Splendid Beast Outrageous Pet Oil Paintings Soon to Feature Katie & Waffles - Special Offer!

WAFFLES:  Hey Boss! Guess What?!? I'm going to be a Splendid Beast!

KATIE:  Waffles, you're a beast alright... but I wouldn't exactly describe you as *splendid.*  Do you even know what that means???

WAFFLES:  Um, no. But it must be pretty cool. Look! I'm going to be a SPACE CADET! That's like an astronaut, right?


KATIE:  Waffles, you were a space cadet LONG before this blog post.  

WAFFLES:  Does this mean I get to go to the MOON???

KATIE:  One can only hope.





Introducing Splendid Beast


Our friends, Ben & Tom, founded Splendid Beast in 2014 after noticing what they described as a "severe lack of outrageous pet oil paintings on the internet." Art students with a passion for pets, the duo want to make art ownership accessible and affordable. They believe there's something magical about owning a piece of handcrafted artwork. They also believe that most art takes itself too seriously.

Their customized, original oil paintings have a unique and playful quality that celebrates the special beast in all of us and we couldn't be more thrilled to be partnering with them!













Move over Van Gogh, step aside Lichtenstein... Ben & Tom are going to be turning Waffles and Katie into the most splendid of beasts that will soon be gracing the walls of a well-known Minneapolis Townhouse.


How Does It Work?
Pick your Template Design
With 24 unique and awesomely fabulous templates to choose from, there's something for everyone. The costuming and backgrounds are whimsical and cheeky. You can't help but giggle and grin.

Upload a Photo
Smile! You'll need a clear photo of your pet looking straight ahead. The background really doesn't matter because the only part they will be paining is the head and neck.

Antipation
It takes about 4-6 weeks to produce each customized oil painting and ship it to you. Plenty of time to nap, groom, snack... and prepare the purr-fect place to hang your soon-to-be splendid portrait.

Voila!
Enjoy your awesome, 100% original artwork customized to celebrate your special beast.

  16. What a unique idea. Mom says it would be really hard to select. She thought "The Dorothy" was so adorable. We can't wait to see Katie and Waffles in their completed paintings. She thinks she might consider having one of us done to see how it turns out. Mom wants to say thanks for the really sweet things you said in your comment on our post today. She thinks you are truly a special person. XO, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
