🎨 About Fun Animal Graphics
Fun Animal Graphics is a U.S.–based boutique studio where photography, humor, and storytelling combine to celebrate animals through art. We specialize in two types of creative products:
- Custom Pet Portraits — personalized art made from your own pet’s photos, blended into imaginative themed scenes.
- Animal Art — original fine-art composites created entirely from photographs personally taken by the artist, ready to order and ship.
Each piece is handcrafted by Kathleen Murphy, combining years of photographic expertise with digital artistry to create unique, story-driven compositions.

🐕 Custom Pet Portraits
Q: What are Custom Pet Portraits?
Custom Pet Portraits transform your pet’s own photos into imaginative artwork. Using digital compositing techniques, we combine your images with themed backgrounds to capture your pet’s spirit, humor, and personality. View your options here.
Q: What product formats are available?
Custom Pet Portraits come in two formats, both ready to hang:
- Canvas Prints: Cotton-polyester blend on FSC-certified wood stretcher bars with a sleek black border.
- Wooden black or white frames (smooth): 20–25 mm thick, 10–14 mm wide, with matching border color and shatterproof plexiglass.
Q: What sizes are available?
All Custom Pet Portraits are square (1 : 1) up to 20″ × 20″. This limit ensures the best image quality based on typical photo resolutions.
Q: Why is there a 20″ × 20″ size limit?
Most customer-supplied images come from smartphones or standard cameras. To preserve sharpness and fine detail, 20″ × 20″ is the optimal maximum print size. Larger requests can be reviewed individually if your image resolution allows.
You can contact us with special requests at funanimalgraphics@gmail.com.
Q: How do I upload photos?
On each Custom Pet Portrait product page, you’ll find upload buttons for Pet 1, Pet 2, and Pet 3. Upload one clear image per pet, include any special notes, and we’ll take it from there.
Q: What kind of photos work best?
Natural lighting, clear eyes, and uncluttered backgrounds make for the best portraits. Crouch to your pet’s eye level and avoid harsh midday sunlight.

Q: Can I include multiple pets?
Yes! Upload one image per pet and we’ll blend them together digitally into a cohesive scene.
Q: Will I receive a proof before printing?
Yes — you’ll receive your initial proof within 3–5 business days. You may request changes, and printing begins only after you approve the final version.

Q: What materials are used for Animal Art?
Animal Art canvases are printed on a cotton-polyester blend stretched over FSC-certified wooden bars. Each piece arrives ready to hang — no framing or assembly required.
Q: Do you keep Animal Art in stock?
No — every piece is produced on demand when you place your order. This ensures consistent quality and responsible production but also means all sales are final once printing begins.
Q: Why is Animal Art less expensive per square inch?
Because each piece is pre-composed (no customization or proofing needed), we can offer larger, gallery-scale art at a lower cost per area.
Q: Can I display multiple pieces together?
Yes — many designs share complementary colors and themes, perfect for gallery walls, triptychs like the 50’s Diner Series, or coordinated montages.
