My 2022 calendars and planners are out now! Published by @andrewsmcmeelbooks and featuring artwork from my book Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers. Here’s a few photos featuring my favorite things about them, from the bouquets in the calendar to the beautiful Smythe sewn binding on the planner (a unique feature that lets the pages lay flat AND eliminates the need for a plastic spiral). Speaking of plastic, there’s none in the calendar, planner, or packaging, and they are printed on uncoated paper sourced from FSC sustainable forests with soy-based inks. You can find them anywhere that sells books, from Bookshop, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, BAM, Book Depository, and more, and in my own shop.
Miles from Nowhere, a new can illustration for Heirloom Rustic Ales.
A few more illustrations for Orgabon! The penguins might just be my favorite of everything I’ve drawn for them.

A spooky wine label for an Heirloom Rustic Ales collab with Poscalora! This one is called Behold the Ghosts. The windows in which ghostly figures appear were printed transparent, so the ghosts only appear on the bottle as the wine empties. The second (admittedly rough) gif is how I pitched the idea, and I’m so glad they went for it!
My 2022 calendar and planner are available to preorder! They are Floriography themed, and you can find them through your favorite indie book store, as well as through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Booksamillion, Bookshop, BookDepository (if you’re outside the US this is a great resource) and any of your other favorite places to get books.

SALUT 6 opens at 10 AM PST today online at Nucleus Portland! I painted these three coasters, each priced at $65, along with so many other talented artists and illustrators. This is a rare chance to own a color original from me, since I hardly ever paint traditionally. Check it out!
I’m so excited to share my 2022 calendar… Floriography: Secret Meaning of Flowers! And, even more exciting, there will be a Floriography 2022 planner! Both are available for preorder now from your favorite booksellers. It has been a dream come true to work with @andrewsmcmeelbooks on these. They are made from 100% recyclable materials with no plastic in the product or packaging, with soy-based inks and paper sourced from FSC sustainable forests. Both feature full-color artwork from my book, Floriography: An Illustrated Guide to the Victorian Language of Flowers. They’ll be released September 14th, but preorders are SO helpful and important to authors and artists like myself. It makes sure the publisher is able to make enough for everyone who wants one, and it boosts the rank of the calendar and planner so more people can find it (and my work!) So if you typically buy a calendar from me and want to check this out early, a preorder is a fantastic way to support my work and make sure you’ll get one when they come out. I’m SO excited about these, and I really hope you are, too!
I illustrated the cover and a few interior spots for The Bread Baker’s Notebook, coming soon from Princeton Architectural Press!
