The Story Behind Hairy Humans

My journey to founding Hairy Humans was sparked by a realization and a joyful experience. Life, as we all know, can often become overly serious and somewhat mundane. Amidst the hustle and bustle, the laughter and light-hearted moments can sometimes get lost. This realization hit me hard, and I knew I wanted to do something to bring more joy and whimsy into the world.

Then came Ivy, my adorable English Cocker Spaniel puppy. Ivy was a bundle of joy, and her antics were a constant source of laughter and happiness in my life. Watching her play, explore, and even make the silliest of mistakes, I was reminded of the importance of taking life a little less seriously. Every wag of her tail, every curious tilt of her head, seemed to spread cheer.

This experience with Ivy inspired me to start Hairy Humans. I wanted to capture the same joy and playfulness that Ivy brought into my life and share it with others. Our pets have this incredible ability to make us laugh, to comfort us, and to bring out our own playful side. With Hairy Humans, my goal was to immortalize these moments and expressions through art.

 

Understanding Custom Pet Portraits

At Hairy Humans, we believe that custom pet portraits are a fusion of art and emotion. They do more than capture the appearance of your beloved pet; they encapsulate their very soul. This is why we chose digital art as our medium. Digital art allows for limitless creativity and flexibility, enabling us to create whimsical, vibrant portraits that are as unique and playful as your pet.

Size and Framing Considerations

Choosing the perfect frame for your pet's portrait is as essential as the portrait itself. The frame not only protects the artwork but also enhances its appearance, complementing the whimsy and charm of the portrait.

Why Frame Matters

• Aesthetic Enhancement: The right frame can elevate the overall look of the portrait, making it a true piece of art.
• Protection and Preservation: A quality frame protects the artwork from dust, light, and environmental factors, ensuring your portrait remains vibrant for years.
• Complementing Your Decor: Our variety of framing options ensures that your pet's portrait blends seamlessly with your home's style and decor.

Our Framing Options

We offer an array of framing options to suit every taste and interior:

• Classic White: Perfect for modern and minimalist spaces.
• Sleek Black: Offers a bold and sophisticated look.
• Natural Wood: Adds warmth and a rustic charm.
• Rich Dark Wood: Ideal for elegant and traditional decors.

At Hairy Humans, our aim is to deliver not just a portrait, but a complete piece of art that reflects your pet's character and seamlessly integrates into your living space.

Tips for Maintaining the Quality of the Portrait

• Proper Cleaning: Dust the frame and glass gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or water on the portrait itself.

Ideas for Displaying the Portrait in Your Home
