First Friends by Erin Chainani
Now that Archie has his first lovie, I have a feeling that we’re only a few months away from ordering a custom portrait of Bandit. In this house, we love original artwork and we love custom paintings and photos. Previously our dogs had been the recipients of our portrait commissions (we have an oil painting of them as well as two poster size headshots of them).
Now we have Archie’s walls to adorn and there seems to be a booming toy portraiture business out there to capture our attention. First off is First Friends by Erin Chainani. These watercolor toy portraits are intimate, precious, and definitely affordable, with prices starting at $65.

Next up are custom toy portraits by Jennifer Maher. These acrylic paintings have a little more pop to them. Added bonus–she has experience painting Blabla dolls!

Hi – just stumbled upon this post, and wanted to thank you! I DO love painting Blablas and would be very excited to paint my first raccoon, so I hope to hear from you!

Thanks so much for finding me (First Friends Toy Portraits) online! I’ve painted a BlaBla panda and a Blabla mermaid, and am totally in love with their sweet, homemade, old-fashioned-ness. My twins have the blabla flower and the fox
Nice choice for Archie! Your photos are so sweet! Thanks again!! -Erin, First Friends Toy Portraits
