This personal project was devised as a challenge to see if I could create a Gregorian calendar with the corresponding dates on Mars for the year 2014. Based on the Darian Calendar devised by Thomas Gangale in 1985.

Ideally it would have been finished in 2013 ready for 2014, however due to our new baby boy Frank arriving on Christmas day, we had our hands full getting ready for his arrival.

Screen printed 700mm x 500mm (27.55″ x 19.68″) printed on GF Smith Colourplan Ice White 270gsm using water based inks that are environmentally friendly and soil association accredited. Printed by One69A located in Islington Mill, Manchester.

We wanted to do something a little different this Christmas. This is our first Christmas in the UK with our families for 2 years and this we are excited about! We wanted to share something with you this Christmas that we hope each day will make you smile, be intrigued or take you to that time and place! We’ve designed an Advent Calendar but it’s a little different from the norm…No chocolate behind each door, just a little slice of escapism from the chills, sharp shopping elbows and endless Christmas songs. Starting from the 1st of December and leading up to Christmas Day we will be unveiling a new print every day as part of our Advent Calendar. The images selected for the advent are little snippets from our Notworkrelated travels.

To get in the spirit of it all we are offering 25% discount off all prints throughout the month of December! Just to get you in the spirit we’re offering a special discount this festive season…25% off all prints featured in our shop until the 31st December 2012 this includes those featured in the advent as well as Collection #1! We’re also donating 5% of all profits to charity. Currently we are donating towards building a school in Ghana, Africa. This project is being led by good friend Neville Maggs who has done an amazing job so far! the children are in and classes are being taught but still there is so much to be done and all of his fund-raising is done through initiatives of his own. Sign up to our email newsletter to receive the advent calendar direct to your inbox. Don’t forget that 5% of each and every sale goes to charity.
