Federal Duck Stamp Companion Species Artwork and Merch
I was commissioned by the Federal duck stamp office to do the artwork of the companion species (Northern Flicker) which is depicted on the back of the collecter sheetlet edition of the Federal Duck Stamp as well as on one of the first day of sale collector envelopes. These can be purchased while available from the following links:

I also have set up T-shirt and sweatshirt merch using one of the designs, along with the proclamation “I’m a Duck Stamp Companion Species Too!” Click here for merch store.
Federal Duck Stamp Entry 2025: "Silver and Gold"
My entry this year placed 11th out of 292 entries, my personal best. The painting will go on tour with the Federal Duck Stamp exhibit of top entries until late 2026.
I plan to make limited edition prints of this painting once it returns home and is available to be imaged at the high quality necessary for a faithful reproduction.
I currently anticipate a run of around 50 prints priced at around $50. If interested, sign up to be notified when prints are available – I’ll apply a 15% discounted price to anyone who signs up.
Biography
Adam Nisbett’s artistic passions have always followed a theme inspired by the leading verse of Psalm 19:
“The heavens declare the glory of God!”
Adam has had a fascination with birds since childhood, and so his artwork often features birds, but he also enjoys capturing landscapes and expressive light and shadow in his work.
Adam currently works primarily in oil painting in studio, but has enjoyed exploring learning in broader mediums and formats such as murals and plein air.
