Pumpkin & Grumble creates custom pet portrait tiles designed with pet parents in mind — whether you’re celebrating your best friend or honoring a beloved companion.
Each portrait is digitally hand-drawn, carefully cut, and applied to a handcrafted ceramic tile. Every piece is customized with your choice of colors, design elements, and vinyl details, then sealed with a glossy epoxy resin finish.
Handmade in Massachusetts, these one-of-a-kind tiles make meaningful gifts, heartfelt memorial keepsakes, and lasting tributes to the pets who leave pawprints on our hearts.
Custom Pet Portrait Tiles
Starting as a hobby in 2019, Pumpkin & Grumble was started to return to my main focus on art. I've been drawing ever since I was young and my focus was always on animals, but specifically dogs. I had a brief stint doing commission paintings and digital drawings of pets a bit over 10 years ago, and always found myself returning to this specific subject matter over the following years. My dog Chuck, in particular, was a profound driving force in why I began to focus on pets specifically.
There are a ton of traditional pet portrait artist out there, ranging from specializing in painting, traditional drawing, digital paintings, etc. I had wanted to do something different from the rest, so I opted to combine my digital drawings as well as love for crafting to create an entirely unique take on pet portraiture. Every piece I make is 100% custom and individual to each client. I like to learn about your pet (their personality, their specific markings, their quirks, etc.) and apply that to the creation process.
Pumpkin & Grumble is named after my two dogs: Chuck and Ember. I had always referred to Chuck as "pumpkin" since he was a pup, and Ember has an affinity for "grumbling" for treats (even though Chuck taught her, ha!) so it seemed to be a perfect fit.
Despite my biggest muse passing on, I continue to create art in his honor. Memorial portrait tiles are a gentle way to honor and remember your companion. Each tile is made with care and intention, serving as a lasting tribute and a comforting keepsake for pet parents.
