About this Product
This compact, one-of-a-kind calendar features a dozen birds found along the Redwood Coast of the Pacific Northwest of the US. The majority of the birds were suggestions made by visitors to the Coreyartus Imagery art vending booth various fairs and festivals in Humboldt County. Many people proffered suggestions for local birds that thought might look nice as an illustrated greeting card or print. So many new friends had bird stories of their own, or special connections to specific birds they held near and dear to their hearts.
Done by hand without the assistance of AI-image generators, each page was drawn and painted stroke by stroke in Procreate on an Apple iPad. No tracing and no photo filters. Just a lot of heart. Intended to focus on the artwork, these calendars are essentially a collection of small prints to hang in your office, cubicle, kitchen, or wherever you need the presence of a friendly avian! The birds include: a yellow-rumped warbler on the cover, a Marbled Godwit, a Raven, an Osprey, a Northern Spotted Owl, a California Brown Pelican, a Steller's Jay, a California Quail, a Heron, a Black Phoebe, a Red-Shouldered Hawk, a Cedar Waxwing, and a Fox Sparrow.
This art calendar measures 7 inches wide by 10 inches tall, and displays each page as a full print, with a list calendar along the side. White wire coils and a wire suspension hanger loop at the top accommodate the flip of each page instead of center-fold staples or plastic spirals, richly elevating the look and feel of the calendar.
Each page is printed on double-sided 215gsm professional matte photo paper using a professional 8-color print system. Intended for prints, this 80lb paper allows you to annotate your calendar easily with a pencil, pens, and markers. The matte surface is both unique and elegant, giving it a stylistic flavor that is quite different from the high-gloss reflective look of mass-produced commercially printed calendars. The paper enhances the deep and richly saturated colors of each print. Each page is printed front and back in the studio and assembled by the artist, resulting in a lightweight 7-page calendar plus cover that would look good in any home or office.
SPECIAL BONUS! When you purchase the calendar, you also receive downloadable versions of each image that can be used as smartphone and tablet wallpapers! All twelve bird illustrations are vertically formatted for use as a background image on a phone and horizontally for tablets. Change your wallpapers to match the weather of the month or select and choose a different image depending on your preferences and mood throughout the year. A special gift you can share with your family, friends and colleagues. Perfect as a Christmas gift, New Year gifts or Birthday presents. Everyone will thank you all year long for this thoughtful gift. A calendar is an ideal gift for someone who is hard to buy for, and it’s a great last-minute gift idea.

“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it." - C.S. Lewis
How it’s Made
Each image of this calendar was done by hand in the app Procreate on an iPad Pro using an Apple Pencil. They were suggestions made by patrons who visited my shop during the summer and fall of 2025, my first year after relocating to my new home in Humboldt County in northern California from my home of thirty years in San Diego. It was a tough transition, but the right one. I met a lot of new friends and made a lot of networking connections.
As I told my story of why I moved north and how much I loved the area, folks would tell me stories of the connections they had to specific birds in their lives. Some had spiritual connections, some had fun little tales, some had deeply meaningful moments they shared with me that associated birds with their loved ones. I met conservationists, forestry students, park workers, animal care specialists, and hundreds of birders who simply enjoyed the outdoors and discovering new flying friends.
Because I work quickly and try to complete a new image every week, I was able to respond and create new pieces from suggestions I felt might speak to others, too. It was a joy to see the light in their eyes when they circled back to my booth weeks later to see their suggestion come to life!
This calendar is a culmination of that spirit, that wonder, that friendly attitude and welcoming gesture that I felt in 2025.
I have most of the images saved as livestream presentations and speedpaints that you can find on my video page on MakerTube.net. Here's the speedpaint playlist of many of the images, as well as additional ones of local Humboldt County birds not included in the calendar itself:
