The portraits your dog would choose (if they had opposable thumbs!)
Hi, I’m Helen/Scotty — dog devotee and cartoon illustrator. Dogs have been at the heart
of my life for as long as I can remember, and they inspire everything I do. That’s why I
created my very own style of pet portraits over a decade ago — something fun,
different, and full of personality.
When you commission a portrait, I’ll send you my specially designed personality form.
It’s a chance to tell me all about your dog — their quirks, cheeky habits, favourite toy,
funny incidents that have happened over the years. Those little stories are what bring
your portrait to life and make it as unique as the dog behind it.
Pet Portraits
Fun, vibrant illustrations filled with warmth and individuality — a one-of-a-kind keepsake
that celebrates everything that makes your dog, them.
Rainbow Bridge
Tender, thoughtful tributes that celebrate the life of a much-loved companion. I know
how deeply dogs touch our lives, and each tribute is created with care to help keep their
memory alive.
Family Portraits
Celebrating the human-canine bond of your pack, together in one illustration — whether
that’s just you and your dog or the full family crew. Perfect for gifts or simply to treasure
yourself.
Book Illustrations
Collaborative custom artwork that brings your stories and characters to vivid, joyful life.
Every portrait is drawn by hand with love, humour, and a huge dash of dog-obsessed
passion. My goal? To give you a keepsake that makes you smile every time you see it
— because it’s not just a picture of your dog, it’s their whole character. If you’re looking
for something truly personal, full of warmth and character, you’ve found it at Scotty’s
Cartoons.
