2020 Blue Monday 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 - 

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

2020 Blue Monday Calendars - Week 02

We'll keep it simple this week - only one of each calendar style - just so we don't start patterns of overkill.

For our Pin-Up Calendar, we've got an Al Moore girl staying warm in winter wear, sort of...

...and our Old Magazine Covers calendar features Rolf Armstrong from January 1919...

 

Let me pause to remark on how much i enjoy the ... quality of light on the faces of Rolf's portraits. That's the best way i can think to phrase it, so let's take a quick look at a few to see what i mean -

It's not surprising his work was so popular and featured on many magazine covers.
 
For our Blue Calendar this week, we've got Earl Moran and one of his paintings of Marilyn Monroe...

As you may know, Earl had rather unique relations with Marilyn...

...and turned out quite a few paintings of her, of which these are just a sampling...

Oddly, one of my favorites seems to be rarely seen on the web -

We'll be seeing a fair bit of Moore, Armstrong, and Moran on this year's calendars. Perhaps not a big surprise.

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