Calendar January

I got the idea to make a calendar to give away to friends this Christmas last minute (my friend made a Clint Eastwood one for his friend) I was going to just use my favorite drawings from the past year, but I only really loved one.

So I thought of a story that I could do in 12 panels using this character, I wound up using the image for April, which is the perfect time for cycling.

The story is a jewel heist/friendship story. I came home with the rough idea of her stealing diamonds and meeting a cat and Jae helped me figure out the ending and arc. Finished the whole thing in 4 days! So it's got kinks but I like them. It captures something about our moods these days and is inspired by our friends' interests and preoccupations. The images are wordless and open to interpretation, so let me hear them.

Also, anyone have a good title?

  2. Hi Mika,

    Are these calendars for sale?
    I love them. They are hilarious especially the November month when I think it is a universal time people start getting that seasonal depression disorder and/or want another crappy year to end real bad only for another crappy one to begin. :)
