Wow—Comic Con was incredible! Thank you to everyone who stopped by my table, and chatted with me about your pets. I was genuinely blown away by the kind words, interest, and excitement around my work. It meant the world to me!

Every year, I try to improve my table setup, and this time, I finally feel like I achieved the look and feel I’ve been aiming for. It felt right. Connecting with so many of you gave me a renewed sense of purpose and joy in my art.

Many of you asked about custom pet portraits—and I’m thrilled to say that commissions are now officially open! I have wanted to do this for a long time, and am finally in a position to do it. I will give you a brief breakdown, but if you have any interest in a commission, please head over to our commissions page for all the information.


What’s Available?

A cute, custom digital illustration of your pet in my cartoon style—fun, expressive, and full of personality. Great for gifts, memorials, or just celebrating your furry best friend.

💌 How It Works
  1. Fill out the commission request form.
  2. I’ll email you with a quote based on your request.
  3. Once you accept the quote, I’ll send you an invoice.
  4. Full payment upfront secures your booking.
  5. Final artwork will be sent as high-quality digital files.
🚨 A Quick Heads-Up!

I’ll be out of office and offline until 26 May 2025.
I’ll begin replying to commission requests from 28 May, and commission slots officially open for June 2025.

Feel free to send in your request anytime—you’ll be first in line when I’m back!


Once again, thank you for making this year’s Comic Con such a memorable one. Your support keeps me going, especially during the times I doubt myself. I’m so excited for what’s next—from new comics, to pet portrait commissions, to finally finishing Episode 1 of the animation I have been working on.

If you picked up a copy of my book, Welcome Home Benjy, I hope it brings you lots of smiles. And if we chatted about a custom pet portrait, I have sent out all the emails, and hope to hear from you soon.

Until then, thank you for being here.

I post new episodes as often as I can (always a Monday), so make sure to check the website regularly, or you can follow Benjy’s adventures on the following platforms:
