Calendars 9 - 13: Printables

If you'd like to give someone something this week, consider some of the printables available around the net. You can download some of these files for as a little as 5$ and print them yourself. Here's a few samples we rounded up over the last few days.

Calendar 8: Field Guide Calendar

Why not look at imaginary birds all year round, courtesy of artist Sarah Utter? Sarah says, "I live in a cabin overlooking the Puget Sound with two dogs and two cats and one human. I walk in the woods everyday. I saw a whale in our inlet but nobody believes me. It took me 12 years to graduate from college. Go figure."

Each month shows the moon cycles of the moon.
And did you know that April 25, 2009 is World Penguin Day?
8.25"x11" folded, with drill hole for hanging.

Calendar 7: Red Prairie

Red Prairie Press put out this calendar for 2009. The Press is "a one woman (rachel bone) sweatshop, supported in part by a sometimes-bearded man (phil davis) and a cat the size of a small dog (mr. sammy)...currently based out of the cozy basement of our house in scenic Baltimore, MD. We are also based out of the kitchen, the bathtub, the living room, and the many nooks between all of that." Each handwritten calendar month features a gouache and ink painting by Rachel.

Calendar 2: Beth (Howard) Snyder

This calendar is by Beth (Howard) Snyder, who makes art, sews "crap together" and spends "so much time ripping out seams and re-sewing them" that her blog is called stitch.rip.repeat. (Thank God somebody else has that problem too.)

Here's how this project came together: "I'm working 10 and 12 hour days at work, and I come home and draw, carve, print, draw, carve, print over and over again. I'm daydreaming on my way home from work everyday about things like 'What does September mean? Can I carve a million polka dots?'"

Hooray for the coming of 2009! 2009 I say! Out with the old already. In with the new! 2009!

Tempus fugit: Calendars 1: Papercraft

One of our absolute favorite things is noting the number of calendars made available by illustrators, letterpress operators, and small galleries during the holidays. I recently listened to a CBC Ideas podcast on the nature of time that reminded me how time does not actually flow or move. It just is. But oh, the representation of it is pretty in the hands of these artists.

2009 letterpress calendar by papertogether
1 calendar= 12 cards $48
"designed and letterpress printed by paperedtogether on 100% tree-free cotton paper using a treadle-operated antique printing press. "

So here is a way to make time fly. Or in the case of our not-so beloved Canada Post, move at a snail's pace. One letterpress card for each month of the year.
