Countdown to Calendars

       Make it yourself..........My love for actual, usable calendars has not diverged. This one found on Skona Hem is fabulous.  Make it yourself!

   KEEP IT.......

                                                                      
Ok, so this last calendar is not available anymore. If you live in Milwaukee, you may recognize it as WMSE offered these in 2010. Photographs taken my favorite person, Stanley Ryan Jones, document the punk/new wave club scene in Milwaukee in late 70s and early 80s. This calendar still hangs on my wall in my office permanently displaying December 2010. I refuse to turn the page or take it down.

2009 Calendar

So, I already have my 2009 Typographic calendar from Pentagram. This is the same wall calendar I purchased last year. I have realized that all those cute screen-printed or letter pressed calendars (no matter how cute they are) serve no purpose for me. I need a working calendar with ample space so that I can actually write down our commitments on.....it is huge (33" x 23").

Pentagram Typographic calendar available through Ken Knight.

With that being said, If I didn't already have a calendar I would purchase the one below from Boxocam/Denmark. Camera Obscura: Barcelona 2009. Photos of the city using a camera obscura give this city a unique and mysterious glimpse. Unfortunately, through the Boxacam website you can't view the photos from the 2009 calendar, but you can view his other photos of Barcelona (see below). Based upon those, I am sure this is well worth the buy. Fantastic.


I can faintly recognize Placa Reial in the upper left hand corner. Placa Reial hosts a weekly coin flea market. We ended up going there (despite the uncool factor of looking at coins) and had a wonderful time. We even bought some Roman Coins!
