Pre-orders have now closed. You can expect your calendars to arrive sometime in October, keep an eye on your emails for the tracking! Thank you so much for your support! 

If you missed out, I have listed a limited quantity on my website, and I also have some lovely stockists who will be stocking them from early October.

Hello! My name is Ingrid, I’m an Australian illustrator and artist and I’m launching pre-orders for my 2026 illustrated wall calendar - this year the theme is 'from Dusk to Dawn'. We'll be visually exploring what comes to life in the natural world when the sun goes down - flying foxes, bioluminescent fungi, turtles hatching and more!  

If you’ve supported this project in the past then, thank you and welcome back to another art filled calendar year. Or, if this is the first you’ve seen of my work, I hope you’ll enjoy joining the journey!

About the Project:

The artworks in this calendar are completely hand painted in watercolour and gouache. My hope is that the paintings in this calendar can act as a way to spark interest and learn more about (and appreciate!) some of the incredible flora, fauna and fungi we have on this planet, and why it’s important to preserve its biodiversity. There will also be a QR code included on the back which links to more information about themes explored in each painting. 

$1 of each sale of this calendar will be donated to environmental organisations chosen by you, the supporters of this project! Once fully funded, I'll be taking your votes for where the donations will go.

The details:

• Quality printed on lush 300gsm recycled paper in Australia
• 2 x A4 pages sitting portrait, silver wire spiral bound with hanging holes
• Note lines to add any thoughts or 'to dos' you may have for the month
• All major Australian public holidays listed within the wall calendar 
• Nature and artwork facts included on each page
• Week starts on 'Monday'
• Your orders will packaged with the environment in mind
• Please note: images included on this page are mock ups only, slight changes may occur in the final. Colours may vary slightly to what you see on your monitor. 

Some of the 'dusk to dawn' topics explored are:

• Bioluminescent fungi
• Turtles hatching

How to order?

Pozible is a crowdfunding platform, so it's a little different to a usual online shop. It helps me to fund the intial cost of printing as well as create a little community for this project! Pozible calls orders 'pledges' and products are 'rewards'. Use the rewards selections on the right to choose what package you would like to receive.

If you're confused about the 'or more' text - this just refers the ability to pledge more than what your 'reward' costs. Pozible makes this an option in the case that you'd like to provide additional financial support to the project or artist. This is of course totally optional!

I know that crowdfunding isn't familiar to everyone, so if you're having any issues navigating the platform, reach out!

Estimated Timeline:

• Mid-late September: The calendars will be sent off to printing!
• Early-mid October: I'll be posting out your orders 
• Mid-late October: Your orders should start arriving!
  
  

You'll be updated along the way via this platform.

Update 14/10/25: Most orders should have been out the door by the end of today (the 14th). There are a handful of gift wrapped orders that I'm waiting on a top up of wrapping paper for (the printers had a machinery breakdown, hence the delay). Thanks for your understanding!

PLEASE NOTE: Australia Post sometimes experience delays. Please always check their site for updates. 

Sent with parcel post:

Within QLD: 2-4 business days estimated delivery
Interstate: 3-6 business days estimated delivery

Goal 1: $1,500

The main upfront cost associated with this project is printing. Your pre-orders will help aid in that upfront cost, whilst also spreading the word! I've set the first goal at $1,500 as I think we can achieve this together!

Once this goal has been reached, I'll open voting for which environmental organisation we donate to ($1 of each sale of this calendar will be donated).

Goal 2: $4,000

If we reach $4,000 then, wow thank you! 

I will add a few more rewards including:

• Original artworks from the calendar

Goal 3: $6,000

Hitting this goal would start to help cover the research time involved in putting together the artworks.

I'll ask for your suggestions for what extra rewards to add to the page - art lessons? botanic garden sketching sessions? You name it!
