How It Works

Our Process: From design to Life-Size Statue

To make sure every custom sculpture looks amazing, we follow a careful step-by-step process for every piece we create. We never mass-produce our work. We make strong, beautiful statues built to last.

Stage 1: Booking Your Spot

Because we only take a few orders each month to keep our quality high, your project begins by locking in a studio slot.

  • The Deposit: A $400 non-refundable fee sets aside materials for your statue and secures your spot on our schedule.
  • The Calendar: Choose your preferred month to start your project to match our current studio openings.

Stage 2: Talking Design

Once your spot is secure, our lead artist will contact you to plan the details of your piece.

  • The Shape: You will choose a breed and pose from our current Archive lineup. 
  • The Art Style: Choose your style—we can paint your piece to be realistic or cartoony, or it can look like bold pop art, or an earthy element style / faux concrete.
  • Your Photos: We will send you a safe link to upload clear pictures of your pet from different sides so we can match every detail perfectly.

Stage 3: Making the Art

This is where the heavy hands-on work happens right here in our San Francisco Bay Area studio.

  • Building the Base: We start creating the shape and strong form of your custom statue.
  • Hand-Sanding: The raw shape goes through hours of heavy hand-sanding and smoothing to create a perfect canvas for our paint.
  • Hand-Painting: Our artists spend 10 to 20+ hours painting the details of your pet by hand.
  • Picture Updates: We send you pictures of the piece while we work so you can see it come to life and make sure it looks just right.

Stage 4: Finishing and Delivery

  • The Final Touch: Once you love the look, we add a strong protective coat to keep the colors safe forever.
  • Final Bill: The rest of the project payment is taken care of.
  • Safe Shipping: Your statue is carefully packed in strong boxes and fully insured. We ship it right to your door or set up a local Bay Area pickup so it arrives safely at your home.
