About me

Hi, I’m David — the illustrator behind PixelEde.

I started painting during lockdown as a way to unwind and reconnect with something I’d always loved but hadn’t made time for. What began as a quiet creative outlet quickly grew into a small creative business painting portraits of beautiful pets and creating fun animal artwork. Getting to connect with people and creating something meaningful for them has to be one of the best parts of my job.

My portraits are hand-drawn digitally, but the process is just as thoughtful and painterly as traditional methods. I layer brushstrokes on a touchscreen canvas with the same care and attention you'd use with paint on paper.

From custom pet portraits to animal-inspired homeware, everything I make is designed to be a little playful, and as eco-conscious as possible.

Whether you’re here to honour a much-loved pet, find something meaningful to gift, or simply brighten your space, I hope you find something here that makes you smile.
