thought about doing prints of some of your comics from this blog?
