Mock up of Tree Swallow, Pink-necked Green Pigeon, California Condor, Boreal Chickadee, Pine Grosbeak, and Common Loon stickers.
I'm creating vinyl stickers of my favorite drawings from the 2025 Birdtober challenge! Birdtober is a daily creation challenge run in October and I drew 31 birds from around the world using pen and alcohol-based markers.
The initial goal will fund the printing costs for the Boreal Chickadee, California Condor, Pine Grosbeak, Pink-necked Green-Pigeon, Tree Swallow, and Common Loon designs.
Early Bird Incentive If you back the campaign in the first 48 hours, you will get a free Turkey Vulture sticker! This a bonus drawing I did outside of Birdtober as a companion piece to the California Condor. The Turkey Vulture will be available as a sticker choice for all pledges, in case you miss the Early Bird Incentive.

Turkey Vultures played a critical role in California Condor. Scientists studied captive Turkey Vultures to gain insights on how to rear condor chicks in captivity and how to tag and track released condors.

Get a Loon Sticker, Support Families in the Twin Cities!
Marker drawing of a Common Loon rearing up
This winter, Operation Metro Surge devastated vulnerable immigrant families in the Twin Cities. As an artist living in Minneapolis, I was heartened by how our community stepped up and helped support each other. Our State Bird became a symbol of our resistance and mutual aid efforts. I will be donating all proceeds after manufacturing costs from my Common Loon sticker and other loon products on my webstore to The Wilson Foundation, a rent relief fund to support those whose lives were most disrupted.
Marker drawing of a Boreal Chickadee
Boreal Chickadee: This diminutive specialist of Boreal coniferous forests is much more difficult for birdwatchers to spot than other more gregarious chickadee species.
Marker portrait of a California Condor
California Condor: The largest bird of North America faced extinction when the wild population fell to 22 in the 1980s. Thanks to enormous conservation efforts, there are now around 300 free-flying condors in the wild, but they are still critically endangered. Like all scavengers, condors are vital to the health of the ecosystem.
Marker drawing of a Pine Grosbeak
Pine Grosbeak: I chose Pine Grosbeak as the Artist's Choice prompt, as they are one of my favorite species found in Minnesota. These large finches are known for their irruptive migration, which are unpredictable, large-scale movements based on food availability rather than length of day. Pine Grosbeaks are relatively unafraid of humans.
Marker drawing of a Pink-necked Green Pigeon
Pink-necked Green-Pigeon: These sherbet-colored pigeons live in Southeast Asia and are important fruit seed dispersers. They have a unique bi-colored iris of vivid blue and pink.
Marker drawing of a Tree Swallow
Tree Swallow: These swallows are abundant across North America and nest in tree hollows or man-made nest boxes.
Marker drawing of a Common Loon
Common Loon: These elegant birds spend most of their life on water and can move like a submarine to catch fish.

I'm Annie, I’m a traditional artist and a huge bird nerd! I was first taught traditional Chinese watercolor painting in 2006, and over the decades I have built my unique art style incorporating Chinese and self-taught techniques. I work with watercolor, markers, colored pencil and more to capture my love for nature and birds.
If this campaign funds, you will receive a survey after it ends to choose your stickers and make any changes to your order. Once I have all of those, I will put in the sticker order. It will take 10-20 business days to print the stickers. Once I receive the stickers, I will package all the orders, which I estimate will take a week depending on my schedule. Then, the stickers will be mailed to you via regular post! I estimate delivery will be in July 2026.
Shipping and handling and sales taxes will be charged in the pledge manager before fulfillment. For US orders, I estimate $1-2, plus sales tax. For Canadian orders, I estimate $2-6.
