Hello, friends! 👋 It’s Wanissa here. I’m the crafter, illustrator and creator of Dapper Pupper. You can read my recent interview with Frankie Magazine here: https://www.frankie.com.au/article/cute-dog-portraits-and-bespoke-bandanas-with-wanissa-somsuphangsri-564696

You’d be forgiven if all you got out of last year’s lockdowns were some new trackies and contact dermatitis from all that hand-washing, but designer and Letterettes member Wanissa Somsuphangsri started a new business honouring the special pups and felines in our lives.

We’ve discovered some fabulous local businesses through Thrive Northside - including personalized pet portraits by Dapper Pupper 💙

You probably know the drill by now, but here’s a recap of how our pet portraits work. 🐶

Step 1. Upload a photo of your pet. 📷 Whether you have a dog, a cat, a goldfish or an iguana, we want to draw your best buddy!

Step 2. Customise it. ✏️ Does your pet have any quirky habits? A fascination with toilet paper rolls, or taking naps on your socks perhaps? Let us know so we can make your piece even more special.

Step 3. Wait for your artwork! 📧 We will email you the complete digital artwork of your beloved pet within 3-5 days. You will receive an A4 hi-res PDF, ready for you to print and frame up in your favourite frame.

That's all, folks!
