Do love love that pet too much? Actually, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that! Pets are noble, loyal creatures and deserve to be appreciated and remembered. Let Neil Shaw help you honor your "best friend" by having a portrait done.

Neil Shaw is a former Deputy Sheriff and Police Sketch Artist. But prior to that, Neil was a humane officer with Monterey County SPCA in California. He specialized in humane investigations and marine mammal and wildlife rescue. So he has always had a certain soft spot for critters of all species. Neil is also a proud "Schnauzer-dad" and believes that pets are God-given. That goes for all animals for that matter.

Neil Shaw accepts both pencil and oil portrait commissions. The client and he commonly consult over the phone. The client typically e-mails the photos and Neil provides them with a rough draft. Once the draft is approved, Neil continues with the pencil or oil portrait, while keeping in touch with the client, sending them periodic photo updates The end result is often astonishing (see testimonies). Neil then ships the portrait to his client.

Once Neil is finished with your portrait, he can digitally capture and archive the image for Giclee prints. Then, archival fine art prints can be mailed to friends and family as gifts for any occasion. Neil Shaw will send out these prints with a personal note from you. All prints are signed by Neil, complete with a signed certificate of authenticity.

This is a fun and enjoyable process, especially when surprising someone! Neil keeps the experience fun. He will not settle until you are completely satisfied. Neil states, "It's going to be my work on their wall, and my name on that work for years to come. Every time they look at it, I want them to feel good!" Contact Neil Shaw Collection for a free quote.
