Mother\u2019s Day Gifts to spark a conversation and guarantee a reaction!\u00a0www.jbirdistheword.com<\/a><\/h3>\n

\nJ.Bird Cremeans is the artist and owner of \u201cAntique Pet Photos\u201d. She describes her artwork as \u201cCreepy and cute animals dressed in Victorian clothing\u201d. When asked how she came up with this hilarious concept she explains: \u201cApparently there was a guy name Harry Whittier Frees that would take horrifyingly cute pictures of animals dressed up as people for children\u2019s books. There were the original cat memes before the internet even existed. I didn\u2019t want to get my eyes clawed out so I decided to use my knowledge of Photoshop to create similar images.\u201d
\nCustom Antique Pet Photos are a huge hit around the holidays and Mother\u2019s Day is a big deal to those who want to give their Mom something related to their pets or \u201cfur babies\u201d. Customers typically contact J.Bird through email at jbirdistheword@yahoo.com, or her Etsy store at www.jbirdistheword.etsy.com<\/a> to ask about having one made. A person sends in a few pictures of the pet or pets and gets to select the photograph they want them in from an online gallery full of unique and often strange antique photos. The artist then takes the images and \u201cPhotoshops\u201d them together meticulously using brushes, layers, and textures to make viewers gasp wondering if they\u2019re real or not.
\nOne customer left this 5 star review on www.jbirdistheword.etsy.com after purchasing and receiving a custom Antique Pet Photo: \u201cAbsolutely amazing, the gift was such a hit! My friend LOVED it and the artist was so helpful and talented.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another buyer had this to say: \u201cAmazing. No other way to say it.\u201d<\/p>\n

J.Bird actually wants you to laugh at the artwork. Go ahead, giggle, snicker, snort, and chuckle. \u201c I want my audience to see my sense of humor in my work and provoke them to strike up a conversation with me or another viewer about the art itself\u201d. What does it remind you of? Hopefully it reminds you of your pets or your own quirky family. \u201cThat owl looks just like my great-uncle!\u201d Humor never goes out of style and when my art is infused with it, the art becomes a joy to see and talk about for years to come. Because I try hard to make my Antique Pet Photos so realistic, that is what makes them so fun to look at. Did I really dress up that cat? How did I get that beard on that dog?\u201d
\nIf you want to see your Mother (or any loved one) laugh hysterically this Mother\u2019s Day, you can commission J.Bird Cremeans for a custom Antique Pet Photo by emailing her here: jbirdistheword@yahoo.com.
