{"product_id":"the-boss-portrait","title":"The Boss Portrait","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYour dog, in full regalia. The Boss is the royal portrait — from your photo, not a costume on a stock pose.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Boss Portrait (Royal) keeps the same careful likeness as The Heirloom and dresses it with a hint of theatre: a painted collar, a composed sit, the joke that lands because the face is right. Hand-illustrated. Proof and unlimited edits, included. Archival paper, solid wood. From $89.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat The Boss is\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSome dogs have always been in charge. Breakfast, a strategic nap, a 4:30 meeting by the door. The Boss is for that household — ceremony on the wall, without turning the portrait into a cartoon. The likeness still comes from your photograph. We do not paste a crown onto a generic silhouette and call it done.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOtto hangs in a hallway. Duke holds a gallery wall. Both started as phone pictures. You can see Otto’s before-and-after on this page: the snapshot, then The Boss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is not an oil painting. It is not a filter. A studio illustrator draws your dog, then we print on archival paper and frame the work in solid wood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you send\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA clear photograph, the same as every other style. Natural light, at their eye level, face and ears visible. Phone photos are fine. Older photos are fine. If the file will not work, we write before we begin. \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/pet-photo-guide\"\u003ePhoto guide\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe royal wardrobe is drawn by the studio. You do not need a costume photograph. Send the face you love; we take it from there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow the commission works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUpload the photograph, add their name, add The Boss to your cart. Frame, size, and background sit after the studio default — black \/ 8×10″ \/ soft white — unless you want to choose. Two pets as an option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe send a digital proof before we print. If the collar should sit differently, if an ear is off, if you want a quieter background — say so. Unlimited complimentary edits. Nothing prints until you approve.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter approval: archival paper, solid wood, packed to arrive intact. One to two weeks to proof, a few days per edit, about a week to print and ship.

If the likeness is wrong or the piece is at fault, we reprint, re-illustrate, or refund. The proof is there so you are not discovering the portrait when the box arrives. \u003ca href=\"mailto:hello@elmandtail.com\"\u003ehello@elmandtail.com\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eMaterials, shipping, and the calendar\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe print on archival, acid-free paper so the blacks stay black and the sheet does not yellow. Frames are solid wood — black, white, walnut, or birch — cut for the size you choose. No frame if you would rather take the print to your own framer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIllustration and first proof typically take one to two weeks from a usable photograph. Edits are usually a few days each. After you approve, we print, frame, and ship within about a week. Free shipping over $100 inside the United States. We send tracking when the portrait leaves the studio. If you are working to a date, write it in the order notes. We will not promise a calendar we cannot keep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions we hear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a phone photo enough?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes, if the face is clear.
