Surreal Pet Portraits

Brandi Marie Little Creates Personified Animal Paintings with an Edge

— April 24, 2013 — Art & Design
They say that pets tend to take on the personalities of their owners, an idea that becomes extraordinarily realized in the strange and surreal animal paintings by artist Brandi Marie Little.

Cuddly critters such as rabbits, mice and puppies take on human character traits including head adornments and facial hair. The best ones are the hardcore tattooed creatures such as the rabbit with the tatted ear and the cat with a mermaid inked on its back, simply because these gentle animals are the farthest thing from what I would consider tough.

If you are the type to find concepts such as a dog with a wolf mask as insanely cute, you would thoroughly enjoy the hilariously personified animal paintings by Brandi Marie Little.
Trend Themes
1. Personified Animal Art - Artists can explore using animals as a canvas for human attributes and expressions, creating unique and engaging pieces that resonate with viewers.
2. Surreal Pet Portraits - The merging of human and animal characteristics in pet portraits can create a sense of intrigue and whimsy, offering a fresh perspective on traditional pet art.
3. Tattooed Animal Imagery - Incorporating tattoos onto animals in artwork can challenge traditional notions of aesthetic appeal and provoke thought on the relationship between appearance and identity.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Illustration - Artists can explore new techniques and unconventional subject matter, pushing the boundaries of traditional art and appealing to a diverse range of art enthusiasts.
2. Pet Products and Services - Pet owners may seek out merchandise featuring personified animal artwork, opening up opportunities for creative collaborations and unique product offerings in the pet industry.
3. Fashion and Apparel - Designers can draw inspiration from surreal pet portraits and incorporate elements of imagination and playfulness into their clothing lines, creating visually captivating and conversation-starting pieces.
