Drinks Series Pet Portraits: Glasgow-based Artist Celebrates Pets with Humour and Personality
As a pet portrait artist based in Glasgow and working with clients across Scotland and the UK, I love capturing the quirks and personalities of every pet I draw.
Some portraits are quiet and elegant, others are full of humour and storytelling, like my Drinks Series prints.
These playful illustrations started as a little experiment: could I combine a pet’s personality with humour? The answer is yes!
From a Jack Russell holding a pint of Tennents to a sassy ginger cat perched beside a bottle of Bucky, each art print celebrates pets in a way that is fun, heartfelt, and completely unique.
Why the Drinks Series is Special
What I love about the Drinks Series is that it is not just about the drinks, it is about celebrating personality.
When I draw these prints, I think about how the animal moves, the expressions they make, and the little moments that make them, them.
Every line is hand drawn with pastel pencils and graphite, slowly layered to capture texture and depth. It is a slow, meditative process, and the result is a piece of art that feels alive.
Engaging with Pet Lovers Across Scotland
Moments like this remind me why I love what I do.
It's not just about making beautiful art, it is about building a little community of pet lovers who enjoy seeing their animals celebrated in a unique way.
Behind the Scenes: How I Capture Personality in Every Print
Creating a Drinks Series print is not just choosing a drink and adding a pet.
I take time to study photos, notice quirks, and add small storytelling touches. Sometimes that is a Glasgow reference, a street I walk past, a market detail, and sometimes it is a subtle nod to the pet’s character.
These are hand drawn pet portraits designed to be keepsakes that bring joy, humour, and warmth into a home. Whether it is for a gift, a memorial, or simply celebrating a beloved pet, each print is completely bespoke.
