Blast from the Past #204: "Calendar of the Gods" cover
Back in 1987, my brother Don and I self-published this calendar project. Each month featured an illustration by me of a particular mythological deity, inspired by legends from around the world. Don did most of the research and also contributed some border designs and a text piece on each deity. I think we printed a couple hundred of these (couldn't afford to do more) and tried to sell them, without much success.

Thats A LOT of crosshatching. I was out your way today.. Pittsfield area. Had to stop off at a Best Buy there. The only store in an hour area to have an D-SLR camera I was looking to get. Man, pretty drive but holy smokes it was a haul from Albany.
-->> Nice .. from afar it almost looks like an old Black and White movie title card.
Weird !!
..Damm i hope we get to see some of the 'GODS ' ..
(( "Saurian Design " ?! ))
Any of these for sale?
Oh this is right up my ally! I wish I had been aware of them as a kid, my babysitting money would have gone for one for sure. I LOVE mythology!

"Saurian Design" was the name I came up with for the illustration business I was hoping to start up at the time, back in the mid-1970's. It never went anywhere under that name.
I may post some images of the "Gods" that I drew... at least the ones which don't make me cringe to look at now. -- PL
