We all need a calendar right? Well, maybe not anymore with all your data stored in your phone (till you drop it in a river). But they are small, cheap works of art and can be entertaining. It’s a revolving gallery for your kitchen.

Here are some off-beat ones you might enjoy:

Freaks of Asheville -3rd year for this special tribute to some of the unusually creative citizens of our fair city

Flaming Lotus Girls – purveyors of fine and firey artistic mayhem, often seen at Burning Man

Call of the Goddess – 15th annual edition with paintings by Helena Nelson-Reed

Burning Man -Desk Calendar & Book – celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the festival

Brian Froud – by British artist, author and film designer, leading authority on faerie lore

2011 Pirelli – annual collectors edition, only the elite customers get a copy but I’ll bet they’re on Ebay. This year the images are by Karl Lagerfield and have a tres chic mythological theme
