Inside every copy

No two pages alike

One photograph, four hundred pages, and not one of them repeats. Every left-hand page draws your subject into a scene of its own, and every right-hand page answers it with a line written for that scene alone. Turn any page and it is a new one.

  • A black-and-white page: a French bulldog in a captain's coat and peaked cap at the wooden wheel of a ship, a stormy sea behind it

    “Captain of the sofa. On weekends, the sea.”

    At the helm
  • A black-and-white page: the same French bulldog in a tweed coat and scarf at a round marble café table on a city street at night, an espresso and a croissant in front of it

    “One espresso, one croissant. I do not share either.”

    The café
  • A black-and-white page: the same French bulldog in a paint-spattered smock and beret on a stool beside an easel, a brush in its paw, jars of brushes behind

    “Every masterpiece begins with a long nap.”

    The studio
  • A black-and-white page: the same French bulldog in a quilted smoking jacket and round spectacles in a leather wing chair by a lit stone fireplace, a china teacup in its paw

    “I do not beg. I simply wait where the treats are.”

    By the fire

Four pages from one French bulldog. The scenes and lines in yours are made for your subject.

    A portrait on the left, a line on the right

    Four hundred pages, every one of them in black and white: your subject drawn into a new scene on each left-hand page, a short line set in white capitals on the black page facing it.

looks so expensive

A child lying on a beige sofa reading the open book, a line in white capitals on the black page beside a French bulldog portrait

The size surprised me in the best way. It feels like one of those designer coffee table books and the black and white cover looks so good in our living room.

actually obsessed

The black book with PICKLE on its cover, a bulldog in a cape, lying on a bed by a salt lamp, the real bulldog peering in at the corner

This is SO much nicer in person. The book is huge, heavy and the pages feel really premium. Everyone picks it up when they come over.

perfect coffee table book

I wanted something simple but still special for the coffee table and this is exactly it. The dog photography is beautiful and it looks genuinely luxe.

Before you upload

Questions
readers ask

What photo should I send?

One photo of the subject on its own, the face sharp and well lit, filling most of the frame. For a pet, head and shoulders looking at the camera; for two people, close together and facing the camera. If something in the photo should not be in the book, say so in the AI touch box before you create the design.

What is on the pages?

400 pages, every one of them in black and white. Each left-hand page carries your subject drawn into a new scene; the black page facing it carries a short line in white capitals. The cover carries your subject and the title you give it.

How big is it?

One size: 11.3 × 14.5 in (28.7 × 36.8 cm), nearly A3, noticeably larger than a standard book. The price is on the product page and in the studio before you pay.

What goes on the cover?

Your title, in white capitals: a name, a place, a year, a word, up to 20 characters. It is the one thing you must type; the design is drawn around it. If it comes back with something you did not ask for, change it and draw it again. It stays free until you approve one.

Can I send it as a gift?

Yes, and most of them leave as one. Put their address at checkout and it goes straight to them, shipping included. For the holidays, checkout shows the estimated delivery date for that address before you pay, so you can see it arrives in time.

How do I look after it?

Keep it flat or standing with support, away from damp and strong direct sun. Wipe the cover with a dry, soft cloth.
