There’s something about the classic 2D animations from Disney and Dreamworks that warms our hearts. Maybe it’s partly nostalgia, but it’s mostly to do with the fact that this art style is insanely adorable!
These two factors played huge roles in Dutch illustrator, Isa, deciding to quit her old job in order to start her own illustration business. Add in her love of animals and you’ve got her dream job: A pet portrait artist! Using portraits pet parents submit and the animation styles she grew up with, Isa creates some unforgettable masterpieces.
We’ve put together a list of some of our favorites for you to appreciate below!
1. Joey and Petee may resemble wolves, but they’re some of the sweetest pups you’ll ever meet!
