It's a Board Game Calendar!
I got an interesting Geekmail yesterday from BGG user Chad DeShon about a 2012 Board Game weekly desk calendar that he's been putting together. It looks really cool, and best of all, he's using three of my pictures in the project!
Basically, it's a weekly calendar with one page per week of 2012, each featuring a gorgeous image of some boardgame or other. The calendar
Here you can see the style and then a sample page from the calendar
Edit: Chad sent me another message last night clarifying some details, so here's what he said about the format of the calendar: "I saw that you included some of the sample images from my first blog post. That is great. However I want to be clear that the design as changed a bit since then. The calendar no longer has the cardboard cover. However, it is now larger and the images will go all the way to the edge of the page. I think new design is better, but I don't want you to think I did a bait-and-switch."
But either way, I just ordered two copies for myself, and I wanted to pass this on to all of y'all either as a gift idea for another boardgamer in your life or (like me) just to have such a cool little treat for yourself.

Here's one of my images that will be included in the calendar...
Congrats on getting some of your pics in this project Chris! I think you get some very nice shots that both capture something about the game and are visually pleasing.

I personally think he'd sell more calendars if he'd refrain from calling Kickstarter a "place for rejects." But that's just my opinion.

Yeah, it was definitely not the best choice of words. But he was setting himself up as the reject of the rejects, so it was more about self-deprecation than insulting Kickstarter users.
