17 Portraits Later: How Timmy Stole the Show

PAWTRAIT of the month : TIMMY

Timmy was chosen not only because she was voted for on my Instagram but also because she truly stands out as one of the most unique pieces I created this month (August 2024).

I first met Timmy on PAWTRAIT DAY in Nagare Coffee, London, a monthly PAWTRAIT event for dog + coffee lovers. I had already drawn a bunch of skinny and long ones, fluffy and scruffy ones, and Timmy was actually my 18th portrait of the day.

Now, you can imagine, by that point, I wasn’t exactly in top form—I was a bit hungry and on my third flat white of the day. But when Timmy’s mom showed me her pictures and her dog’s page, my eyes lit up—seriously, I mean really wide. I was instantly pumped to start drawing.

I’ve drawn a lot of dogs, and they’re all special, but Timmy? Timmy is extraordinary. Sometimes, as an artist, you come across something that just hits different, that brings out a whole new energy in your work. Timmy was definitely one of those.
