Calendar 09! Finally!

(Jan 23, 2009)

First off, apologies to anyone who may have been waiting for us to get done with the calendar. The sad truth is that we’ve had the images done for a couple of weeks, but have been too busy to get it all together.  Now we’re back in business and ready to tango.

Anyway, we’ve decided to try something a little different this year…

During the holiday business, we realized we wouldn’t have time to do a full twelve-page calendar this year, so we decided to create a sort of demi-calendar… Three large images, with four small calendars at the bottom of each page.  This year, we decided to do illustrations based on the theme of “hard times”.

We also realized that we wouldn’t have time to make them available for mail order in time for the new year.  Instead we’re offering a pdf of the calendar that you can download and print for yourself (along with suggestions for binding the pages).  There are two versions: One that is 8.5″ x 11″, which is suitable for home printing, and one that is 11″ x 17″.  The latter is the original intended size, but you’d probably need to take the file to a print shop (unless you have a large-format printer at home).

If you download a calendar, feel free to let us know what you think of this whole setup.  Even if you don’t, feel free to post your thoughts.  As I said before, this is all new to us and we’d be interested in know folks’ opinions on the deal.
