Questions

## Good to know

What is a dark academia pet portrait?

It’s a portrait of your pet in the dark academia look: old books, dark wood, low light and a scholarly mood. Your cat or dog is illustrated into the scene from your photo, so they become part of the library.

Is there a dark academia portrait for dogs?

Yes. The Bookmark comes in a cat version and a dog version. In the dog version, your dog is asleep on an open book beside the fire.

Do you have dark academia art that isn’t a pet portrait?

Yes. Wick & Wane is our moody vintage style Halloween collection: candlelight, a haunted mirror and moths at the flame. It sits naturally on a dark academia shelf, needs no photo and starts at $9.

How much does a dark academia pet portrait cost?

$19 for the high-resolution digital file, fine art prints from $59 and canvases from $95, in 8" × 10", 11" × 14", 16" × 20" and 24" × 30", with shipping included.
