Look at this cheeky little shit.
As soon as I painted his face he told me in no uncertain terms that his name was Marigold and he was going to be a new character of mine whether I liked it or not.
I said okay but he still had to wish everyone a Happy New Year.
The original idea for this was a little joke on the dozens of bird-related holiday cards I've received over the years. He's not based on any particular species but I primarily took inspiration from chickadees, sparrows, and birds of paradise. Naturally the phoenix is the symbol of rebirth, like buds in the snow, for New Years.
Hope everyone enjoyed their cards.
