Petaluma Art Chicks
|
This series of posters, signs and stickers was designed in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Chick P is the original character and is emblematic of Petaluma's agricultural tradition. Petaluma is also the home of some feisty corvids and other amazing creatures.

Chick P
Chicks are super courageous. Small and delicate yet they have the strength inside them to break out of their shell into a great unknown world. A strange new universe filled with things never before seen or experienced.
|
Scrub J
Scrub Jays are the epitome of tenacity. They are inquisitive, focused and persistent. Assertive and vocal, they'll let you know what's up and when. Insurmountable odds are no worry for the jay. As giving up, is never an option for this clever and chatty bird of action!
|
Rave N
Ravens are resilient creatures. They are smart, playful and inventive. If they need a tool, they make it. If they see an opportunity, they take it. Ravens adapt to changing environments without ruffling a feather. There is no keeping a raven down!
|
Swall O
Barn swallows are joyful, agile and generous creatures. These aerial masters catch their food in mid-flight. Sharing and caring, they can be seen stopping by random nests to feed hungry young neighbors on their way home.
