Fresh off the press!

Introducing...  
with illustrations by yours truly!   





 


Just in time for Christmas!  Now available in my Etsy store-- order one now for yourself!  Or, grab one for a friend, god-child or family member!  

Each calendar is $17
You might recognize many of these X.K. "classic" illustrations, and notice a few new ones.  This calendar is a fabulous to way add a little art to your world, while serving as a functional monthly calendar.  Faith + function + art-- we all win!

Each new year, I look forward to putting a fresh new calendar in my kitchen. I absolutely love how much a beautiful calendar can brighten up a room, while serving a purpose in the home.

This year, I wanted to make a calendar that reflects the way Orthodox Christians live out the Faith. I gravitate towards colorful illustrations, so I gathered 13 of my own pieces to display in this calendar.  As an artist, I am inspired by my family, and the ways we work out our salvation on a daily basis. 

I hope that you can find a spot for one of these calendars in your kitchen, your office, your dorm room-- wherever! May it brighten your day, and encourage in your day-to-day Faith.

The calendar features 13 copyrighted watercolor and/or pen and ink illustrations, running from January 2015 through January 2016. Included are the twelve major feast days, Great Lent and other important dates in the ecclesiastical year, according to the New Calendar (Gregorian). It is printed on medium weight cardstock, and is ready to hang on your wall.

Proceeds from calendar sales will go to the Buiding Fund of St. John the Baptist Greek Orthodox Church in Oregon. Your purchase benefits my parish, and the spreading of the Orthodox Faith in west Portland.

This wall calendar measurements: 7.5”(h) x 10” (w) folded.
Unfolded, as presented on your wall, it will measure 15”(h) x 10” (w) 

 Thank you so much for your support of this blog, and of my artwork over the years! 
I truly hope and pray that your 2015 is blessed!
