WHERE IT ALL STARTED
To be completely honest, Tobacco Dogs started because it was a bit of a laugh - a few sketches here and there as a gift for family and friends - and then the commission requests began flooding in.Every now and then, someone will wrinkle their nose and ask, “Dogs smoking? Really?” Well… yeah?What began as a tongue-in-cheek idea has grown into a collection that’s a little irreverent. I don't expect everyone to get it... I don't want everyone to get it. But those who do - welcome!
Is your dog a secret smoker, like mine?
Or maybe you want to hide your dogs nicotine addiction and request a commission without a cigarette? (We get it. Smoking isn't your thing.)
This will cost you more though – an anti-nicotine tax if you will...
(Commissions start at £180 for an A4 size picture.)

HOW DOES IT WORK?
When you request a commission, we will reach out with a few questions to get started.
DOG COMMISSIONS:
I’ll ask you to send photos of your pet — the more, the better, so I can capture their unique features. We’ll also discuss any specific requests, such as whether your pet should be smoking a rollie, straight, pipe, or nothing at all. You might also like to add a collar or name tag for example.CIGARETTE PACKS:
These pieces come in either A4 or A5 - depending on your preference. Together we can discuss how to create the perfect bespoke piece, from choosing your desired cigarette brand to adding personal in jokes, phrases, locations, dates and initials.SMOKE TRAILS:
I create recognisable line art, using a photo where their features are distinct. This captures your pet's unique personality in a simple yet effective way.
I can customise it to your preferences — whether you want a rich Cobalt Blue, a dreamy Wine Red or another colour to perfectly suit your vision. We can also discuss whether you might want your pet to sport sunglasses, a cigarette, or to keep the piece more classic.
