Night Sky Calendar Kickstarter
Are you interested in constellations, rising planets, full moons, lunar and solar eclipses, upcoming meteor showers, and other celestial changes in the night sky? Do you need a calendar for 2016? Check out the Kickstarter of this very cool project I am a part of. It just went live!
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nightsky-io/the-2016-night-sky-illustrated-calendar?ref=nav_search
This full-color 12†x 12†2016 wall calendar features all-new artwork inspired by the changing constellations of the night sky above us through the year. Artist Marina Hansen is creating unique illustrations that reimagines these iconic celestial changes in an accurate and whimsical way.
This calendar acts as a guide to changing skywatching events through the year of 2016. Be reminded of rising planets in the evening sky, full moons, lunar and solar eclipses, upcoming meteor showers, and rising constellations.
This is the third product from my company, and I want the final calendar result to be the best I can possibly give you.
You won’t find many art calendars where the artist has not only created the artwork, but also personally designed and overseen every detail of the almanac-like facts of the sky. It’s available exclusively here, via this Kickstarter campaign. This is an offering from me to you, with all best wishes to you and yours for 2016.
You’ll notice how big the artwork is. Featuring 12†x 12†prints of 13 original art pieces that are being created exclusively for this calendar.
If you like to write down important dates and make plans on your wall calendars you’ll find ample space for doing that within each monthly calendar grid.
Marina Hansen is finishing several of the remaining works, and this campaign’s backers will see all of them (and some of the making-of) before the rest of the world, and before the campaign completes.
