Dog Art Calendars

Day 3:  Calendars for dog lovers.  Order one for yourself too.

One of my favorite calendars this year is the one I helped create.  It is a collaboration with Michelle Page and her Nepalese dog sign painters.  They provided the vibrant, humorous, and totally original artwork and I put it together and made it available for $19.99 at CafePress. 

I am so pleased with the way it came out and that it continues to publicize these artists who were being replaced by computers, giving them new outlets to sell their work to customers around the world.  See my earlier post about it, including images of all the dogs/months here.

The Emancipe+ 2009 Pet Calendar features the original artwork of three artists, Heather Christofero, Tim Kerr, and Pat Falconer.  Emancipe+ is an Austin-based organization dedicated to preventing animal homelessness and putting an end to euthanasia as a means of population control by providing low-cost or free surgical sterilization of dogs and cats.  All proceeds from this lovely calendar go towards Emancepe+’s mission.  (Note: some cat paintings included.)    Click here to order yours.

Linda O’Neill’s 2009 Dog Desk Calendar is super sweet.   With 12 of her wonderful pups it will brighten up any dog lover’s day (and desk).  Avaiable at her Abby Creek Etsy Shop.

If you know someone who loves Boston Terriers and Mid Century Modern furniture, here is the perfect gift,  Lili Chin’s Boogie On 2009 Calendar.  It features her Boston Terrier, Boogie, on famous designer chairs from Eames, Aarino (below), Panton and more.  I just love it!  Order yours here.
