True. I also have two cards from RB; both of which the art is included in this calendar. But the first time I saw them my first reaction was not about their darkness; I was just looking in a dark spot when I came in through the door :o)

But yes, the RB prints are generall darker.

Thanks electricstorm

Thank you Vickie, you are very special too.

Ha… thanks…

I guess; thank you Lenka.

Thank you Karen!

Thank you Marny :)

Thanks KJ

what exactly does “wahini” mean?

Thanks Michelle.

I’m surprised you haven’t made one; but then again, you mostly upload your designs for t-shirts. But you’re stuff would probably look great in a calendar; I bet it would sell well too!

Thank you very much!

Awww, thank you so much Karin :) and nice new avatar!

Although it is very common for to find people gifted in both streams of illustration and photography. Some people here made two accounts for that purpose (though I personally don’t think I’ll be able to manage two) and some just prefer to pursue one discipline more than the other.

I was surprised at first when I saw my journal in the RB journal. I was thinking to myself “When did I write a 2010 Calendar review?” as this journal really concentrates on my own calendar. The way RB titled it sounds much more professional too :P

Thank you very much!

Yes, I’ve realised. I’m still happy with the results though.

Thank you :)

Maybe you are mistaking the quality of the photos in the calendar with the quality of the photos OF THE CALENDAR.

Have a look at this:

I admit I’ve had trouble taking pictures of pictures and the photos of the calendar isn’t great, but the calendar itself looks fine. This card above is of the same image as in December; which more or less is the same quality as how it appears in the calendar. But I had troble photographing it b/c of glare on shiny surface and photographing a 2D image is not the same as a tiny 3D set-up so I used a scanner to present it’s quality. I cannot prove the quality of the calendar with my scanner b/c it doesn’t fit, but it is more or less the same quality of the card as shown in scan.

okay that image linking ended up looking strange so I’ll have to take you directly to the buyer’s booth pic.

Thank you very much for you kind words.

True, it isn’t easy and I do need a better camera; a macro lens would be conveniant for the smaller items. But alas I need to save money for school, and can only afford doing art that uses up less materials :-P

P.S. I wasn’t taking anything personally. I only wanted to make sure you weren’t mixing up the quality of the photos in this journal to the photos of the origami alone. Yes I know the photos themselves can be better, but they just look worse here. I was rather frustrated myself that I couldn’t make photos of photos appear as well as the raw photo itself, but I was excited nonetheless when the calendar arrived that I felt like sharing with my friends who were watching me.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I’m starting masters in January. Kinda stressful getting read and all.
