I’ve just drunkenly commissioned a portrait

[RocketSurgery]

Of my cat dressed up as Alexander Hamilton. Dh is going to kill me. I’m really, really hoping sober me appreciates this gifted myself from drunk me.

What's not to love

Sounds awesome. And a real conversation piece

Please tell me where you commissioned this from, I know someone who would love a portrait of their cat as Alexander Hamilton and feel a gift buying mood coming on...

Wow OP, the story of tonight will be great to tell in future! I hope you don't have long to wait for it.

Can you post a photo when its completed?🙂

It's almost worth getting a cat just so I can do this too.

katya I’ve used a lady called Christina Hess. There are quite a few people on Etsy that do fairly cheap digital prints though.

Thanks Rocket, I’m on it!

You can’t be that drunk, you managed to spell commissioned!

When I am drunk, apparently my grammar and spelling improve because I am trying so hard

I see you have already shared how, thankfully. I would have asked you. Clearly bonkers but in a good way.

Curses! Now I want one. Must be the gin. Not Alexander Hamilton though. Maybe Anne Boleyn.

How long do we have to wait before we see the finished piece?

I’m checking in.

Rocket screw your cat.

Please run away with me and let's be mental together forever!

This is literally the best thread I've ever read on MN!

p.s. Yes, you're insane.

How could you possibly regret this? I hope you have a magnificent mantelpiece over which you can hang it - or possibly a library where you keep your collection of family portraits

In the cold light of day I think I actually like the painting even more. We’re in the process of redecorating our new house and the painting has taken up about a third of our entire budget. Still worth it. The new house has two front rooms, one of which I’m doing as a child free room. Hamiltoncat will go above the fireplace in there. The only other thing I’ve got for the whole house is a globe drinks cabinet which will also go in the child free front room. I think we’ll just have to have one amazingly lovely room and the rest of the house can just stay in a state of charming disrepair.

DD1 just pointed out that it is historically accurate as Martha Washington named a feral tomcat Hamilton.

That is inspired....

This is my favourite thread ever. A third of your decorating budget What a legend.
