“Sweet Dreams (ruru)” is dedicated to all the insomniacs in the world. Our tiny owl, also known as the morepork, has a lovely call that I find comforting in the middle of the night. She’s raising funds for Forest & Bird with a 10% donation.
Limited-edition archival fine-art prints of the artwork are available.
Where possible, orders will be sent by regular untracked post so you may also receive a cancelled personalized stamp, if one is available in the correct denomination. No promises, but I'll do my best. If you prefer tracked-courier, please be sure to upgrade to that option when you check out (NZ only - for overseas customers requiring tracked courier, please get in touch first so I can give you the best rate).
