  Birdie Sanders!   Trippy!    - Mittens Meme Bernie and Acid trip not necessarily included.

  Birdie Sanders in the House!  - Well, technically when it comes to Bernie himself he's more so been in the Senate for quite a while now.  But here at Just Say Gnome we're just starting to offer a sculpture of this most heroic avian Progressive Social Birdocrat!

  He's available either painted or unpainted.  And actually there's' even a couple of variations of how detailed his painting can be.    Prices vary depending upon how detailed the painting is.

  Immediately below you'll find the details on all of that - and then, if you're interested, you can scroll a little further down to learn more about the Legend of Birdie Sanders!

The Legend of Birdie Sanders!

   Back in March of  2016 - not long after Senator Sanders had really started attracting national attention for his run for US President as a Democratic Socialist he had a surprising visitor during his speech at a huge rally in the Moda center here in Portland Oregon.   Original Birdie had already been hanging out on the stage  beginning to get attention from the audience - but then when Bernie noticed his little avian admirer and started talking about him, Birdie suddenly jumped up and landed right in front of Bernie on the Senator's podium - hanging out with him for a while before taking off!  (check out the video of the real time event below)


   - and though I'm not clear on what Birdie himself was tweeting [ here's Bernie's Tweet about the event ].


  The incident of course inspired a minor but still impressive Meme storm.  ( though it can't quite compare with the Bernie-in-Mittens meme - it was still quite something for that point in time in the early Meme Era. 

 [ - and just to be clear I or rather us here at Just Say Gnome didn't create any of these images.  They're done by various talented artists whose work can be found through a basic Google search.  I've just gathered them all up here for your edutainment.  Some of the artist names are included in the image - and if anyone has anymore information about their authorship please feel free to pass that one to us and we'll include it as a caption under the image.  Thanks                                                                                             ]

  - and while many creators of Birdie art memes embraced Bernie's interpretation of Birdie as representing the dove of peace - others took their memes in more militant directions:

      And then of course there was the whole Snow White / Bernie thing!  
   I really don't know quite what to say about that.  but I strangely kinda like it...

  And Birdie became more of a general symbol of the Sanders campaign too:  and as we'll see soon one particular Birdie image even became a standard icon on Senator Sanders' main website.

   Then there were the look-alike images.  Apparently based on a real bird photo or two.  and maybe some of them on imagination too. : )

   And I think these Bald Eagle - Bernie images were even from before the 'Birdie Event'!

   And then there were the cartoonified images of Birdie himself(?) - and as you can see there have been several versions:

   But ultimately the image that really stuck and caught on the most seems to be this - the classic 'Birdie' image.  Bernie even seems to have adopted it as his official symbolic Birdie representation - featuring  the image  on the tab above  the URL of his website!:

  So this modern classic image of Birdie is the one we mainly tried to stay true to in sculpting the Just Say Gnome version of Birdie Sanders.

    *  [ I haven't yet found who illustrated that classic image but if you know please do pass on the info  so we can give the artist credit here too.  Thanks!   ]
