Recently I began to make pet portraits on framed ceramic tiles using Cafepress' print on demand service. I transform a photo using a graphics program to resemble a traditional painting similar to my watercolor dog portraits.
As you can see in the example below, it's not just a copy of a photo but an artistically composed portrait of the pet.
