Overview
Calendar. Use it to track time. Stare at artwork of Yosemite. Wish you were in Yosemite. Go to Yosemite? Plan the trip on the calendar. Very useful. Very inspirational.
Hi! I’m Laura Hollingsworth, here to share some of my favorite Yosemite artwork.
I’m a self-taught freelance illustrator from Virginia. You may know me as the creator of The Silver Eye, a drawer of Narnia and Lunar Chronicles fanart, or just some random person on the internet. All of these things are true. Yes, all of them.
One of my favorite places in the world — and, therefore, one of my favorite things to draw — is Yosemite National Park.
Recently, my family has started to go on regular pilgrimages to this wonderful National Park. I’ve spent a lot of time studying this beautiful scenery, and now I want to share it with you.
In the 8.5"x11" wall calendar, you’ll find…
Traditional art.
Digital art.
Small, detailed moments.
Grand vistas.
Twelve months of studies for you to enjoy all year long.

Timeline:
This is my first crowdfunding campaign (wee!), but it isn’t my first rodeo in merchandising. I run The Silver Eye Etsy shop, where I’ve filled over 500 orders and have a 5-star rating. I've done calendars like this every year for four years. Additionally, in the last decade I’ve contracted and completed hundreds of commissions with individual clients. My goal is always to provide an excellent, beautiful product in a timely manner.
I’ve done my very best to make sure all of this runs smoothly. In previous years, I’ve used this same manufacturer for smaller orders, so I know their quality will be good.
Shipping will begin as soon as the campaign ends. The goal is to get these to you by Christmas, but I can’t make any guarantees. I haven’t yet fully mastered control of the postal service or the weather, so there may be unexpected delays.
Please note that I’ll be shipping from the US. If you live overseas, the journey from my house to yours will be longer and slower. Please take that into account when you make your purchase.
