THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PATTERNS
A BROTHER, A SISTER, AND A PUG NAMED SWEETPEA.
This is Fur and Whisker. John draws. Anne ships. Sweetpea started it all.
HOW WE GOT HERE
It started with a stupid question.
Why does every dog-themed thing look like clipart?
That's the question John kept asking. Usually out loud, usually while holding a pug. John draws — a graphic designer who loves clever design and loves dogs more. Anne ships — a project manager, a cat person, and the reason any of this actually gets out the door. We're siblings. We built this together.
We couldn't find a single piece of art for our own homes — pillows, wallpaper, tea towels — that honored a specific breed without looking like a gift-shop novelty. Beagles reduced to cartoons. Great Danes flattened into silhouettes. Corgis turned into memes.
So we built what we wanted to buy. An entire catalog. Every breed we could think of, reinterpreted through every art movement we love. Drawn by hand. Printed on things you'd actually want in your house.
We haven't stopped drawing.
WHAT WE BELIEVE
Is your Corgi pop art or William Morris?
Pop art Corgi. William Morris Corgi. Damask Dane. Botanical Dane. Chinoiserie Frenchie. Minimal Frenchie. Every breed in every art movement we love.
We don't slap a dog silhouette on a stock background. We study the breed's whole personality, then reach for the art movement that matches the room you want to put it in. Then we do it again, in a completely different style, because one take is never enough.
Nothing here exists anywhere else. That's the whole point.
IN LOVING MEMORY
SWEETPEA
The one who started it all.
THE STORY BEHIND THE STORY
This whole brand is the epilogue.
Her name was Sweetpea. She was a pug. She died in 2021.
When she did, the people who loved her didn't send cards — they made things. A hand-thrown urn covered in bold, black-and-white pattern work. A whole illustrated book about her. Bespoke, breed-specific, drawn-from-scratch art. Made by hand. For one dog.
That's what this brand is.
Fur and Whisker is what came next: the same gesture, scaled. Hand-drawn, breed-specific, one-of-one love — but now for every dog, every breed, every home that deserves to feel that way.
This one's for her.
WHAT'S COMING
We're still drawing.
→ Wallpaper. For that one room your dog already thinks they own.
→ Custom portraits. Your dog, your style, our hand.
→ Drops. Limited. Seasonal. Gone before you can talk yourself out of it.
→ More breeds. Shibas, Huskies, Whippets, Chihuahuas. We see you.
→ Cat patterns. Anne has been patient. Her moment is coming.
