2023 wall calendar of Susan Payne Equine Art

I have made these calendars the past 3 years as gifts and this year posted two types for sale as the “creator” based on my own original artwork. I found Zazzle program made it fairly easy to design but you can also graphically set up each image page prior to importing it into Zazzle as a jog - sometimes that’s easier to get consistency Just make sure you leave room for the spiral binding unless you don’t mind image edge bleeding info that - and definitely don’t let text get too close to that You can’t customize the calendar date page itself but I use a nice simple format that leaves room for the user’s notes. I used different artwork on each month and used the back and front for general description, Artist info, and logo I like that there are multiple choices of sizes, and two page versus one page layouts. The one page needs a wider shipping box than the same size two-page. But is a little easier to graphically design on the one page. I add descriptions of each art piece onto the page with the art, and sometimes a color background. I sometimes use two related images on one page. I use these as end of year holiday gifts or other people buy them as gifts for others. Good way for a local artist to self-promote too when you use your own original artwork /photos. Color rendition was pretty good, which is not easy for photos of watercolors. Could have been sharper /brighter but I suspect my photo quality wasn’t good enough However things were well aligned, the paper and bindings sturdy etc. shipping - My first shipment took longer but a few weeks later I ordered more of the same and they came really fast. They were well protected in their shipment package.

I was looking for a small, vertical calendar that I could fully customize with my own pictures. This one worked out great! My pictures turned out great - better than I thought they would - clear, sharp, great color!

The amazing images paired with the clever and unique quotes makes this calendar a very unique must have. The colors are vibrant, the paper quality is great and I love the large 11x17 size. Makes a great gift! Amazing, colors were vibrant, paper nice, thick and too quality!
