I'm talking with zazzle about making a POV-Ray calendar available.

One method which I suggested to them was to allow someone to upload
calendar 'templates', which is basically the calendar for a given
year or month, but minus the image, and other people (or the same
person) to upload images that could be fit into the template (via
a software merge).

Someone wanting to purchase a calendar could then pick and choose what
format they wanted the numbering in, and choose whatever year and image
they want (for example), via a web page, then order the chosen work and
have it printed & mailed to them.

They seemed to think this was a good idea.

Question: is it ? Or is it too complicated ? Would it be better to just
have a 'fixed' calendar (which has the image etc pre-determined) ?

Your feedback invited.

Mick Hazelgrove's landscapes would sell like hot cakes.

I have long thought about making calendars for my friends and family for
gifts, but I don't have the protfolio of work done.

I think you could easily do a "Best of the IRTC" series, with the first
and second place winners of the six contents (Nov-Dec 2000 to Sep-Oct
2001). I tried a few of these as a graphic design project a while ago.

I think that some artists that have the portfolio (Mick Hazelgrove and
HE Day come to mind immediately) could also be featured in a calendar.

If the orderes are going to be customized, it probably woulnd't be too
hard to choose which holidays were going to be outlined on the calendar.
That would be cool.

The idea of putting together my own set of favorites from the contest
files has real appeal.  There are some real gems buried in there that
got passed over in the voting.  And many themes could be curated from
those archives, Escher derivations, still-life, best clouds, best
sunsets, architecture,...
