Art Created for Local Businesses
Enjoy a trip through the years as these works of art took shape in Byrdcall Studio.
Custom Painted Murals
Custom Painted Murals
Wall murals are a great way to make your home or office totally unique and inspiring for YOU! I use water-based and washable interior house paints of the highest quality.
Note: Sorry for the tease, but my mural painting days are over as “rya” has taken over most of my life now.… but in the meantime, feel free to enjoy the murals and signs in the slide show below.

Hand Painted Glassware
Hand Painted Glassware
Don’t ask me why, but I fell in love with painting on glass. I guess I like a challenge and I like to amaze people. To this day, I get frequent requests for glass painting. What I offer now in my glass painting is a chance for you to look through these past works and enjoy.
Hand-Printed Shirts
I have designed and carved almost 30 different images in wood or linoleum which I have available on paper for framing. But I also have printed on high quality 100% cotton shirts. In recent years I did shows where I brought hundreds of hand-printed shirts from which you could choose your design, size, color, and style. Now that I am focused on the rya rugs, I am no longer printing shirts, but I still have MANY shirts available in a basket for every size with a selection of designs and colors. At this point I can not guarantee all designs in all sizes and colors. The best way find what is available is to go to my Etsy shop. In my Byrdcall Etsy shop I show the shirt images by design or size, and photograph the available shirts. You can use a dropdown menu to select the actual shirt you will receive–and when they are gone, they are gone.
Paintings
When I paint for myself, I paint what comes from within. Sometimes it is a detail image of something I find to have beauty, and sometimes it is abstract.

Woodcuts & Linocuts
This is one category where you can be pretty sure I can still help you out if you would like to buy a print. My prints all come in limited editions of 25 or 50 hand-rubbed prints, so odds are I do have a print on fine art quality paper waiting for your request. I just love the sharp contrast between black and white. Return to this page often because I have been quite prolific in carving these images. A “woodcut” is an image which I carve into the surface of a piece of wood. I roll ink onto the carved surface, then press and burnish the image onto paper or fabric with a wooden spoon.
The areas which are carved away will not touch the ink, while the areas not carved become the black design on the white surface. A “linocut” is the very same thing except the image is carved into a piece of linoleum.
