BlogPaws – 40+ Digital Pet Portraits in 3 Days!

Digital Pet Portrait by BZTAT

I have been back home from BlogPaws, the preeminent conference for pet bloggers and enthusiasts, for a few days. I am still on a high, though. Not only did I have fun at the conference creating digital pet portraits for conference participants, I met some of the most wonderful pets and pet people ever!

Creating 40 digital pet portraits (which actually turned out to be 43) in such a short amount of time was not all that difficult, however, the logistics of keeping track of which portrait went to which person was a bit of a challenge. Resizing them for web use has been another challenge. Nonetheless, I managed to get it done, and I am thrilled with the result. You can see all of the portraits in the slideshow below.

I want to thank BlogPaws for bringing me to the conference to create the portraits. I am proud to say that I have been to every single one of the BlogPaws conferences, and I am very grateful for the relationship that we have built over the years. We are already looking to 2015 to do another fun and creative activity in Nashville, TN!

Digital Pet Portraits are quite popular, and despite being technologically created, they are each very unique. I use a variety of ipad apps and filters with each image to layer in a depth of color and texture. these add to the personality of the animal to create a very special artwork. They are also more economical for people who are budget conscious. I am also offering an option where I will send you the digital file where you can do the printing yourself! Learn more about ordering a portrait or YOUR pet here.

Here they are: The BlogPaws 40!

Who wants a PAWtrait?

Contemporary Digital Pet Portrait By BZTAT

I am in sunny Las Vegas at the annual BlogPaws conference, and I have a really fun job this year. Throughout the conference, I will be creating Contemporary Custom Digital Pet Portraits for 40 lucky conference participants!

Are you at BlogPaws? if so, register for the random drawing and you maybe chosen to receive a BZTAT PAWtrait of your pet! If your pet is with you at the conference, I will take a photo to use for the portrait. If you left your pet at home, that is OK. As long as you have a suitable electronic image that I can use, you can also have a PAWtrait!

Visit the BlogPaws booth in the Exhibition Hall to register. You must be present as a BlogPaws participant to be eligible.

I look forward to creating a PAWtrait for you!
