Personalised Pet Art: Custom Cat, Dog or Horse Portrait in Any Famous Artwork

This isn’t just a pet portrait — it’s your pet, perfectly blended into a masterpiece.

Choose any artwork you love, upload a photo of your pet, and we’ll add them into the scene so it looks like they were always meant to be there. The goal isn’t a cheesy cut-out — it’s a believable, beautifully integrated piece of art that makes people look twice and smile.

Now’s your chance to have your cat padding over one of Monet’s bridges, your dog lounging in the background of a Klimt painting, or your horse standing proudly in one of Turner’s romantic fields.

Take a look at the examples in the product gallery — they’re genuinely magical.

Hand-crafted editing that respects the original artwork

Every piece is made by hand by our design team. We carefully match lighting, colour, texture, and brushwork so your pet fits the artwork’s style and atmosphere. If the original is painterly, your pet will feel painterly. If it’s delicate and detailed, we’ll keep it delicate and detailed.

We can also adjust placement, scale, and perspective so it feels natural — like your pet belongs in that world.

Your pet, your way

You’re in control of the vibe. You can keep it subtle (a pet quietly in the background), or make it the star of the scene. Options include:

• Choose any artwork (or ask us for recommendations)
• Upload a photo of your pet (cat, dog, horse — anything you love)
• Select where they should appear in the scene (or let us suggest the best placement)
• Add a custom title, date, dedication, or short inscription (optional)
• Request small tweaks: collar removal, background simplification, gentle colour matching, etc.

If you have a specific idea (“make them look like they’re mid-stride”, “place them near the water”, “make it feel calm and cozy”), tell us — we’ll bring it to life.

Museum-quality print, made to order

Your finished artwork is printed as a museum-quality fine art print on acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Each piece is made to order by The Unique Maps Co., available in a wide range of sizes — from a small, charming gift print to a dramatic statement piece.

Optional framing is available in complementary finishes, ready to hang.

A truly unforgettable gift for pet lovers

This is one of those gifts that feels instantly personal — the kind people keep forever.

Perfect for:

• Birthdays
• Christmas
• Anniversaries
• Mother’s Day / Father’s Day
• Housewarmings
• “Just because” gifts for someone who adores their pet
• Memorial pieces (a beautiful way to remember a beloved companion)

If you’re buying for someone who “has everything”, this is one of the rare gifts that genuinely surprises them.

After you order

Within 2–3 days, we’ll send you a digital draft preview of your personalised artwork. You can request edits — placement, size, colour balance, subtlety — and we won’t print anything until you’re 100% happy.

If you’re not sure which artwork will work best, just message us with a few ideas (or tell us the vibe you want), and we’ll suggest options that suit your pet and your home.

This will probably be the most talked-about print on your wall.
(And yes — it’s completely acceptable to order one for yourself, too.)

This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

For most orders, delivery time is about 3 working days. Personalised and customised products take longer, as I have to do the personalisation and send it to you for approval, which usually takes 1 or 2 days.

Please note that very large framed orders usually take longer to make and deliver. 

If you need your order to arrive by a certain date, please contact me before you order so that we can find the best way of making sure you get your order in time.

I print and frame maps and artwork in 23 countries around the world. This means your order will be made locally, which cuts down on delivery time and ensures that it won't be damaged during delivery. You'll never pay customs or import duty, and we'll put less CO2 into the air.

All of my maps and art prints are well packaged and sent in a rugged tube if unframed, or surrounded by foam if framed.

I try to send out all orders within 1 or 2 days of receiving your order, though some products (like face masks, mugs and tote bags) can take longer to make.

If you select Express Delivery at checkout your order we will prioritise your order and send it out by 1-day courier (Fedex, DHL, UPS, Parcelforce).

Next Day delivery is also available in some countries (US, UK, Singapore, UAE) but please try to order early in the day so that we can get it sent out on time.

My standard frame is a gallery style black ash hardwood frame. It is simple and quite modern looking. My standard frame is around 20mm (0.8in) wide.

I use super-clear acrylic (perspex/acrylite) for the frame glass. It's lighter and safer than glass - and it looks better, as the reflectivity is lower.

Six standard frame colours are available for free (black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white and antique gold). Custom framing and mounting/matting is available if you're looking for something else.

Most maps, art and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte (not shiny) cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced box wood frame, and then 'float' the piece within a wood frame. The end result is quite beautiful, and there's no glazing to get in the way.

All frames are provided "ready to hang", with either a string or brackets on the back. Very large frames will have heavy duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.

See some examples of my framed maps and framed canvas maps.

Alternatively, I can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag and other materials.

If you want to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read my size guide first.

My maps are extremely high quality reproductions of original maps.

I source original, rare maps from libraries, auction houses and private collections around the world, restore them at my London workshop, and then use specialist giclée inks and printers to create beautiful maps that look even better than the original.

My maps are printed on acid-free archival matte (not glossy) paper that feels very high quality and almost like card. In technical terms the paper weight/thickness is 10mil/200gsm. It's perfect for framing.

I print with Epson ultrachrome giclée UV fade resistant pigment inks - some of the best inks you can find.

I can also make maps on canvas, cotton rag and other exotic materials.

Map personalisation

If you're looking for the perfect anniversary or housewarming gift, I can personalise your map to make it truly unique. For example, I can add a short message, or highlight an important location, or add your family's coat of arms.

The options are almost infinite. Please see my map personalisation page for some wonderful examples of what's possible.

To order a personalised map, select "personalise your map" before adding it to your basket.

Get in touch if you're looking for more complex customisations and personalisations.

Map ageing

I have been asked hundreds of times over the years by customers if they could buy a map that looks even older.

Well, now you can, by selecting Aged before you add a map to your basket.

All the product photos you see on this page show the map in its Original form. This is what the map looks like today.

If you select Aged, I will age your map by hand, using a special and unique process developed through years of studying old maps, talking to researchers to understand the chemistry of aging paper, and of course... lots of practice!

If you're unsure, stick to the Original colour of the map. If you want something a bit darker and older looking, go for Aged.

See some amazing examples of Aged maps.

If you are not happy with your order for any reason, contact me and I'll get it fixed ASAP, free of charge. Please see my returns and refund policy for more information.

I am very confident you will like your restored map or art print. I have been doing this since 1984. I'm a 5-star Etsy seller. I have sold tens of thousands of maps and art prints and have over 5,000 real 5-star reviews. My work has been featured in interior design magazines, on the BBC, and on the walls of dozens of 5-star hotels.

I use a unique process to restore maps and artwork that is massively time consuming and labour intensive. Hunting down the original maps and illustrations can take months. I use state of the art and eye-wateringly expensive technology to scan and restore them. As a result, I guarantee my maps and art prints are a cut above the rest. I stand by my products and will always make sure you're 100% happy with what you receive.

Almost all of my maps and art prints look amazing at large sizes (200cm, 6.5ft+) and I can frame and deliver them to you as well, via special oversized courier. Contact me to discuss your specific needs.
