How it all happened

While painting cows for Cowparade, Di and Ruth started to receive requests for painted animals more manageable and convenient in size.

They approached Jonathan Paul Green, a graduate of Central St Martin's School of Art, who started his career at Spitting Image and now is a freelance set designer.

His sculpture of the pig has certainly lent itself to a whole host of designs - and we hope you enjoy them as much as we enjoy creating them.

The sculptures produced by Painted Pigs now also include piggy banks, perfect gifts for newborns and those looking to save! Our new range of elephants are also popular, so take your time and enjoy browsing the site.

If you have a theme in mind and would like Painted Pigs to customise a product especially for you, please contact us - almost anything can be commissioned.
