While doing my daily search for future Tolkien releases, I spotted something that COULD be the 2022 Calendar.
The ISBN is 9780063139732, and the author (ie, artist) is " Lou Neiklot" and it's published by HarperCollins (Harper Voyager, actually). This was spotted on both Blackwell's, and Book Depository.
Please note, that the name 'Tolkien' does not appear anywhere on the product page.
If anyone is allowed to provide more info at this time (I know some members here speak often with HarperCollins), it would be appreciated.
It seems likely that this isn't the Tolkien calendar, though it's something to look into.

The name "Tolkien" does appear, if you read from right to left.....
🤣
I have no idea if this is HarperCollins trying to be sneaky with their release schedule, I just find it hilarious.

Well 2021 in base 12 is, I think, 1205. Based on the calendar copyright - maybe. Ha.
12 Yunquë, 0 ?, 5 Lempë. per http://tolkiengateway.net/wiki/Quenya_numbers
So yeah I can twist UOL out this.

As Ted Nasmith has mentioned it in public now (on the Prancing Pony Podcast interview released today) I can confirm that he will be the featured artist in the 2022 Calendar, with the Silmarillion theme, and at least one new piece of art in it that wasn't completed in time for the illustrated edition coming out next month.
It should be great!

Ah that's public now? Good 
I've known since early Jan about the calendar, as well as a few details about the forthcoming edition of The Silmarillion via e-mail correspondence with Ted. Just in case, I wanted to keep that info private. I didn't want to be responsible for a leak.
The point of this thread, though, was mostly to express my puzzlement with regards to the link. A kind of ".....what is this?" Sorry for any deception!
I will update my Ted Nasmith Silmarillion Art spreadsheet (inspired by the Letters From Father Christmas one posted on this site), once we see which images the calendar will contain, as well as the full list of plates for the new edition. I can e-mail that to anyone, just send me a message if interested
It'll be a few months until it's ready, though, due to the calendar's release date. They typically come out end of August, early Sept.

I have not had chance to listen in yet so didn't know. That is wonderful news. Ted is by far my favourite artist to depict Middle-earth so I am beyond excited for 2022s calendar 😁

Good call! Unless Ted gives explicit permission to share information he communicates in private, it is only right to keep quiet. 😉
