Artiste

Hi, I'm Katherine!

I draw all of these birds by hand. Each one starts as a pencil sketch on paper, and then I color it in with alcohol markers. I draw wherever I happen to be, which could be on the couch listening to Dimension 20, on my patio enjoying the garden, or in a cafe looking like a madwoman surrounded by an absurd amount of markers.

There are 119 chubby birds (and their random treasures) so far. Some of them come out of whatever I'm feeling that day, and some of them I drew just because they seemed fun. A number came from requests and one or two are even based on friends of mine.

I made them into stickers because I wanted to be able to send them to people. Also because I received so many requests from people to make them into stickers after sharing my art. If one of them says something you were trying to say, that makes me happy.

Not all 119 are free. You start with 36, and unlocking the rest is one small purchase, once, with no subscription. Any time I draw a new bird I'll update the app and it will be added to your pack. Your purchase is what lets me keep drawing these, so if you decide to buy it, thank you. I really do appreciate it!

Love the flock?

Finch Friends is a tiny labor of love. If the birds make you smile, unlocking the full pack is the most direct way to support it. Sending one to somebody who needs it, and telling a friend where the flock lives, help just as much.

Got an idea for a sticker? A bird you wish existed? We'd genuinely love to hear it.
