2020 Calendars - Week 09

You might think that after posting Saturday Morning Toons yesterday that i'd realize today was Sunday. Well, i realize it now - with about 11 minutes left, and less than 15 before this post is supposed to go live.

Fortunately, i've got a few prepped and ready, just need the proper dates. But that means we just get the minimum this week - one of each of our 3 ongoing calendars.

For the Pin-Up Calendar, another classic composition from Rolf Armstrong -

I believe this is the first in this year's calendars for "Jack" Greiner with the April 1933 Gayety cover our Covers Calendar -

And for our Blue Calendar this week, Zoë Mozert returns with a stark portrait in blue, available in our adult content area.
Here's a direct link to the full version of this post.

As always, the calendars are sized to print 8"x10" at 150dpi, with 1" square spaces for notations. 

2020 Calendars - Week 08

Wording still laborious, so tripling up on the imagery instead. Each of our three calendar types gets three calendar pages this week, all three from a single artist.

For our Pin-ups Calendar, a new addition to our roster, Ernest Chiriaka -

Hugh Joseph Ward returns with a trio of Spicy pulps for this week's Covers Calendar -

For our Blue Monday Calendar this week, we have a trio of classic blonde bombshells from the brush of Earl Moran. As usual, the Blue material is in our adult content 'back room' just past the age check.
Here's a direct link to the uncut version of this post.


As always, the calendars are sized to print 8"x10" at 150dpi, with 1" square spaces for notations. 

2020 Calendars - Week 07

For this week's calendars, let's double up. I don't know - in honor of February and Two-Face or whatever silly excuse we need.

For our Pin-up Calendars, Mike Ludlow returns with a bit of cold weather beauty -

For our second classic Pin-Up Calendar, please welcome Joe De Mers to this year's gathering of artists -

For our Covers Calendars this week, we've got a Spicy pair from Hugh Joseph Ward - 

If the name H.J. Ward sounds familiar, perhaps it's from the 'original' Batman cover from the February 1936 issue of Spicy Mystery Stories - 

Finally, for our Blue Monday calendars, a pair of returning artists. Archie Dickens provides our only Valantine's Day calendar and Zoë Mozert returns for a portrait of pure lovliness. 

Since our Blue calendars feature nudity, you'll have to step on through to our adult content 'back room' for the uncut version of this post to see them.

2020 Calendars - Week 06

By popular request (Gordie's a popular kind of guy) we lead off this week with another from Edward Runci, the image that served for the template when putting together this year's calendars...

For this week's Cover Calendar, we've got another Enoch Bolles cover from the Film Fun -

It seems like we're leaning heavy on Enoch so far this year. I'll  try to remember to go a different way next week. But, as long as we're here, we've got the original painting for this cover, too -

This week's Blue Monday Calendar brings us a lovely winter image from Ren Wicks -

Of course, you'll have to step on through to our back room for the full version of this post with the adult content to see it. Here is a direct link to the un-cut post.

2020 Calendars - Week 03

This week we lead off with Mike Ludlow and a comic-appropriate painting for our Pin-up Calendar page -

Enoch Bolles returns for our Classic Covers Calendar with a Paris Nights cover from January 1937 -

For our Blue Calendar entry, we've got the first appearance of she who is arguably our oddest artist appearing on this year's calendars, Zoë Mozert . To view her artwork, step on back to our Adult Content room in The Other Voice Of ODD!

Meanwhile, here's a photo of Zoë in later years, standing in front of one of her most famous works, the Red Dog Rosie mural -

Yes, you can see the mural in the back room, too.

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 53

Yes, i know that there are only 52 weeks in a year, but that doesn't mean they're contained to 52 weeks on a calendar.  Terribly inconvenient of them, but what can you do?
(Well, okay - we could post before the year expired, but the computer wasn't cooperating. Obviously it did finally boot up yesterday - i left it on overnight to avoid the problem this morning)

Our final painting from the great Gil Elvgren is Riding High from 1958 -

Blue Monday Calendar - Wednesday Edition?

Okay - I done oopsed. So busy trying to push my brain into Xmas mode that i missed the final Monday of the year. Our last painting from Gil Elvgren is Bear Facts (A Modest Look; Bearback Rider) from 1962 -

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 51

I find the face to be a special delight in Gil Elvgren's painting for this week, Moonlight And Roses (Miss Sinclair 1965) from 1963. (You'll have to work out that contradiction for yourselves)

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 35

Smoke Screen is this week's lovely Gil Elvgren painting from 1958 -

Yes - i'm still alive, even if the computer is barely on life support. Hopefully what we need will arrive this week, but who knows if that'll make things better instead of worse this time? Meanwhile - it's 60 degrees outside and i'm sitting here with the Air Conditioning blowing full blast and freezing to keep this unit running long enough to post and check emails.
I'll return when i can.

Blue Monday Calendar 2018 Week 27

Some readers may have noticed that yesterday was the 1st of July, yet no calendar pages were offered for this month. Alas, the files are all inaccessible with the current computer situation. Thankfully, the source archives for the Blue Monday Calendar are old enough to be located on an external drive small enough to be read by this ancient beast upon which the blog is maintained.

This week's Gil Elvgren painting comes from 1952, entitled Surprising Catch -
