Bunny Duffy is a talented artist whose work is gaining reputation as a skilful and humorous portrayal of our nearest and dearest family members.... our pets.

Bunnys work is usually in inks but she does do some work in soft pencil. She uses photographs and anecdotes from owners to give her an insight into a pets character and then works straight on the final illustration, amazingly she rarely needs to do preparatory sketches.

You can comission your own cartoon original of your pet, drawn by Bunny from your own photos.

Or as in this case titled Loppy Lugs an illustration for a childs book about a puppy whose ears wouldn't stand up.

Below is one of Bunny's most recent comissions of Rus the Collie and one of the photographs supplied by Rus's owner for the comission. Needless to say Rus's obsession is more for balls than sheep.

The illustrations are done in inks rather than watercolour, in life this gives them a bright glossy feel .

Pictures are 10 x 14 inches and an original will cost £20.00 plus postage and packaging which for the UK including recorded delivery will cost an additional £2.50 For larger comissions please contact Bunny direct for prices. Should you live outside the UK the cost of postage will vary according to your location.

You will need to supply good quality photographs of your pet from a number of different angles plus some anecdoctes about your pet to give Bunny an idea of how to portray your pets character.

Bunny was raised with pretty well every animal imaginable - a right old menagerie,

She writes "Animals are still a major part of my life and since I was little I can remember being amazed by nature - There were always animals around, and injured waifs and strays - so animals have always been a very important part of my life. I couldn't be without dogs though. As for my art side - My grandfather was a brilliant artist and did everything from watercolours to amazing paper sculptures and I suppose I just got it from him. I have never been to art college , it is just something I have done since I was little and been encouraged to do - my poor mum's fridge was always plastered in pictures! It's something I just love to do.".................................

Bunny's dogs Flea and Brick

Flea was sadly put to sleep earlier this year at a young age due to a progressive wasting disease. A dog in a million whose life was too short but who lives on in all those who knew her.
