We’re a step or two into January now and to help keep track of time as the days continue to merge into one, I’ve got a new calendar. This literary design is by illustrator Laura Crow (here’s her shop on Not on the High Street) and features awesome drawings inspired by classic books.

The black and white images are simple and expressive. There’s even one of my all-time favourite book, Alice in Wonderland.

I’m hoping I will eventually have actual events to go to add on here at some point. But if nothing else, I’ll also have some lovely pictures to keep after the year is done.

This is my plan for last year’s calendar featuring pictures by Jacek Yerka. As his works are a little out of my price range, this may be the closest I get to hanging one up on my wall!

Laura also does cards, notebooks, wrapping paper and some cool enamel pins, so check out her stuff!

So what do you think? Do you have a calendar for this year or a favourite one from the past? Please share in the comments.
