The official Kayla Reay collection, printed by us in Sydney. Kayla is an Australian artist who draws birds the way birds actually are: full of personality, quietly hilarious, and each one clearly up to something. Working in coloured pencil from the Illawarra, she's built a devoted following for artwork that captures the character of Australian birdlife, and this official collab brings that work to tees.
If you've spent any time at Lonely Kids Club you know we're a bird brand at heart, and Kayla's work is bird art at its finest. Every piece starts by hand with coloured pencils, no shortcuts, no AI, just an artist who has clearly spent a lot of time watching magpies make decisions. The result is designs that bird people recognise instantly as the real thing: not generic bird silhouettes, but portraits of personalities.
Because this is an official collaboration, Kayla is supported with every sale, which is how all our artist partnerships work. Her designs are printed to order in our Sydney studio on ethically sourced blanks, in sizes XS to 5XL on most products with gender neutral fits.
Orders usually dispatch within seven working days, Australian shipping is free over $85, and most products carry our 100-day returns policy. Bird art tees also happen to be elite gifts for the birdwatcher, garden-defender or magpie-respecter in your life.
If Kayla's work opens the aviary door for you, our full bird collection runs very deep (including the magpie collection, yes we have a whole magpie collection), and the Australiana designs cover the rest of this strange continent's cast.
Is this an official collaboration?
Yes. Kayla is involved and supported with every order, and every design starts as a hand-drawn coloured pencil artwork.
