Fine art artist Yi Pei Loh is creating wonderful and affordable art for your beloved pets. Yi Pei has launched a crowdfunding project on Kickstarter which allows you to commission an original, unique and private artwork of pet portrait for yourself and your beloved ones from as low as AUD 25 (about USD 17).
Yi Pei primarily works on imaginary subjects but he found himself enjoys doing realistic artwork occasionally to sharpen his observation and have fun producing light-hearted art. While he started doing pet portrait as a commission from his friend, it essentially became one of the themes that he loves. His pet drawings are regarded as lively, touching and warm.
For this campaign, Make 100: Original Pet Portraits which runs until 31 Jan 2020, Yi Pei is offering three different rewards for potential backers. First, comes at a price of AUD 25, a drawing of pigment ink pen and lightly colored with colored pencil. Followed by soft pastel drawing on 350gsm Canson Mi-Teintes paper which costs AUD 115 (about USD 80) or the aforementioned two altogether for AUD 130 (about USD 90). All the work will be hand-drawn with care and treated with love and sincerity. For shipping, your precious artwork will be carefully packed along with hard surface to prevent bending and will be water-proofed.
Send a clear photograph of your (or someone else’s) pet to the artist. If you have no idea or no pet and you want to collect a piece of original artwork, pledge and Yi Pei will send you a surprise.
Yi Pei, originally from Malaysian, completed Bachelor of Fine Arts (Painting) in Beijing Tsinghua University and graduated from the University of Melbourne with a master degree in Art Curatorship. The following is Yi Pei’s contact info:
