How it works
Two studios behind one idea — one’s instant, one’s a proper commission.
- 1Upload your photo, pick your style where there’s a choice, and note any distinguishing features you’d like us to catch.
- 2Our system renders three versions for you to choose from — there and then. If we’re busy, we’ll take your email and send your three the moment they’re ready.
- 3Pick your favourite, add a name or caption to the mug if you like (optional), and order — no approval needed.
- 1Upload your photo, then choose your scene, shoot angle, driver or rider, colours and special features.
- 2We render it our side and keep refining until we’re happy with it.
- 3We email you proofs to approve before anything’s pressed — and if you’re not happy, your money back.
Choose your subject
Six studios, one idea — the people you love, your dog, cat, horse, car or bike, rendered from your own photo.
Someone you love, rendered as a warm painterly caricature - in rich colour or classic pencil sketch. Add a caption if you fancy one.
Draw a caricature →
Your best friend as a painterly portrait - from the wonkiest rescue to the poshest pedigree. Add their name if you like.
Draw my dog →
Your favourite feline, rendered into a beautiful portrait - every whisker, every bit of attitude, kept intact.
Draw my cat →
Your horse or pony captured as a beautiful portrait - a heartfelt gift for the equestrian in your life.
Draw my horse →
Your car turned into a bespoke, rendered portrait - your scene, your plate, your driver, from any photo.
Draw my car →
Your motorbike, rendered from your favourite photo - faithful to the shape, the badges and the colour that make it yours.
Draw my bike →These six cover most requests — but if there’s a subject you’d love to see turned into a portrait, we’re always adding new ones. Every range we’ve made started because someone asked.
Let us know →Art, not a filter
Your portrait is created by our own bespoke rendering studio, and audited for quality by our system before it ever reaches you — with every Rolling Render (car & bike) reviewed by a real person too. A considered portrait, faithful to what makes your subject theirs, and yours to keep for good.
Questions, answered
Is it a photo printed on a mug?
No - it’s a digitally rendered painterly portrait, a real piece of artwork rather than a photo or a filter. For Mugshot caricatures and pet portraits (Pawtrait, Purrtrait, Ponytrait), the system self-audits every result before it’s shown to you. For Rolling Render car and bike portraits, we fully audit each one ourselves - often adjusting it by hand - before sending your proofs to approve.
What photo works best?
A clear, well-lit photo with your subject filling most of the frame - head-and-shoulders for people, front-on for pets, a three-quarter view for cars and bikes. Avoid heavy filters. If yours isn’t quite right, we’ll tell you before we start.
Do I get to choose before it’s printed?
Yes - in two ways. Mugshot caricatures and pet portraits (Pawtrait, Purrtrait, Ponytrait) give you three versions to choose from instantly, with no approval step and no waiting. Rolling Render car and bike portraits are a bigger commission: you choose the scene, angle, driver and details, we render and perfect it our side, then email you proofs to approve - with a full money-back guarantee if you’re not happy.
How much is it, and how fast?
Caricatures and pet portraits from £14.99; car and bike portraits from £25.99. Handpressed in our Sussex studio on premium stock and dispatched within a couple of working days, in smash-proof packaging.
Can I have it in black and white?
The Mugshot caricature comes in two styles - a warm colour caricature or a classic pencil sketch - and you choose your style before you upload. Pet, car and bike portraits are rendered in full colour.
