Is your family your most
precious treasure?
Have one of our talented artists create a custom artwork for you
You've got brilliant ideas. We've got talented artists to bring them to life.
Let's make something amazing.
Amazing
Aeryn did an amazing job capturing our beloved furbabe!!! She took into consideration the extra details we included along with the photos and ended up producing an amazing piece of art that perfectly captured his real personality and appearance. And all for an extremely reasonable rate. Truly a talented artist!
I would do it again in a heartbeat
I was inspired to commission this art after reading articles online about unique proposal ideas. I read one where a gentleman had commissioned a work of art depicting his proposal. I never realized that I could have an artist commission a personalized work of art for me over the internet, so as soon as I realized this was a possibility, I thought it would be a wonderful proposal idea. I thought the idea was very personal and unique and offered a way to remember the special occasion for years to come.
I browsed many different artists, and I was struck by TheMeedes attention to detail in her sample artwork. I thought that her commissions very closely resembled the reference photos that were sent to her. I wanted my commission to look very accurate and attention to detail was important to me. So I sent her recent photos of the two of us, as well as of the proposal location. And I was very pleased by the results. I would commission this work of art again in a heartbeat. These artists are very talented and they know how to pleasantly surprise their clients.
Unique birthday gift!
I wanted to get my father a unique birthday gift and had exhausted the classic dad gift ideas (wallet, sun glasses, pen, whiskey glasses, etc). I came across various private commissioned art pieces on Reddit in the past and began exploring the available commissioning options. Did I mention I love Corgis? Given my new need and my dog preference history, Google’s algorithm saw to it that ArtCorgi would find its way to me. The rest is history and the art is awesome.
We couldn't be happier!
I’m not sure if we gave more than normal, less than normal or the right amount, but Ian absolutely NAILED the portrait! He got the expression, pose and characteristics spot on to make an instantly recognisable portrait but with the obvious fantasy character twist.
Via our original idea and concept pictures submitted and after sending a response to the initial draft, he took on our response comments from the submitted draft and elevated what was already an impressive piece in to an amazing and unique birthday present.
We could not be happier with the final piece and would recommend his work, and this site, to anyone!
Ask questions to the team!
My fiancé and I have never been fans of simple gifts, so we’re always looking for something that is special and will last. I stumbled across ArtCorgi and found that something special. The best advice I would give to someone commissioning art for the for the first time is to ask questions of the ArtCorgi team. Simone was extremely helpful in helping me understand the norms of the process so that I could ensure my requests.
I will definitely be ordering from them again!
Commissioning art for the first time is kind of a scary experience, especially when you’re commissioning a portrait of someone who has, until then, existed solely in your head – and the only real advice I have for anyone considering it is to just do it! It can definitely be a surreal experience, but everyone I’ve been in contact with has been nothing but helpful and you can really tell that they want you to be as happy with the final piece as you want yourself to be. I can honestly say that I was surprised at just how smooth the entire process was, and all I can really say is that I will definitely be ordering from them again in the future and you definitely should too!
It was a fun and exciting process!
Well, my girlfriend and I being in long distance relationship aren’t capable of doing things normal couples are capable of doing. We always wanted more than anything to be able to have a picture together. We thought about it and decided we would get a picture drawn of us so we could have something special to symbolize the relationship we have.
Take your time and just plan things out. Look at multiple art styles and come up with an idea for each one. You can plan it out, really get a feel for which idea you really like and want to go with. It was probably the most fun I’ve had waiting for something before. Just waiting not knowing what I was going to get for a draft and already being blown away, then waiting for the final piece not knowing how much different it was going to look. It was a fun and exciting process to see the next thing.
CHECK OUT ARTCORGI!
As someone who comissions art regularly, I really appreciated the ability to have clearly listed prices, guided interactions, wonderful customer support, and reasonable turn around time. I would say: Look through all available artist and find someone whose style speaks to you, provide clear pictures from all directions, choose everyday pictures if you want to capture “personality”, and don’t be afraid to speak up if you think there is something that needs to be tweaked.
I had a great experience
I was inspired when I saw a friend of mine on Facebook post an awesome commission from ArtCorgi as his profile picture. I’ve used ArtCorgi before to commission an anniversary gift for my wife and really had a great experience. Building off of that past experience, I felt that if I had my own artistic rendition of myself that it would help me standout a bit more in the social networking world. I plan on using this image on my YouTube channel as well as on LinkedIn and already have it set as my profile picture on Facebook.

a badass fantasy
portrait
The sky is the limit when it comes to what can be portrayed in a painting! So, why not go wild and imagine yourself doing something exciting that you couldn't do in real life?
Riding a giant corgi into battle, watching over Gotham city as Batman, becoming a character from World of Warcraft...? You name it!

An extraordinary FAMILY PORTRAIT
Family portraits are a wonderful way to show your family how much you cherish them! However, that doesn't mean you have to resort to the usual family photograph!
You can let your creativity show through an extraordinary illustration like The Martins did with their own rendition of The Incredibles' movie poster!

9 out of 10 corgis recommend our service
The remaining corgi was sleeping so peacefully that we didn’t want to disturb him to get a testimonial. Thank you for your understanding.

I decided to commission a piece because I’m often traveling from country to country, so family pictures of us all together have become a bit few and far between! This is mostly for my mother and father, whose birthdays are in May and June and I hoped would enjoy having something like this in the house.
It was a quick, simple, and easy process all around, and I’ve been impressed by both the customer service and the turn-around times. I’ll definitely use ArtCorgi again for my next commission!

Who's behind ArtCorgi?
Our team works hard to provide our clients and artists with the best online art commissioning experience and unparalleled results.
Meet the
Artcorgi team
In the summer of 2013, Malcolm Collins commissioned 21 pieces of art from 18 different artists to propose to (now wife!) Simone. Although the proposal went great (and went viral!), they were dismayed to see how difficult it was to commission art online and horrified by the way artists undervalued their work.
That led them to create ArtCorgi to empower everyday people to commission unique art as gifts for friends, colleagues, and family (not to mention themselves!) with minimal hassle and maximum enjoyment, and to aid up-and-coming artists in their careers, helping them gain more coverage, new clients and fair payment for their work.
ArtCorgi delivers a safe, fun, and fair experience for all parties involved.
As of October 2017, Lucia Garcia also joined The ArtCorgi Team as its new CEO and is committed to continuing Malcolm and Simone’s legacy.
