How it’s Made
These birds were part of a series of 100 that I did over the summer and fall of 2023. I had always intended them to be greeting cards, but after a while I realized I'd have to mix things up because they were starting to feel stoic and stilted sometimes. Being a theatrical costume designer, I thought it might be fun to illustrate some of them with anachronistic hats and accessories completely out of context of the bird.
And my line of Cheeky Chirps was born.
I have an entire list of different hats I want to put on these little ones. Some of them get scarves and winter mufflers, some of them get occupational attire. But overall, each of them is charming and clever and witty in their own way.

This set is the first of many! And I'm happy to create my first set of cards with a specific Birthday theme! These were all done digitally, in the app Procreate, on my 12.9" M1 iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil. I print them individually as they're ordered using my own in-studio printer, a Canon Pixma Pro 200, which has an 8-color dye-based ink that really makes hues and detail pop! Then I package them up and send them to you!
Tell your friends Happy Birthday for me!
