It used to be that the Brony Thank You Fund would come out with a calendar every year. Then they over-estimated demand, BronyCon called it quits and they ended up sending a wack of calendars to the dump. So, with the exception of the 2024 Everfree Northwest fund raiser calendar, I was without monthly pony wall art to hang over my kitchen table. This would not do. To fill the void I started making my own calendars. I managed to cobble together 13 images for one calendar of my own visual art output, but for the rest I've trawled my folder of hundreds of works by others to produce a 2022, a 2023 and a 2025 calendar (so far). Since I select images from a pool, my calendars are superior to what the BTYF and EN could hope for using their custom submission/commission model. A custom calendar only costs me $16 and is printed on spiral bound card-stock. Since it's so cheap, I also make my own photography calendars. I'm better at photography than I am at drawing and I've been at it longer, so I manage to put together a good calendar mix just using my own images. To top it all off, I buy at least one horse calendar every year. I'd better go do that now, before the good ones sell out.
