at last

a new Bird (in Hat) is on the way - have your say

Hello there, valued Two Ruru art bird-hat enthusiast,

Here are some of the things that I've been working on, including the following weird little meme template that folks seem to be enjoying on social media.

👆🏾this is the meme template. feel very free to use it!

First, thank you so much for the response to my strange survey. A truly startling number of you rose to the challenge and gave equally strange answers, which I appreciated very much. (For a few lucky winners, I will be emailing you soon about sending out your free prints.)

Next item: I have created my first new products in a very long time!

The first is something fans have requested for ages:

Stickers!

They’re good for sticking for your laptop, or pretty much anywhere in your household that does not get wet. I've started with the smallest of the Birds in Hats, but if there's demand, I will make some stickers of the bigger birds as well.

Shirt that says “NO.”

I have also created a shirt that says "NO." In all honesty, I have only done this because I have always wanted a shirt that says "NO." But in the event that you have also always wanted this - just think of all of life’s problems that can now be resolved simply by pointing at your shirt! - then you are in luck.

A t-shirt that says "no." There is a cute bird (a fantail) on it that appears to be saying the no.
This shirt is available in a range of colours, not just this eggshell blue vibe.
Say “YES” to this shirt that says “NO.”

Next Bird?

Finally, I am, at last, ready to embark on a new bird painting and I have put together this little poll about what you think I should work on.

I am also toying with the idea of selling some of my original bird paintings. Believe it or not, I still have some left, mainly because I hadn't wanted to sell them until now. These are the ones I've still got kicking around:

For convenience, I snapped a picture of where the birds sit on my dresser. Morepilot is not for sale. John is just a print (want one? email me.) The shoes are for sale, I suppose, in the extremely unlikely event someone wants a portrait of my old shoes. Not pictured: Captain Falcon Falcon. Any Smash Bros fans out there?

If anyone wants to buy one, hit reply to this email and let me know.

I'm also thinking of treating my next bird painting like a commission, meaning a lucky someone can own it right out of the gate. If you’d like that someone to be you, then email me back and we’ll suss it.

That's all for now, but there is a lot more coming, including a new and very odd project I am looking forward to announcing properly soon. I really appreciate your patronage — thanks for sticking around for everything that's coming next.
