She’s quiet as a mouse.
He gives the best bear hugs!
What a card shark!

comission a unique animal family portrait

We use animals to describe each other’s personalities all the time, and many of us have a favorite animal that we identify with…or one that we just plain like a lot!

Now you can commission a unique family portrait, where each person is turned into their favorite animal!

Mr. Fox: Who am I? Why a fox? Why not a horse, or a beetle, or a bald eagle? I’m saying this more as, like, existentialism, you know? Who am I? And how can a fox ever be happy without, you’ll forgive the expression, a chicken in its teeth?

– from the movie The Fantastic Mr. Fox
