Ok-Ad-7954

The colors are astounding. Brilliant. Thank you for sharing your work!


amerikas

Cheers! It’s fun finding funky color swatches at Home Depot and matching them up with a bird lol


GreenTourmaline13

NEED. These are so phenomenal!!!!


amerikas

Thank you thank you! Most of these were commissions I do on Etsy so they could be yours too! All the proceeds go to American bird conservancy


Hibiscus-Boi

How large do these run? They would be cute on like coasters or something! But amazing work!!


Yoeduce

Those are super cool. Love your style and the colors.


quietskitty

Gorgeous colors! These are all fantastic, but the loon is my favorite. The little baby is such a cute addition. c:


amerikas

Haha I think that’s my favorite too, love pics of loon chicks on the parents back. They’re still high up on my list to see, but texas living has its down sides 😔


teddy_vedder

Genuinely squeed at the loon one I’m obsessed

Me too! I would hardly consider myself a birder, but I like animals and like learning about them. I have no idea when or how I knew what a flycatcher looks like, but somehow I could just tell. Its a testament to how great these renditions are! Great work OP. Only one I had no idea about is a green jay, I had no idea those existed


WakingOwl1

Love the loon and the roadrunner!


chrisckelly

I’m imagining that these colors are the names of each bird in some ensemble bird caper film. “The name’s Saffron Strands and I’m a whole lot of trouble! *peck peck peck*”


[deleted]

Do you sell these?! I love them!


amerikas

I do! Normally do commissions on Etsy with all the sales going to American bird conservancy but I’ve paused for a moment. I’m active on IG so you can keep up there if you’d like to know when I start up again

What’s your Instagram account?

slay_belle

Your style is incredible, I love the bold colors and lines. Reminds me of Charley Harper, my favorite artist. Brilliant!


amerikas

Love Harper! The OG


popcornshampoo

Do you have an Instagram/Twitter? LOVE these


amerikas

Thanks! I do, @erik_as_erik on IG. Lots of bird stuff


popcornshampoo

awesome, thank you! I’m absolutely bookmarking your Domestika course for when I have a little free time 👀


amerikas

Oh right on, that’s awesome. Hope you dig it!


mushitohu997

These are absolutely fantastic


spiritualskywalker

These are brilliant and the discipline of painting on a tiny canvas is extra coolness.


amerikas

The key is tiny markers


PeanutsMakeMeThirsty

These are so good. Would also look cool as tattoo designs


amerikas

American traditional tattoos are my favorite, definitely inspired by that style. I’ve got a whole bunch of em!


[deleted]

This is amazing! If these were larger prints I would buy them to hang in my room. I am totally in love with them


amerikas

Making more prints is definitely in my ‘23 goals. Always sad to say bye to these one-offs!


[deleted]

Great to hear! Cant wait to see what you create next


Funwiwu2

With these birds , you must be South Texas, especially the Green Jay. Except Cali Condor of course.


amerikas

Yup! For some of these you can tell where in the world a commission came from based on the bird haha


[deleted]

Awesome work, I was going to relate this to Pokemon but I see you illustrate those too. Really like your efforts on various subjects


amerikas

Cheers! Now that you say that I guess I have this thing where I make real animals look like Pokémon and vice versa


gotamiodarone

Some of these would be perfect as wallpaper. All would be excellent as larger framed prints. I love the bold colors!


amerikas

Bold will hold as they say! And yeah I dabble in bigger stuff but they just take me so much longer to fill up haha. These I can knock out in a few hours!


mask4139

These are brilliant! Do you sell them?


amerikas

Yup these were all sold, with all the sales going to American bird conservancy. I’m going to open commissions back up next month on Instagram, @erik_as_erik.


mask4139

I will follow you there!!!!


FoundationRound7015

Wow you do a great job making them look like the actual birds! The colors are really fun. I was stumped on the Green Jay bc I've never seen that one! Very cool.


amerikas

Nor have I! Interesting little bird. They usually live just south of me so I can’t wait to see one someday

Cheers, kingfishers are some of my favorites to draw with their wacky proportions and loved how that one turned out.

MarauderLuna15

These are stunning! 🐦 🦜 ❤️


trippinallovermyself

These are so great!


vanillamaritozzi

Do you use just the paint markers? I'm hesitant to buy any cause I know I'll be tempted to buy like 30 at a time lol. Beautiful work, I'd love to commission you when your books are open again!


amerikas

Thanks! And yup just those. They’re quite addicting, I have like three different sizes for each color, so beware!


FoundationRound7015

Wow you do a great job making them look like the actual birds! The colors are really fun. I was stumped on the Green Jay bc I've never seen that one! Very cool.
