BIRDTOBER 2026

Artist Trading Card Edition

Throughout October, I’m painting 36 original Australian bird artist trading cards in watercolour and gouache on cotton paper. Each bird is released through a daily 24-hour auction on Instagram at @jonnyanthonyart, giving collectors the chance to bid on and own a unique, hand-painted original.

Follow the auctions, find your favourite birds and start building your collection! Limited-edition fine art prints will also be available later in the month, so you won't miss out on bringing a little piece of Australia's extraordinary birdlife home.
