Meet Blue Benny. He’s all electric-blue feathers and side-eye, with a big curved yellow beak and a mane that looks like he just rolled out of bed. Against a warm, weathered brown background, that blue practically glows.

Painted by hand in acrylic with loose, feathery strokes, Benny is part of my little family of whimsical birds — each one with its own funny face and mood. There’s real character in him; people tend to name the feeling on his face the second they see it.

He’s a great fit for a kid’s room, a reading nook, a home office that could use a laugh, or a gallery wall alongside the other birds in the series. If you love art with a sense of humor, he’ll feel right at home.

Every bird in this series traces back to my grandfather, Dave Coleman — a Seattle jazz drummer who painted birds his whole life. Read the story →
