  • 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.
