As a new(ish) homeowner, I’m so obsessed with interior design. So, I’m always browsing the internet for the latest trends and pieces to always keep my home welcoming.
My latest project is my upstairs hallway. Right now there is nothing on the wall and I’m not the type to have completely empty walls. I didn’t want to overfill but I wanted something that would just stand out.
Unlike my other projects, I knew exactly the type of artwork I wanted in that spot, a pet portrait. Last year my husband and I adopted a Shepard/Border Collie from a rescue center. His name is Rocky and he’s so cute. Everyone tells us that he could be a model so we were like, “Why not get a pet portrait… he looks that good!”
So my search began and I was determined. That’s when I came across Iconic Paw. What I loved about them was the variety of pet portraits and styles they offered! They also offer portraits of pets and their owners, hoomans as they call it. Honestly, if you just want one of yourself (hooman), they can make it happen. That's what our director Felicia did. She chose to become a queen. Look at how awesome it came out! Yes, she does have this hanging in her home for everyone to see.
How it works
It’s super easy to get started.
1. Pick your template
Browse their website for the style of pet portrait that you’re interested in. Their styles range from super hero’s, kings and queens, clowns, wizards, Vikings, and my favorite the modern styles. For hoomans they offer similar templates as well. I chose to go for a modern style for my boy Rocky.
2. Upload Image
Upload one image per person/hooman that is going to be in the final canvas. They'll let you know if the picture is good to proceed. This is the picture I chose.
3. Framing & Size
There are two framing options for your Pet or Hooman Portrait; Canvas or Framed Canvas. Then choose between the four sizes they have to offer, 8" x 10", 12" x 18", 16" x 24" or 24" x 32". I ended up going with the framed 16" x 24" canvas.
4. Check Out & Wait For Your Portrait
Make sure to use our discount code, AMBASSADOR, to receive 20% off the total price of your order. Now you wait! Iconic Paw kept me in the loop during the entire process.

Just shoot their customer service an email and they'll be able to help you right away.
My Pet Portrait
I was so excited when I received my Pet Portrait in the mail and so was Rocky! They did a great job is securing the package to make sure it didn't come damaged. It was double wrapped!
Ok, now it's time to show you my Pet Portrait.
