Great horned owl and Orion the Hunter 3-inch waterproof sticker is digitally printed using pigment inks on sturdy, but flexible vinyl. The sticker is then laminated with a glossy lamination sheet to provide added durabilty and enhanced resistance to fading. Fine art print settings are used to produce these stickers so expect a sharp image in full color with lots of fine detail. Perfect for any smooth surface, including your water bottle, kayak, bumper, laptop, or notebook.

Delivery. I mail single stickers in an envelope with a first class stamp and no tracking. Multiple stickers may be shipped in a stiffened mailer with or without tracking.

About the art. I created this powerful owl piece, titled Dreams of the Hunt, using a photo of Phoenix, the great horned owl at Deep Creek Lake State Park Aviary in western Maryland, who is blind in one eye. This artwork suggests an eye that incorporates eight fully blind owls with an image of Phoenix’s good eye at center. The constellation Orion the Hunter glows in the blind owl’s “mind’s eye”.

Phoenix, like his fiery namesake, rose from the ashes of his old life to be reborn an ambassador at the aviary. He was found with a badly broken wing, a damaged beak, and a swollen eye. After losing the sight in his eye, Phoenix was no longer able to hunt and was deemed non-releasable. The great horned is the heaviest owl in North America and hunts small to medium sized mammals, birds, and reptiles out and about in forest or field at night. It’s at night, too, that you’ll hear the great horned owl’s distinctive deep hoots.
