Get inspired every day of the year with this artsy 2014 illustrated calendar project by Pieter Frank de Jong and Luca Boscardin.
Showcasing very distinct illustrations by 13 illustrators from all over Europe, the Calendart is both a calendar and a collaboration art piece that brings different artists together to work on one final harmonious project. The simple and intricate lines of the illustrations are so random yet the collection just seems to flow perfectly page after page.
The Calendart can also make for an awesome collection of prints ready for framing after the year is over.
Available on Etsy, the monochromatic illustrated calendar picks only one color to be boldly used on each page leaving the rest bare for the precise line work and concept to shine through.
