FINALLY!
Finally managed to finish the last calendar of the year!!!
The last few weeks have been crazy with work and I also had to finish this year's christmas card (the calendar was based on it) so the calendar had to be delayed.
This will also be the last calendar ever as somewhere along the way this year I lost my motivation and I realized I was only doing them because I had to.
Enjoy!
And Merry Christmas.

I just realized this morning that we're in november! That's weird especially because it'll be my birthday in two days!
Until a few hours ago I had nothing ready for this calendar, you know, the usual. But I knew it had to be either about my birthday or about my trip to Paris next week. I guess you can see what I ended up choosing.
Only one more calendar to go!

Hello there!

Hello there.
The last few days have been a mix of a lot of work and some vacation time. That and the fact that I'm still adjusting my time between my job, illustration and our young puppy we're the reasons that led me to only finish the calendar today.
If you follow me on instagram you already met Tosta and since she's been a major part of my life for the last couple of months, it's no surprise I had to make a calendar about her.
I hope there are some dog lovers out there and I hope you enjoy this calendar.

Hello there!
July calendar is still quite on time, right?
As I told you before, it was not easy coming up with a theme to illustrate this month as my life has been revolving around one single small being and I wanted to think about something else with this calendar.
There was only one other thing... Summer! Of course!
Hope you like it! Enjoy!

Hi there!
The calendar is available on time this month! I really had a lot of fun creating these tiny elephants.
There's also something new this month: After listening to some opinions I decided to make a desktop version with only a few elements from the pattern so hopefully you guys will find it less confusing. But worry not! The pattern version is still available, as usual.
Hope you like it!
Have a great month.

Hello there!
This year I decided I wanted to create some patterns which is something I don't normally do but I like it quite a lot.
It took me a while to decide if I wanted to keep on creating the free calendars but new january started and I still had my december calendar as my cellphone wallpaper I decided to create a new one for january, using the elements I was already creating for my first pattern.
So, if all goes well, this year i'll have 12 new calendars with 12 different patterns to offer you to use them as wallpapers.
Hope you like this.

december calendar
Chegou dezembro (bem, chega dentro de umas horas) e com ele o último calendário do ano.
Consegui manter-me fiel a este projecto, com poucos atrasos e mesmo quando me senti menos inspirada, como aconteceu em setembro.
Usei o calendário todos os meses e fiquei muito contente quando sabia que havia uma nova pessoa a usá-los também, obrigada!
Ainda não sei se vou fazer um calendário para o próximo ano mas estou contente pelos últimos 12 meses.
Aqui fica o último calendário, espero que gostem.
December has arrived (it will in a few hours) and so has the last calendar of the year.
I was able to stick to the project and with little delays! Even when I felt really uninspired as it happened in september.
I used the calendar every month and was very happy everytime I knew somebody ele was using it too.
I still don't know if I'll keep this project next year but I'm happy for the last 12 months.
Here is the last calendar, hope you like it.

november calendar
Hello there,
it's that time of the month again! And I can't believe it's november already! I managed to create eleven monthly calendars, can't quit now, right?
For this calendar I created two different sketches but wasn't satisfied with none of them so I ended up searching through my sketchbooks and decided to update this fisherman I created one day on a rather boring train ride. And he had to have a moustache in movember, don't you agree?
Hopefully you'll like it!
Enjoy!

October Calendar
Hello!
Finally a wallpaper that's not late!
The lettering was created for a wedding invitation I did and I liked how it turned out so I just got it a bit more themed. The illustration itself was created on a plane back home from the UK, it's amazing how much I can get done when there are no distractions. Maybe I should travel a lot more, for the sake of my productivity of course.
Hopefully I'll update the blog before the next calendar.
Enjoy!

September calendar
It seems like it has become an habit for the calendar to be a bit late every month.
This month was particularly difficult. With a 3 week pause it's been very hard to get back on track but we'll get there.
Enjoy.

Hello there!
Here I am again posting my calendar one day late.
This illustration is based on myself and how I face summer those long summer days at the beach. I'm this really pale girl (like a vampire) who you will always find on the shade when I'm at the beach.
Hopefully some of you can relate to this too.
Enjoy your summer days and your vacations. I will surely enjoy mine.

July Calendar
Hello there!
Just a quick post to share this months calendar. It was inspired by the hot july days but also by the days that were spent in Barcelona, where there was a lot of sun but less icecream than expected.
This month I did something I don't usually do: I created this illustration today, usually it takes me a little more time, two days at least, on and off, as I like to take my mind off it and come back later to see if I still like what I did.
But then I remembered why I started this project. It was to try different things and this month was different, so it's all good.
Hope you enjoy it

June Calendar
Hello there!
I really shouldn't blog only when the month begins and there's another calendar to share. In the last month I had little internet access, so there's that. Hopefully june will be better post wise.
Anyway, about this months calendar I totally forgot about it till may 30th, but here it is!
So it's june and half of the calendar illustrations are done. It actually feels great to realize that I was able to do it for six months, only six more to go.
What is also great is the feedback I've been getting, there is a lot more people using my calendar than I ever expected, so that makes me happy...
Hopefully you'll find this calendar funny and it will make you happy too.
Enjoy!

May Calendar
It's that time of the month again.
April was a very special and busy month and flew by so fast. May promises to be busy too, let's see how it goes, also, I currently have no internet connection at home which is new to me and is the reason why this calendar comes two days late.
If you follow me on Instagram you may notice this months illustration is based on an illustration I did to give my mother on Mother's day (I'll post about it later). Mothers are so important that one day to commemorate them is not enough, how about a full month?
Hope you like it.

April Calendar
Hello there!
It's that time of the month again!
March flew by so fast, some important things happened that will keep me busy all through april and hopefully things will turn out great.
If you read my March post you know that this months calendar was already almost finished. This is probably the reason I'm not late this month but who cares?
There's also a small change, the desktop version is bigger this month as some people were having a hard time resizing it. If it's too big for you, resizing it will probably do the trick.
If you find something you think could be better not be shy to say so.
Enjoy!

March Calendar
Hello there!
This month's calendar is already available, and just one day late! Maybe next month it'll be published on day 1.
This calendar was a difficult one, I started in with a carnival theme and then remembered it'd only last for 4 days and decided to give up on that idea. After that I started one inspired by easter but then realized easter is only in april this year. I ended up with this illustration vaguely inspired by spring.
The good thing is I already have next month's calendar started.
Also, this month I tried to step out of the comfort zone (which is one of the goals of this project) and the illustration was made on photoshop and with brushes I don't normally use.
Anyway here it is:
