Bird Ninja July Newsletter

 July 2024

It has been a productive summer! Lots of art produced, lots of thoughts had, lets get into it.

Shop Update

I just updated my shop with everything I am bringing to GCX! If you can't make the show then this is your chance to get these prints and stickers before the show. I will keep the shop open while I am in Florida for GCX, here are the dates I will be dropping off orders at the post office. Monday the 12th is the last day I will be dropping orders before gcx, the next time I will be dropping off orders will be the 22nd. If you happen upon this newsletter, you're in luck! Use code: NEWSLETTER for 25% off. I appreciate you guys.

Monthly Sticker Club

I am starting a monthly art subscription where I send you art every month! This small, stamped envelope will cost contain an exclusive 3x3  sticker, a random sticker from my shop, and a small print that you can't find in my shop. There is no set theme, however art will stay within bird, landscape, or fantasy themes. If you like the idea of opening up an art surprise every month, then please go visit my ko-fi and pick a tier that best suites you. For the month of August the sticker will be of my house chicken, Puff.



GCX and the Charity Auction

As you know, I have been preparing for GCX all summer and I can finally say that I am ready with 2 weeks to spare. I will have 24 different 8x10 print designs and 20 different stickers at this show. I will also be bringing a TON of original art with me as well, both fan art and landscape paintings. One thing I am happy to announce is I will be taking part in the charity auction this year. I have 3 pieces that are nicely matted and ready to frame, and they will be auctioned off to raise funds for St. Jude's Children Hospital. When the time comes, please bid on these pieces and help us raise money for an amazing cause. 

What I'm working on

Avian August is finally upon us! I will be posting daily birds over on my social medias for the month of August. Now that I am done prepping for GCX, I can set my sights on new projects. I have a few commission pieces to get through, but then I want to work on some paintings relating to Elden Ring, the scenery in that game is so beautiful. Of course I will continue doing watercolors of Alaskan scenery, and from that make a wider selection of landscape print packs. I can also focus more on volume 2 of my bird guide as well! I have had the birds planned since March, and now I have the time to finally focus on them. In the background I have been slowly building the world where my comic takes place. 6 years later I am finally getting somewhere! More on that later.





It has been a productive summer and it is coming to an end way too quickly. I am not ready for the cold Alaskan nights quite yet. I hope you all have had a wonderful summer and I will check back in with you guys in September.
