Who is j.m?
Hi everyone! I’m Jamie, a 27-year-old living in the Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne, Australia. I am the person behind the drawings, a one man team if you will with some amazing supporters helping out where they can.
Id first like to say a big thank you for visiting the website even if its just to check out the drawings, it means a lot!
I started DogeJM while studying. At the time drawing was a great creative release and incredibly enjoyable, drawing was something i had been doing all my life so felt good to get back into it. I then decided to start a small Instagram page as doge_jm, asked some friends to send me photos of their dogs, they did, i drew them and here we are!
With this came some exciting growth on social media and I discovered how much a custom drawing of a pet meant to people, especially of those beloved fur babies who had passed. This made each pet portrait more and more special to me as well.
What is Doge?
As you might have guessed, essentially a slang word for dog. I have a big soft spot for dogs, animals in general but dogs in particular and Doge (pronounced doeje) felt like a fun way to incorporate that.
Thank you for following me on this journey of creation and memorialisation. Please get in touch if you have any queries or would just like to show off your pet! I will greatly appreciate either.
