About Stuffy Makes

I'm Stuffy, the artist, painter, sculptor, and self-proclaimed crazy animal person behind everything you'll find here. What started as a small creative outlet in my Brooklyn apartment has grown into a full collection of handmade art. Stickers, prints, ornaments, 3D sculptures, original paintings, and custom watercolor pet portraits - all born from the same love of animals, nature, and the slightly strange.

I've always been drawn to creatures, the soft and the strange ones alike. There's something about a rabbit's eye, a crow's silhouette, or a quietly grinning skull tucked into a bed of flowers that feels honest to me - a little cute, a little dark, never just one thing. That contrast is at the heart of everything I make: soft creatures, sharp edges.

My work moves between two worlds. When I'm painting your pet, I slow down and get realistic. Capturing the exact tilt of their ears, the color in their eyes, the expression that makes them unmistakably them. It's some of the most meaningful work I do, and I never take for granted that you're trusting me with something that personal. But when I'm making my own original pieces, I let things get colorful, illustrative, a little weird, because that's where I get to play.

Every single item is made by hand, by me, with real materials and zero shortcuts. No prints pretending to be paintings, no AI, no templates. My 3d work is also created by me in a 3d sculpting program and then printed by me in my apartment, and then meticulously hand-painted to make every 3d sculpt its own unique piece. No mass production here, just paint, brushes, patience, and probably a cat sitting somewhere nearby supervising.

Stuffy Makes was built on the idea that art doesn't have to choose between professional and playful, or cute and a little creepy. It can be all of it at once. Made small, made wild, made stuffy.

Thank you for being here and supporting something handmade. It means more than you know.
