and this gilded flicker was a commission. i loved painting his precious spots!

2 new fellas, and a reminder

 i can't get enough of these little chickadees, they are so adorable and fun to paint. the tiny sparrow below him is also pretty cute:

also, just to remind you, we'll be at parlay studios in jersey city this saturday to celebrate kanibal home's new upcycled clothing line - there will be an open bar, great food catered by local satis bistro, live music, and last but not least, a few of our little feathered friends!!!

this is a photo that a nice customer in california sent, of the three little birdies she bought all nicely framed and hung in their new home. don't they look so cozy and happy? :)

little white stags

these were done for an upcoming show, single fare; each one is on a new york city metrocard (tiny!). after the show, if they don't sell, i'll be adding them to our ETSY shop. if they do sell, well i'll just have to do some more!

 

this is the one i sold at last year's single fare show:
