Random, boring cat and dog art vs. creative, targeted cat and dog art.

Why are most cat and dog artworks boring? Because the artist chose the most obvious version of the subject matter that came to mind.  Cat and Dog Modern rejects that sleep-inducing laziness.

In a vet clinic, cat and dog art should ease, please and support anxious pet parents and harried staff.  In a home situation, cat and dog art should be just as engaging, entertaining and uplifting as any fine art on the wall.  

Random, boring design meet your replacement - targeted, creative messaging that looks good getting the job done.

Taking a culture of caring (not boring) wall to wall.  

First, we capture audience attention with an easily recognizable, stylized Modernism.  Next, we stand out by taking a culture of caring (warmth, empathy and humor) "wall to wall”.  Finally, we put ourselves in commercial and residential spaces asking what pet art would POSITIVELY engage and entertain us?  

Our creative journey might lead to situational or behavioral solutions. It might lead to the clownish , the playful and the always insightful…as long as it tugs at a heart or cracks a smile!  

We didn’t stop innovating at better content, we innovated sizing, too!  

Beyond good messaging options, we've designed good sizing options - the kind that fit the most challenging obstacle course walls! Our prints come 9” x 12” or 16” x 20, often in subject matter groupings that encourage pairings, triplets or quads that can array  work vertically or horizontally or clustered together.

Finally, we’ve created a whole series of lightweight, wood wall sculptures to mix and match with our prints -  each just a quarter inch thick and faced with White Maple or Walnut veneer so they hug the walls - in fact, they stick out less than our framed prints and are perfect for filling out that odd space by the ficus tree or a lonely corner where the window bank ends. Buying our art in groupings also means discounts applied to the group purchase - the more groupings you buy, the more you save.  

If you’re worried about framing costs, don’t.  We offer three colors of cleanly designed, brushed metal, glass-enclosed frames at very reasonable prices.  And while we’re on the subject of reasonable pricing...

Buying art piecemeal sucks. Seeing a photo of your old wall sent transformed with Cat and Dog Modern art doesn’t suck…or cost for an estimate!  

Not satisfied with reinventing cat and dog art, we figured out how to replace redecorating piece by piece with refreshing each room by the wall!  

Thanks to recent digital software innovations, you can just send a picture of any wall or walls, tell us a few of your Cat and Dog Modern faves you'd like on that wall (you can also include some designs you’d rather not have), and we’ll send you a picture of that wall back transformed - at no cost, as part of your free estimate…how refreshing! 

This removes a lot of the hassle getting buy-in from different constituencies because they can ALL chime in at the start of the process before final choices are confirmed.

 A quick word about the Cat and Dog Modern design team.

Founder, artist and creative director Perrin Lam has spent a lifetime as a pet parent first and secondly, finding many ways to feed them through various jobs, careers and lifetimes. Rising to Creative Director at the SF branch of one of America’s largest ad agencies gave him the skillset to understand the importance of targeting…even as it can apply to art. Of course, none of this happens in a vacuum. Cat and Dog Modern works with one of the city’s best imprint houses to make sure all art is indelibly reproduced on heavyweight paper.  All woodwork is cut by a close associate off of Perrin’s carefully drawn specs.  Neither artwork nor woodwork comes to Perrin's final inspection approval until it’s passed THEIR sets of eyes. Finally, none of the above could happen without the tireless help of my studio staff. I cannot thank them enough.
