Creative artist ISE Ratinan Thaicharoen has illustrated the SINGHA Beer 2011 Calendar. Hailing from Thailand, Thaicharoen's concept behind the calendar is a love story, featuring illustrations that are intricately detailed.
To me, the SINGHA Beer 2011 Calendar looks like a big coloring book for adults! If you are the artsy type, I'm sure you would really enjoy this calendar. Check out the images in the gallery!
