the lore, in four acts.

act i

the layoff

got the 15-minute calendar invite. you know the one. walked out with a box and a dream.

act ii

the vision

bespoke cat products. inspired by the bish. the market is cats and the cats are ready.

act iii

the plot twist

bespoke requires a laser cutter. a laser cutter requires money. i have, as established, zero.

act iv (you are here)

the comeback

i hand-paint your pet's portrait. you get art. i get a laser. everyone heals.

the laser fund

every portrait = one step closer to $3,920

saved: $0 headshots painted: 0 goal: $3,920

the laser cutter is how the actual watabish products happen. bespoke cat stuff, made by me, cut by a beam of light. we are SO close (we are not close).

post-laser era (manifesting)

bespoke cat furniture for cats who are, frankly, a lot

cat furniture, cat playgrounds, and whatever else the bish demands next. designed by me, approved (begrudgingly) by him.

questions you're definitely asking

is this a scam?

no bestie. it's a tiny art business with extra steps and a cat.

why only $49?

the bish thinks this is a terrible business decision. students get the classic for $29: follow and dm @watabish_ to claim.

can i get my dog painted?

yes. the bish will be personally offended. that's between him and god.

what's "bish" short for?

it's a term of endearment. he earned it. we keep it kid-friendly here.

how long does it take?

about a week. i paint between serving the bish: 4am breakfast, surprise lap duty, and emotional support whenever a leaf moves.

do you ship?

yes, and the bish insists on tracking. canada from $28 (it depends on your province), the US for $39, always insured. US orders come with customs fees prepaid, so the only surprise at your door is your pet's face. shipping is calculated from your address at checkout. how US orders work → in the soo? choose free pick-up at checkout.

will it arrive by christmas?

if you plan ahead (unlike the bish, who plans nothing and still wins). in canada, claim a painting week no later than the week of december 7. in the US, no later than the week of november 23, because customs moves at the speed of a cat being called by name.

ordering more than one?

look at you, starting a collection. add as many portraits as you like at checkout. they ship together in one box, and each extra one only adds a few dollars of shipping. the bish will pretend not to be impressed.

my payment didn't go through?

no stress. nothing's booked until the payment goes through, and your receipt email is your proof. if it failed, just try again, or email aya@likhangmaya.com or dm @watabish_. the bish holds grudges, not card details.

do it.
for the bish.
