History

Designers Kate and Mark Polyblank set up their original company Takkoda in 2005 with a range of anthropomorphic characters. We applied these characters to a range of kids T-shirts and later a wider range of products. Our first customer was the British landmark store ‘Harrods’.Our designs combine photography and digital artwork. 

Our interest in pop culture and the global celebrity phenomenon combined with our fascination with pets and the old adage that ‘People look like their pets’ led us to the creation of images that brought this saying to life and thus Pets Rock® was born.

Our characters are created by photographing pets, we then draw every other part of the image. That’s everything else - hair, clothes, make-up, props. It’s all drawn from scratch to create a unique work of art.
