Phew!
Our second round of Awkward Pet Portraits was
November 9-22.
Our artists are finishing up their portraits
and we should have everyone’s back to them soon!
Originals × Shipping
We’ll be working with the artists to get originals to the shelter and plan to start shipping them out November 25.
If you order an original that was by a digital artist, we’ll get it printed on nice paper and sent off to you.
NOTE: You cannot order only an original. You must order a digital ($20) in order to add on the original to your order ($30).
That means only use this “order original” form if you’ve already received your digital art.
Orders placed for originals WITHOUT a digital order will be refunded (and cancelled).
Let us know if you have questions. 🙂

What are you talking about?
For our 18th birthday back in June 2020, we ran a single-day artwork fundraiser. Folx donated $20, sent us a photo of their pet, and we had a volunteer artist draw (awkwardly) the submitted pet photo.
Apparently The People of the Internet like awkward, and we were super surprised by the outpouring of support. It was a LOT of work. For this second round, instead of a sprint, we decided to run a marathon by extending the event November 9-22.
Thank you to everyone who donated for a portrait AND to our crew of incredible volunteer artists who made this possible!
If you missed out on this round, don’t worry — we’re SURE to do this again!
