What Is The Beast In Me?


Personalized animal artwork. Any name made into any animal. Great gifts! Guaranteed!

Each "Beast" is hand-drawn to your specifications. Tell Susan the name and animal. Feel free to throw in some personal details, hobbies, colors, etc., and she will create an original artwork just for you. She uses high-grade markers on 8 x 10 inch heavy mat board. Every beast is guaranteed.

Susan has been making Beasts for 23 years and has a loyal mail-order customer base. One regular customer recently told me, "It's a Pavlovian response, when I receive a birth announcement, I call Susan immediately." Some celebrities who own Beasts include: John F. Kennedy Jr. and Caroline, David Letterman, Mary Tyler Moore and Peter Jennings.

The New York Times said:

If your child reminds you of a monkey - or a pussycat, or a lion, or a giraffe, or a wombat - you can have a charming illustration done with the child's name worked into the form of the animal. An artist named Susan Vosburgh uses markers to make 8-by-10-inch pictures on heavy mat board suitable for framing. Each drawing is done to order, so any animal can be worked in, as well as custom colors, hobbies or special interests.

Seventeen magazine said:

Your name artistically transformed into any favorite animal in its watercolor habitat. Perfect for framing. Great gift for friends, too!

Pittsburgh magazine said:

Anyone ever tell you that you reminded them of a yak? Ever felt like you were as slinky as a leopard? If you are the sort of person who relates better to animals than to your in-laws, you might want to give Susan Vosburgh a call. Susan is a young artist who incorporates animals into peoples names.

An original Vosburgh makes a terrific gift. So if you have a friend named Sylvester who happens to love cats, you can order him a gift that is certain to bring out the beast in him.

The Westsider said:

Surprise your favorite youngster with a playful illustration that works his or her name into the animal of your choice. A West Side woman named Susan Vosburgh does the custom artwork, which she calls, cleverly enough, "The Beast in Me." The animals are especially benign-looking and Vosburgh's sense of color is delightful.
