Pretty Little Dead Girls: a calendar.

I've spent the past year idly working on a calendar of 'Pretty Little Dead Ghouls' -- twelve months, twelve pin-ups, twelve implications of horrific violence either just past or just around the corner. All accompanied with chipper quatrains. Because I am just marginally odd that way.

This post contains twelve fairly good-sized images, each of which links to an even larger image. If your connection doesn't deal well with such things, here's a link to the gallery:

Let's take a peek, shall we?

So are you going to sell these as a calendar? If so put me down for one, I have loved all of these series. The only way to improve it for me would have been for one of the months to have included firearms, possibly for the start of the hunting season.

Also can I put in a request for something formatted for use as desktop wallpaper on a wide screen computer?

Well, if she's ever bored, she can doodle up holiday ones later -- Guy Fawke's Day, for instance, seems like it should fit well?

(Those are beautiful. I think October's is my favorite.)

Second that - and I don't have a birthday then!

Thank you! October amuses me, because it's the only one where she's not heavily armed.

I think for an American character the fourth of July would be a better fit than Guy Fawkes Night.

I actually tried to be as 'non-denominational' with the holidays as I could -- hence the harvest rather than Thanksgiving. I am way too easily entertained.

Kate wants me to, so it's probably going to happen -- we'll just need to either a) get on printing around September of next year (which gives me time to do the background mods that would be required), or b) start it in June.

If you let me know which you'd like, sure. I basically have to re-do the back two layers for wallpaper use, because they aren't currently big enough.
