We’ll take creepy old houses and ghost hauntings… but stereotypes? There’s nothing worse. 👻

Haunted by Stereotypes features our good pal Jaxon and is a little reminder that what you hear about pitties isn’t always what you get.

It’s part of our BOO-llies Collection, and with October right around the corner, now’s a pretty good time to start stocking up on your spooky season favorites. Wear your pittie pride loud. 🖤🎃

And don’t forget to check my Stories! I’ve got tons of Halloween, Dia de los Mu***os + Breast Cancer Awareness designs that aren’t on the website but can be added to your order. Just DM me to order, and you’ll get a special discount when you pay through Venmo.

Even in the afterlife, we can't help ourselves with the boops.

The BOO-llies Collection is officially LIVE! 🎃🐾

This collection brings together Pitbull Awareness, Halloween, Día de los Mu***os, and Breast Cancer Awareness. Every design ties back to the bigger picture of advocacy, resilience, survival, and celebrating these dogs for what they actually are... not what stereotypes say they are.

A few important launch notes:

🗓️ Order by September 15th to receive your order by early October.

🎨 Ordering new artwork? Please place your new artwork order by August 31, 2026. While the website currently lists new artwork as taking up to 6 weeks, BOO-llies Collection orders will have a special 2–3 week artwork turnaround for this launch.

🐾 Adding new artwork: You can order it from the TAILored Portraits Collection or directly within most product listings.

🛍️ Ordering more than one item? Choose “Just as Is” on each additional listing so you aren't paying for new artwork more than once.

⚠️ Pay attention to the portrait style! Each personalized design is formatted specifically for a particular portrait style, so they are not interchangeable. If you're not sure which style you need, please reach out before ordering. I'm happy to help you figure it out!

I am ridiculously proud of this collection and so excited to finally have it out in the world. 🖤 I hope you love these designs as much as I loved creating them.

And we're not done yet... 👀

I'll be dropping some non-dog-specific designs in Stories over the next week, so keep an eye out.

The three most important things in life:

💧 Stay hydrated.
🐾 Love pitties.
✊🏽 Fight racism.

I don’t make the rules.

This one is simple, a little cheeky, and carries a whole lot of meaning. Definitely one of my favorites. 🩷

Loving a dog is one of the greatest gifts we’re ever given in this life. Loving a senior dog is something even deeper.

I know this because it’s a path I’m walking myself. Sharing that journey has given me friendships with people I never could have imagined meeting. I’ve said it before & I’ll say it forever, dog people are the best people.

One of those friendships is with Edward & his family.

Over the past year, Lindsay & I have talked, laughed, offered advice, cried & leaned on each other as we navigated the difficult reality of loving senior dogs whose health & mobility were declining. Somewhere along the way, I found a true friend - one I hope will last a lifetime.

I also found a dog I came to love as though he were my own, despite never having the privilege of meeting him in person.

Edward was an inspiration to so many. His joy & sass, his kindness, his sweetness & loyalty.. His love. He embodied so many of the things we strive to be ourselves & yet he did it effortlessly. He just was.

Today, his family made the incredibly difficult & selfless decision to let him go. They chose to spare him from suffering even further; giving him the dignity of saying goodbye at home, surrounded by the people who loved him most.

I wish more than anything that I could have met him in this life. But Edward knew just how deeply he was loved, not only by his family but by people all over the world who were lucky enough to know his story.

What a privilege it is to bring these beautiful beings into our lives. To be chosen by them. To walk beside them through this life & be there for them until the very end. It is the greatest grief we will ever know & somehow, also the greatest blessing to have known a love so pure & unconditional.

This portrait is my tribute to Edward’s beautiful spirit. That smile was enough to light up the universe. I hope he’s running freely across the rainbow bridge; no more pain. No more suffering. And with an endless supply of ice cream at his paws.

We love you Edward. Rest easy, sweet boy. Until we meet again. 🌈❤️

Forever Among the Marigolds.

Marigolds have long been a symbol of remembrance, love, and the enduring connection we share with those we love. They remind us that while time moves forward, love never really leaves us.

A few months ago, BB crossed the Rainbow Bridge, but the impact she made on the people who loved her is as strong as ever. She was wonderfully sassy, unapologetically vocal, and had a larger-than-life personality. She had a way of making everyone around her smile and she lived every day on her own terms.

This illustration has been a work in progress since her passing and is a tribute to the incredible spirit she leaves behind. Rest easy, sweet girl.

June is here, and with it comes Pride Month, a reminder of something that sits at the core of what I do, even when it is not on a calendar.

My work has always been about the underdogs. The ones who get overlooked, misunderstood, mislabeled, or simply not given the space they deserve to exist loudly and lovingly as they are. And while the LGBTQIA+ community is often unfairly treated as “different,” the truth is that it is society’s lens that is distorted, not the people themselves.

Around here, I want Barktivist to be a small corner of the internet and the world where “different” is not a warning label but a celebration. A space built on safety, love, and the belief that every story deserves to be seen, honored, and told with heart.

To kick off Pride Month, I am resharing one of my all-time favorite portraits, our exclusive Fetch Equality design.

This piece is currently not listed on the website, but it can be added to apparel, mugs, and more. If you would like one, just send me a DM and I will get you sorted. As always, it can be customized to feature your very own pets! 10% of profits this month will be donated to the

Here is to love in all its forms, and to the ones who have always deserved more space than they were given. 🏳️‍🌈🐶
