We headed out for a bunch of little hikes among the peaks of the Lassics, which tend to feature in the minds of the outdoorsy locals because they can be seen from so many places.

Tomorrow is the Humboldt Artisans Craft and Music Festival here in Eureka, CA in northern California.

I’m a vendor this time, and I’ve never done it before. I’m nervous. It’s three days long, and I’m hoping I have enough stock. I’m lucky in that I can print things each night here in my own studio if I run out a particular item, but it’s still going to be a long weekend.

Should be cool—they turn off the lights, so it’s all wintery and fun. All the vendors have to have their own lighting. And there’s holiday music in each of the three buildings, so It’ll be nice. My building apparently has electrical and heating issues, so I’m a tad concerned about that, but I use my own battery, so I should be okay.

I’ll be selling some new holiday greeting cards along with all my other stuff, as well as my new 2026 Bird Calendar, so I’ll have seasonal stuff that’s appropriate.

Wish me luck!

I’m proud to announce my 2026 Redwood Coast Birds calendar is available for purchase on my shop! It’s a 7x10” flip calendar with a stylized list of dates that really get out of the way of the beautiful bird imagery. It’s essentially a collection of twelve mini-prints, perfect for one’s office or rooms with little wall space.

Each bird can be seen on the Redwood Coast here in the Pacific Northwest in the US, but especially here in Humboldt County. Most of the illustrations were requested by patrons who visited my booth over the summer, asking if I could do specific birds because they had connections to them or stories they cherished.

This is a deeply personal collection for me. It is the beginning of my connection to the residents of my new community to which I moved at the beginning of the year.
