Shop: Scissor-tailed Flycatcher by JP Brammer, on a mug

About the Design

For every issue of Audubon magazine, we highlight artists who are motivated to educate and inspire people to take action on behalf of birds. Artist JP Brammer felt the Scissor-tailed Flycatcher's dance-like pose evokes the vivacity of Native American powwows hosted by Comanche and Kiowa tribes, which Brammer relished attending as a kid. “You can’t help but be transfixed by all the regalia, all the colors, the way they move,” he says. “It’s hugely inspirational if you’re an artist.”

Audubon’s earnings from products featuring JP Brammer's artwork support Audubon’s own internal affinity groups who support and champion people of color, people with disabilities, and people who identify as women or LGBTQIA++, all of whom are committed to the values of equity, diversity, inclusion & belonging.
