Added a couple more things to my Last Chance print sale! Anything in this collection is Buy 2, Get 2 with code TURKEYS: brandonbird.myshopify.com/collections/...

One of my favorite works this year was this illustration of a pigeon on a hero's journey, commissioned by my MFA program as this year's student/staff shirt. I later made a risograph print of the image!

Here's a few more of this year's puzzle commissions! Thanks to all who have supported my crazy little business during this crazy year! If you're interested in a custom handmade wooden puzzle for 2026, don't hesitate to reach out :)

I’m homebound and very sore for the holidays, due to slipping on my icy driveway and giving my ribs a good smack on the concrete. At least I have been able to catch up on some important work in the Lego room. Hope folks have a decent Xmas, despite whatever life throws at you!

Meanwhile, in Sweden, they are building a huge Christmas goat, out of straw. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%A4...

FXCollaborative’s Ministry of Taxes Tower in Baku, engineered by Thornton Tomasetti, features spiraling, stacked cubes—symbolizing rising tax brackets. This bold, vertigo-inducing monument to bureaucracy blends dramatic design with green terraces and sweeping city vistas.

You can find this whole special on YouTube and it is my absolute favorite holiday special. My sisters and I quote it all the time. The Fraggle Rock song is great. The humor is repeatedly topnotch. The whole thing is perfect. Can't recommend enough.

Baffler #5111 "Wormhole Maintenance" This was a really fun 2-layer commission from earlier this year!

The Fifth Element (1997): Art by Jean 'Moebius' Giraud "Collaborating on a project with a team is a shared effort and a constant stimulation. There is a “reassuring” side to working for someone; I find it less stressful. Basically, you’re not alone."

I commissioned this to propose to my girlfriend (she said yes!)

"Found In Translation" 490 pcs., 15"x15"x1", 2 layers, D: 9.8/10 - this was the trickiest puzzle commission of the year, hands down. I am pretty good at cutting weird tiny shapes but doing 200+ hieroglyph drop-outs and keeping all the surrounding pieces nice and connected was a real challenge.
