FOR MANY, PETS ARE A BIG
PART OF THEIR FAMILY.
WHY NOT IMMORTALIZE YOUR
LOVED ONE?
KYLIE IS LIVE IN THE TOWNHOUSE
HERE AT WCCO WITH MORE ON PAINT
YOUR OWN PET CLASSES.
Reporter: I LOVE THIS IDEA.
IT IS SO FUN TO HAVE A PICTURE
OF YOUR PET UP.
BUT TO PAINT IT YOURSELF, AND
THIS IS SO FUN, WE HAVE MADDY
WITH US.
GOOD MORNING.
Reporter: TELL ME A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT WHERE THERE IDEA CAME
FROM.
GROWING UP I WOULD USE THIS
TECHNIQUE IN SCHOOL ART TO
TRANSFER MY SKETCHES ON TO MY
WORK.
I WANTED TO TURN IMAGINES INTO
SHAPES AND TRACE THEM ON.
WE CAN PAINT OUR PETS.
WHICH IS SO FUN.
AS THE SUBJECT MATTER EVERYONE
LOVES.
Reporter: EVERYONE LOVES
THEIR PET.
WHAT IS AMAZING IS HERE ARE THE
FINISHED PRODUCTS.
YOU SAY THEY TURN OUT NO MATTER
PEOPLE'S SKILL LEVEL.
THEY LOOK WEIRD AS YOU START
WORKING WITH THEM.
IN THE END YOU HAVE AN AWESOME
MASTERPIECE.
YOU STEP BACK FROM THE CANVASS
AND YOU SAY, THAT'S GUS OR ZOE.
Reporter: THAT'S WHO WE HAVE
THIS MORNING.
WHAT WE DID AND WHAT YOU
REQUIRE THAT'S DIFFERENT THAN
THE OTHERS SHOW UP IN PINK
CLASSES, PEOPLE
SEND IN A PICTURE.
RIGHT.
I EDIT THE PICTURE.
YOU HAVE TWO PRINTS READY FOR
CLASS TO WORK OFF OF.
THEN YOU CAN USE THE NATURAL
VERSION TO DO LITTLE TWEETS
WITH THE EYES.
EVERYTHING IS CHANGEABLE.
IT MAKES IT FUN AND SUCCESSFUL
FOR EVERYONE.
Reporter: YOU DO CLASSES ALL
OVER THE PLACE.
THERE ARE DIFFERENT AREAS AND
PLACES.
EXACTLY.
I PARTNER WITH BREWERIES, H
OTELS, COUNTRY CLUBS AND
RESTAURANTS.
FIN PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN --
IT IS A PLACE WHERE PEOPLE CAN
DRINK AND EAT AND CHAT WITH
FRIENDS.
I MEET SO MANY COOL PEOPLE
EVERY DAY.
I HAVE GROUPS OF FRIENDS AT
BACHLORETTE PARTIES.
WHERE CAN PEOPLE FIND YOUR S
HOWS?
MP DESIGN ART.COM.
Reporter: WE'LL LINK THAT ON
WCCO.COM/LINKS.
YOUR NEXT ONE IS COMING UP ON
APRIL
4th.
YES.
Reporter: THANK YOU FOR
GETTING UP EARLY AND BRINGING
THIS IN.
DO YOU WANT TO HELP?
NO.
IF THIS DOESN'T TURN OUT, IT IS
NOT GOING TO BE MY FAULT.
Reporter: YOU HAVE A
BIRTHDAY COMING UP SO THIS
COULD BE YOUR
BIRTHDAY PRESENT.
A PICTURE OF GUS.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
I THINK YOU ARE DOING A
GREAT JOB.
I CAN VISUALIZE THAT HANGING
YOU PROBABLY HEARD OF PAINT
AND SIP NIGHTS THAT HAVE BECOME
POPULAR OVER THE YEARS.
NOW A LOCAL STUDIO IS ADDING
YOUR PET TO THE MIX.
KYLIE IS IN THE WCCO TOWNHOUSE
WITH HOW IT WORKS.
GOOD MORNING.
Reporter: GOOD MORNING.
THIS IS SUCH A FUN IDEA.
WE ARE ALL OBSESSED WITH OUR
PETS.
WE HAVE TONS OF PICTURES OF
THEM ON OUR PHONES.
WHY NOT PAINT THEM?
WE HAVE MADDY WITH US THIS
MORNING.
GOOD MORNING.
Reporter: LET'S START WITH
THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE OVER
THE LAST HOUR.
WE CRUSHED IT.
WE DID A GREAT JOB.
THERE IS JUST A LITTLE BIT LEFT
TO DO.
LET'S SHOW EVERYONE THE BEFORE
PICTURE.
IT WAS JUST LINES AN HOUR AGO.
IT IS A CRAZY THING TO THINK
ABOUT.
IT IS LIKE CONNECT THE DOTS.
Reporter: HOW DID YOU COME
UP WITH THIS IDEA?
I HAVE BEEN TEACHING PAINT
AND SIP CLASSES.
I WANTED TO DO MORE ON SUBJECT
MATTERS PEOPLE LOVE.
WE ALL LOVE OUR DOGS.
I CAME UP WITH A CONCEPT TO
TRACE EVERYTHING ON THERE.
THE NOSE AND EYES AND EARS ARE
IN THE SAME SPOT.
IT MAKES IT A SUCCESSFUL
PRODUCT.
EVERYONE LOVES THE SUBJECT
MATTER.
Reporter: I WANT TO SHOW
EVERYBODY HOW THIS WORKS.
WE SENT YOU A COUPLE OF
PICTURES.
THIS IS MATT BRICKMAN'S DOG,
GUS.
WE HAVE MATT HERE WITH US.
THIS IS GUS.
Reporter: CONFIRMED.
THAT'S MY DOG.
Reporter: I STOLE THIS
PICTURE FROM YOUR WIFE'S
FACEBOOK PAGE.
THEN MADDY DID THIS.
EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS.
I EDITED THE PHOTO INTO
SHAPES.
LIKE THE IMAGE WITH THE RED AND
BLUE EFFECT.
WE USE THE DOG'S NATURAL
COLORS.
WE TRACE WITH A BALLPOINT PEN
AND CHARCOAL ON THE BACK ALL OF
THE LINES ON TO THE CANVASS.
THEN YOU PAINT IT.
IT IS PAINT BY NUMBERS.
Reporter: IT MADE IT SO
EASY.
YOU LABELED IT.
DO THEY ALL TURN OUT?
THAT'S MY QUESTION.
THERE HAVE TO BE BAD ARTISTS
THAT COME IN.
NO.
PEOPLE ARE GREAT.
SOME PEOPLE ADD SHADING AND
STUFF AND MAKE IT THEIR OWN.
Reporter: IT HELPS THAT GUS
IS A HANDSOME DOG.
SAY YOU HAVE SOMEBODY WITH A
PET SNAKE OR A GERBIL.
ARE THOSE DOABLE?
YES.
PURGELY I WOULD -- PERSONALLY,
I WOULD NOT HAVE A PET SNAKE.
Reporter: YOU GO AROUND TO
DIFFERENT BREWERIES.
HOW DOES THIS WORK?
I PARTNER WITH BREWERIES AND
HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS AND BARS
IN TOWN.
ALL SORTS OF PLACES.
I DO IN-HOME PRIVATE EVENTS
WITH BACHLORETTE PARTIES AND
LADY'S NIGHT.
I TRAVEL ALL OVER.
WHICH MAKES IT FUN.
I ALWAYS GET TO MEET COOL
PEOPLE.
Reporter: WHAT IS YOUR NEXT
ONE COMING UP?
APRIL 4th IS THE NEXT
AVAILABLE DATE.
YOU CAN FIND A LIST OF THE
EVENTS ON MY WEBSITE.
Reporter: WE'LL LINK THAT AT
WCCO.COM/LINKS.
YOU WERE SKEPTICAL, WHAT DO YOU
THINK?
Reporter: I'M BLOWN AWAY.
AS SOON AS IT DRIES, I'M TAKING
IT HOME.
TIFFS DISAPPOINTED NOT TO
SEE A PAINTED PICTURE OF MY
CAT.
IT HAS TO BE ABOUT YOU, KIM.
SORRY.
I'M GUESSING IT IS BECAUSE SHE
IS ONE COLOR.
