Calendar

Jane and I have been working on a calendar to take to Art in Action for sale. The calendar will be an 18 month one, starting in July and going through to December 2012. The print run will be limited, partly depending on how many advanced orders we get and the price is £25 a calendar. Each will be signed, numbered and doodled on.
Each page has a painting or drawing and a short piece of writing. The paper is a beautiful heavy paper, the print quality excellent and they are spiral bound. Images above are jpegs from a pdf so the quality is compromised. The size is 11 3/4 inches by 16 1/2 inches ( for those who bought the cat calendar way back it is the same format).
So, the long preamble is by way of saying that if you would like a calendar please email me at jackie@jackiemorris.co.uk and reserve one.
There may be more at Christmas running for a further 18 months, if this run is successful.
And there will be cafepress calendars of both paintings and cats at some point, but the handmade nature of these makes them more desirable for collectors. 
( Hopefully we will also have moon names and phases on also and maybe dates for eclipses and Perseids etc. Useful dates, rather than bank holidays etc.)

 

Yesterday and today

Yesterday was: walking by wind wrinkled sea, bluebells, squill, birdsong, stonechats, painting lions, takeaway fish and chips in the van looking out on fishing boats at Porthgain, jackdaws with coal black caps and bead blue eyes.

Today is: painting lions and gilding a cheetah, thinking of teapots and tigers, Japanese screens and tarot cards, calendars and stickers.

(18 month calendar, starting in July for 2011-2012, available from July with words and images. There will be cheetahs and cherries and bears and maybe dragons. They will be limited editions.)
