Our friends at SeeSaw Design recently finished printing their 2010 calendar. Inspired by nature and a love for classic modern shapes. The result is a playful exploration of form and color interaction.

This limited-edition wall calendar includes four designs, each with 3 months per page (size is 7.25″x11.5″). Each piece was letterpress printed on Crane’s Lettra 100% cotton paper using our antique Kluge printing press. The design emphasizes use after the year is over: trim off the dates, and keep the four pieces as prints. The calendars retail for $28, but are available for wholesale at $14 each. You can by this little beauty here.

Believe it or not this awesome work is in our very own Arizona desert around Prescott. Most of these pieces are on a Navajo reservation; the walking figures are code talkers. Beautiful use of colors by artist Yote.
