Custom "Disney" Pet Portraits (Your pet here!)

Kathryn from Torbay - Long Bay

(Valid anywhere—digital file!)
Send through a photo of a pet, and I'll turn him or her into a character you'd swoon for in a Disney movie.
I am offering a drawing with clean colored lines, a simple background, and simple shading (more than what is in my example), based off of a special photo.

What you will receive:
- a full-size high quality PNG file (digital!)
- you will get one round of review, in which you may ask for changes to get your perfect pet picture
- the photoshop document if requested--my signature cannot be removed

What you may do with this:
- print it on anything (NOT FOR PROFIT) like a canvas, poster, t-shirt, pillow, or mug for a wholesome gift this Christmas (I can point you to some places to do this. Name anything, and I can probably find a place to get it printed!)

Pricing by size (one pet):
A4 image (poster or decent to good quality for a t-shirt or anything smaller): $35
A3 image (poster or good to great quality for most products): $45

+ $20 per additional animal

Please message me or e-mail if you are interested!

If you want to consult with me for a special pose, expression, theme/props, or background, I am happy to negotiate. The above prices are only for direct interpretation of the photo with a simple color background (like the example listed).

I'm a vet student needing to make some money over the summer, so any commissions really help me out. I'm moving around a bit between now and the start of my next university year, and while I am employed full-time throughout December, applying for a job for half of November and all of January before I move away in February isn't incredibly realistic. So, this is me!

I also draw humans and offer other options if you are interested. I have art examples of varying quality on my Instagram: aloofs_travelingcircus

Thank you! :))

Price: $35

Six tips for improving security around your home

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

1) Improve outdoor lighting
Ensure that streets, driveways, and front yards are well-lit. Motion-sensor lights around homes deter trespassers by reducing hiding spots and illuminating their movements.

2) Trim your trees
Overgrown shrubs and trees provide cover for intruders. Keeping them well-trimmed around windows and doors improves visibility and reduces potential hiding spots.

3) Secure Entry Points
Ensure doors, windows, and gates are always closed when you are away from the house. Upgrade to more secure locks, deadbolts, or even smart locks for added protection.

4) Add a security camera
Place security cameras in the main entry points to your home. Doorbell cameras are also relatively cheap and a great way to keep track of who is visiting your home when you aren't there.

5) Start a Neighborhood Watch Program
You could reach out to members on Neighbourly to form a group of neighbors who can regularly keep an eye out for suspicious activity and report it. You could also check with Neighbourhood Support to see what is existing in your area.

6) Introduce yourself to your neighbours
The closer you are to your neighbors, the more likely they’ll notice when something unusual or suspicious is happening around your property

Feel free to share anything that you do around your area to deter crime.
