What a gorgeous calendar from PaperSource for 2009.  This is going on my office wall.

Other Months:

while sitting at my local Starbucks having coffee with my good friend Maureen today, i was captured by the art on the walls. these beautiful fish prints were so big and colorful, i couldn’t help think that i wanted at least three! the pictures on the artists site don not do them justice. they are beautiful! if you have a wall that needs color, i picture putting two or three together.

the artist, John Doherty, spends his summers on Cape Cod, and after he catches his fish and creates a print, he washes it off and fillets it for the grill. his love for the fish of the Atlantic shows and no two are alike. his style of rubbings is known as Gyotaku, which began two thousand years ago in the Orient. it was originally done to document species and sizes of fish. it then transformed into an art form. the Gyotaku technique allows for a truly accurate image of all the details in each fish.

not only are they gorgeous, they are affordable! check him out at Fish Aye Trading Co.
