About Wiener Studios
We make posters you would hang up even if you had no pet. Then we put your animal in them.
The poster comes first
Most pet portraits start with the animal and add a background. We work the other way round. Each poster is designed as a poster — the palette, the composition, the printing technique — and it has to hold a wall on its own before any animal goes into it. Halftone, screen print, risograph, oil. If it would not look good in a design shop, it does not go in the shop.
Styles, not filters
A filter puts a surface on a photo. A style decides everything: how flat the colour is, where the light falls, how coarse the raster is, what the poster borrows from — a seventies travel print, a riso fanzine, a nineteenth-century painting. We build each one deliberately and keep it narrow, so the posters look like they came from the same studio.
An AI does the drawing
Your photo and the instructions for the style go to an image model at OpenAI, and it makes the poster. Nobody paints it by hand, and we would rather say so than let you wonder. What we do is the part before and after: designing the styles, writing the instructions, rejecting what misses, and getting it printed properly.
You see it before you pay
The preview is free. If the poster is not right you redo it, and you only pay when you have seen something you want on your wall. It is the only way we can think of to sell something that does not exist until you ask for it.
Printed to be looked at
200 gsm matte art paper, printed in Sweden. Matte rather than glossy — the halftone dots read better, the colour stays flat, and the paper does not glare under a lamp. Three sizes, because a poster is furniture and furniture has to fit.
