in a depero mood! flomm calendar ’21 – it’s about time

The hell­ish year was about to end and I re­al­ized, yet again, I for­got to buy a cal­en­dar – mixed with that sud­den hard ‘re­set’ where De­cem­ber pops back to Jan­u­ary and fries my brain – and I re­al­ized I need­ed some FLOMM nor­mal­cy, if even pos­si­ble, and maybe that’d hap­pen in the form of a nü calendar –
    

So around Xmas, I de­cid­ed to still do a cal­en­dar for this year. Goal: Get it fin­ished and post­ed by to-day.

 

I think my mind snapped halfway thru – I’ve been vi­su­al­ly ‘see­ing’ time as a con­struct my whole life – so for this project’s CHAL­LENGE por­tion, I want­ed to give each month its own per­son­al­i­ty just based on things I first saw as a kid. Which sort of is a place to go when it comes to mod­ern art.

Be­yond the usu­al boxy grid, and be­yond the myths they were named after.

 

With some sug­ges­tions from Car­nelian King, Cas­si­die Wages and Milk Sur­face – I found my­self chan­nel­ing cu­bism, then fu­tur­ism, with a hard right into the world of De­pero.

Be­cause colours,
be­cause BOM­BAST!

Late­ly, I’ve been ab­sorb­ing the Ital­ian avant garde.

Type­faces used came from long­time flom­mist Ste­fan Hat­ten­bach and my­self.

Fin­ished this af­ter­noon – then tak­en thru mul­ti­ple print­ing + colour tests YES WE HAVE SOME QUAL­I­TY CON­TROL – now avail­able in handy poster for­mat is FLOMM’s 2021 CALENDARIO !!
