The 2021 Outer Coast Calendar is now available from my website, www.theoutercoast.com, at stores in Sitka, and at bookstores in Alaska and a few select places in the North West.
The Outer Coast calendar, Sitka note cards, and original art are also great gifts, and I can mail directly, with a note, and even with gift wrap if you desire.
I am also at the Alaska Public Market On Line! This is a great way to support artisans and craftspeople in these crazy times!
I also have original wood engraving prints which I can mat and frame, a gift wrap option, and notecards, sold as singles and as sets. And, you can now also buy an 8 x 10 reproduction of any of the watercolor pictures, just contact me through the website or comment on this blog.
Calendars are printed in color on heavy, vellum-surface Natural colored paper by Alaska Litho in Juneau, Alaska U.S.A.
This calendar features my original art (and this year, one by my brother James), poetry by Alaskans and other greats, gardening reminders for southeastern Alaska, and wilderness anniversaries. It opens out to 11 x 17 inches (8 1/2 by 11 closed), has a handy hole for hanging, and, has complete year of 2022 on the last page. The price is $15 but there are discounts starting at two.
This year’s calendar is built around the theme of falling forward into life.
Poetry includes lines from Issa, Whitman, Emerson and Shakespeare.
This calendar also features work by Alaska writerJohn Straley, novelist and poet, and beautiful, new work by Caroline Goodwin.

This year’s calendar is built around the theme of imperfection – nobody’s perfect, and that’s ok.
Poetry includes lines from William Wordsworth, Shakespeare, and Beat poet Lew Welch (1926-1971).
This calendar also features work by John Straley, novelist and poet, and some beautiful, inspiring work by Caroline Goodwin.
I will soon be adding an article, explaining what this case was about, that denied the right of children to attend school if they lived in the Native area of Sitka. Davis Case Testimony
This file contains the testimony taken at Sitka in 1906, as to whether or not the plaintiffs – children of “mixed blood,” were or were not “civilized.”
It’s here! You can buy on line, or from stores in Alaska and beyond, in Washington, Oregon, and Idaho!
More about the calendar, as well as original prints and notecards, the order form and more are at my website The Outer Coast (theoutercoast.com).
I’ve published the calendar since 1995, and in full color since 2008.
I am very proud of it being printed in the United States, in fact in Juneau, Alaska, at the employee-owned Alaska Litho.
Here is a slide show of the other images in the calendar. The poetry and quotes are by Alaskan poets Caroline Goodwin, John Straley, Pete Weiland, young poet Anja Brooks-Schmidt, with classic lines from Ralph Waldo Emerson, Edward Lear, William Wordsworth, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and Walt Whitman, on a theme of being in the moment.
I think it’s the best yet, but I always think that. Enjoy.
