Custom Pet Portraits on Sneakers and Wallets
I take your pet's personality and bring it to life on your favorite gear. Whether it is a Goldendoodle's curls or a Husky's intense gaze, let's make your kicks or wallet truly one-of-a-kind.
This video shows the process of painting two very good boys, Bailey and Caesar, on a single Goyard card holder. It's a great way to keep your furry family with you.
These custom Chuck 70s feature two huskies, Loki and Blue. I painted each dog on one shoe, capturing their distinct personalities for a truly personal pair of kicks.
This is the other side of the custom Goyard card holder, featuring a portrait of Caesar the Golden Retriever. Each side is a tribute to a different furry friend.
Here’s how I work from a reference photo to capture a pet's likeness. This video shows the painting process for these custom husky Converse, from the initial sketch to the final detailed portrait.
Another look at the Loki and Blue custom Chucks. I use high-quality fabric paints and a protective finisher so the artwork stays vibrant, even on a pair of everyday sneakers.
About Custom Pet Portraits
Getting a realistic portrait onto a tiny cardholder or a canvas sneaker surface takes more than just paint. I start by chemically deglazing the leather to ensure the art actually sticks, then use size 000 brushes for the fine fur textures, and finally seal everything with a professional matte finisher so you can carry your pet with you everywhere without the art wearing off.
It starts with a photo you send over. Whether it is a Goldendoodle's curls or the intense stare of a Husky, my goal is to capture the personality, not just the features. I work primarily with Angelus leather acrylics because they stay flexible, which is non-negotiable if you plan on actually using your bag or wallet.
For cardholders and wallets, I use size 000 detailing brushes to get those tiny fur strokes right. If it is a canvas sneaker, like a pair of Chuck 70s, the process involves a different kind of layering to ensure the fabric does not soak up all the pigment. Everything gets a heavy-duty, industrial-grade finisher—I use Liquid Kicks—that protects the art from daily scratches and pocket friction.
I ship these across India from my studio in Hyderabad. If you have a leather bag, a wallet, or a pair of kicks that you want to personalize, send me a message with a high-quality photo of your pet. We will figure out the best placement, sometimes a central panel, sometimes something more subtle, and take it from there.
