Will your photos work?

If you are unsure about the quality of your photos check the guide here. Not everyone has good quality photos of a pet, due to it passing many years ago, or surprising someone; so please just upload the photos you have and we will be in contact if they are unusable.

Our artists have turned photos of photos from the 1980’s into good quality works, so it is possible, it just takes time and might come at an extra charge.

Van Woof

Van Woof is a small team of highly skilled pet portraitists lead by Tom Miller. Tom expects all of his teams work to be completed to the highest standard in the style of neoclassical masters.

Recommended by the BBC

Van Woof was recently featured on BBC’s The One Show, highlighting the quality of the artwork we produce for customers and the great experience they receive.

Masterpieces by Artists

We pride ourselves in our craftsmanship, and our founder Tom ’s ambition was making original art available to everyone at an affordable price. Through our intensive training program and long serving artists, we have developed a style that has been adopted and is sustained by everyone.

Most of the artists work 8+ hours every day honing their craft, and that shows in the final pieces. We have a strict criteria on multiple elements of the portrait that must past the review process.

Perfect Work Every Time

All of the artwork is quality controlled by our head artist Francis, who has a long history of portraiture. He is arguably the best artist in the custom pet portrait industry, and expects the best from the rest of the team.

We have happily served over 10,000 customers, you can check our Instagram for some of their artworks. If you have any questions feel free to reach out to our team here.
