How it works

01

Send your photos

Pick a few favourites — the daft ones work best. I paint personality, not passport shots.

02

I paint the thing

Acrylic on canvas, all by hand. Heavy linework, colour cranked up. About 3–4 weeks of proper attention.

03

It lands on your wall

Signed and couriered to your door. You get a one-of-one; your dog gets an ego.

“I actually gasped. Snags looks so regal up on the wall you’d never guess he sleeps upside down in a laundry basket.”
