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.
