In the end there could only be one Outsideleft Calendar of the Year. A foregone conclusion maybe, but UK artist, Lorna Rose's Bus Drawings Calendar is the one, as we try to make sense of the next year, for us. And so we say, despite looking through crates of cute kitten calendars, if you only need one wall calendar to keep you on track this year, the Bus Drawings Calendar is the one that's going to do it for you.
The calendar features 12 of images from Lorna's recent series of bus sketches, each begun on a bus journey through Birmingham. Printed on heavy duty paper, it's just so versatile. The calendar provides plenty of scope for user interactivity, you can add birthdays, meetings, scheduling conflicts, nights out and all sorts of reminders to the calendar. And at the end of each day, it remains delightfully analog.
We were so bowled over by Lorna's inspiring bus sketches, we featured her in outsideleft in November. You can read that interview here...
BUS DRAWINGS CALENDAR 2020 is now for sale at £15 (including free postage within the U.K mainland). www.LornaRose.co.uk/shop/
I like to look at things while listening to things I am not looking at. But doesn't everyone.

Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
