BIBLIOPHILE CALENDAR

12 artists | 12 months | 2 beautifully crafted editions

The Bibliophile Calendar was hand-crafted for book lovers. The vision for this project was to celebrate stories and bring their insights into our everyday lives in a manner worthy of their substance Twelve artists, twelve months, each illustrated in their own unique style, screen-printed and foiled.

OPPORTUNITY
APPROACH & IMPACT

I served as an illustrator and producer across both editions. Every step of the project from production planning, artist coordination, and quality control was done meticulously. Each detail (the inner box designs on the magnetic closure box, to the hand-proofed foil, bonus stickers and bookmarks, prints, and neatly assembled calendar stands) was chosen to honor both the artists and the readers they were making this for.

The first edition was selected as a Kickstarter "Project We Love," surpassed its funding goal, and built a strong enough community to fund a second edition. Edition II funded at 121% in under seven days. The project also expanded into a limited-run collectible art print series.
