For the past three calendar years, I have complained about this artist. Each year, my star rating drops by one.
I realize that art is opinion and perspective, but the hard lines of this artist is distracting and ugly. There isn't a single image worth keeping for three calendar years now. I keep the calendars from years previous because the artwork is gorgeous, but starting with 2019, they simply aren't worth keeping.
Plus, this year, the USPS shoved mine into the mailbox and it has this even uglier crease down the middle of the pics and the 3rd week of all the months. Maybe it's time to put "do not bend" on the envelops or something. I'd get a replacement but what's the point? After 2022 is over, I'll be tossing it anyway or ripping out any of the articles I want to keep which is what I've done for 2019 and will be doing for 2020. *gasp* That's so hard to say, ripping anything out of "books" is blasphemy and pains me to my soul. I can't even bend book pages to mark them!! Why?!?! Why are you forcing me to deface these calendars just to keep the great articles!
At least that hasn't changed! The only redeeming factor in the past 3 calendar years is that the authors and their information and stories are still fantastic.
If you must continue using that artist, I highly recommend that she NOT draw people. Stick with landscapes and maybe animals. She simply, in my opinion, does not have the hand for drawing people in a pleasing manner.
Two more years of this artist (yeah, I'm generous because I love the articles so much) and I'll be searching for a new pagan calendar.
