Longshore is a favorite among A-list celebs such as Salma Hayek and Blake Lively.

She has released her fourth book, “Giving the Bird,” a collection of bird paintings.

We caught up with her at a book signing she hosted at her Soho gallery with her fashion buddy Christian Siriano, who was also hawking his latest book, “The New Red Carpet.”

The duo quipped that their dream collaboration would be, “making jock straps for Shawn Mendes.”

In the meantime, Longshore is preparing to head down to Miami for her first art fair next month after convincing AQUA Art to let her show Dec. 4 through Dec. 8.

And the art fair world is in for a treat, she promises.

She added she’s flipping the bird out of love. “I do it joyously… I don’t do it with anger. I do it because I work my ass off, and I’m going to down there and give them everything I got! They’re gonna be sorry,” she concluded.
