"Kalendar" again.

This time i didn't submit it, because they have a "day for wrapping up gifts". And as you can see, I drew unwrapping...

Happy unwrapping to all of you!

Another "Kalendar" illo

they spelled their site "kalen-dar" that's why I spell it this way.

This one is for the "day of looking for the forgotten gratitude"

Here is another one for Kalendar

This one is for the "Day of Lemon Candy Passion". I already did it once. It was last year. I think it was one of my first, the one that inspired me to try more.

Here is another try.

Kalendar

I recently posted an illustration for the Illustration Friday and also decided to post some for the Kalen-dar site.

Here is one for the "Day of looking for the Northern Deer"



Here is for the "Day of the Snow Angels"

March 31 - BooBoo Day

I didn't know what "booboo" was supposed to mean, but the maintainers of the kalen_dar LJ community asked me to make an illo and told me that it is supposed to have something to do with a tambourine. I guess nobody understood that and hence, nobody made any illustrations for this day.

So here is my rush-rushh booboo day

The day for hugging the Sun

here is a small watercolors illo i made for this day.

Kalen_dar: "The day of prohibition of bad mood"

I didn't feel like spending much time thinking through the topic. I just wanted to make a funny illustration.

Kalen_dar: "Return of a Blue Bird"

I think that a blue bird is supposed to mean something like "a magic bird", but I am not sure. Anyways, it is a special kind of bird from fairy tales.

I am sliding more and more into children's illustrations, so I tried this idea.

February 19 - day of mixing colors

i have not done anything for kalen_dar recently. but for some reason i really wanted to make an illo for this day.

yay! (on the paper it says "happy birthday mom"... i don't know how much fun mom is going to have washing his PJs :) after this present)

February 5th - The day of coloring of the plans for the future

(tomorrow) Jan 26 - the Day of random directions

Now the idea for this came from a Russian fairy tales gimmick: a man comes to a stone with 3 written directions on it, something along these lines 'if you go left, you will lose a horse, if you go right, you will find gold, if you go straight, you will find your destiny'... or these direction may vary, including "if you go right - you will lose your life"...

here i wrote: "go left - lose a horse, go straight - find yourself, go right - find love"..
the weird and different thing about this illustration is that it is a little girl that is standing here, not a man on a horse.

anyways.. here it is

(tomorrow) Jan 19- The day of orange fairy tales

(tomorrow) Jan. 18 - The Day of Lighting up a Lighthouse

(past) January 5 - The day of short stories

January 8 - The Day for Buttering Up Gremlins, evil spirits of computers

I work in techsupport, and I consider myself a gremlin, because my users make me like that, they irritate me with their rudeness and absolute stupidity. Not all of them of course. Some of them. But they ruin me and my attitude for everybody else.... I am not a naturally born tech support agent I guess. Here we are:

January 7 - Day of "untying ski threads"

I am a member of this fun relaxed community on LJ called "kalendar". They celebrate every day, but not with your average regular St.Valentines Day or Thanksgiving. They create a new holiday for ever day, and we all are free to contribute with illustrations, photos, written stories. Since this community was created in Russian, all Days are also named in Russian. I am not really sure how to translate them, you are welcome to contribute with your version.

Following threads, making sence of something, even trying to solve a crime is the same word russians use for "untying". So here is my version, feel free to comment and laugh, just stay positive.

Oh! 2 more things: January 7th is also Orthodox Christmas (so Merry Christmas to me) and my mom's birthday (happy birthday, mom!)
