Jimmydog Custom Portraits
Capture your memories with an endearing custom portrait painted by renowned North Carolina portrait artist Todd Belcher, specializing in custom painted pet portraits.

Todd is known for his colorful, stylistic interpretations and his ability to create a composite portrait from multiple photographs. He draws and paints every custom portrait by hand, utilizing his exceptional artistic gift to convey the unique spirit and likeness of his subjects.

You can commission a portrait of your beloved pet or a special child, family member or friend, and Todd will create a custom portrait from your photographs. You can also commission a pencil or painted portrait from multiple photos, and Todd will place all the subjects together in one work of original custom portrait art.
This is unique because it can create a cherished portrait of your relatives or ancestors, placing them together even if they are not in the same original photograph. Todd also accepts commissions for custom pencil and painted portraits of architecture, including homes and churches.


Custom Portrait: Mr. McClary

"When I opened my last birthday present at a family gathering this summer, I was absolutely stunned to see such an incredible portrait of my dog McClary! Not only did Todd capture McClary's spirit, he also perfectly textured his soft, wispy, spotted coat. It's almost unbelievable that Todd has never seen McClary in person, and only had a photograph to work from, because the piece really captures the true essence of who McClary is to me. To find out only minutes later that Todd Belcher was the artist, was the second part in this huge surprise. The gift was given to me by my boyfriend's parents, and they discovered Todd, not knowing that we are friends who haven't seen each other in many years! Synchronicity always adds an amazing depth to a situation, and this was no exception. My boyfriend and I (and many others) will enjoy McClary's portrait forever! Thank you Todd, for your artistic talent, and ability to 'tap into' the spirit of our loving pets!"
— Dottie Northup, Wiinston-Salem, North Carolina

"Todd & Stephanie, I wanted to let you to know how delighted I am with Todd’s treatment of Oscar. I knew the picture would make me rather sad but what I didn’t anticipate is how comforting the picture is to me. I believe that I needed some special memorial for him and this seems to fulfill that need. Todd’s work has a kind of magic to it and I am so appreciative of the talent and care he took in Oscar’s portrait."
