2024 Joyous Dragon Year Calendar

ARTIST: Dongming Tian

In the upcoming Chinese Year of the Dragon, the top mythical creature from the East, the Dragon, is ready to make its appearance! While you might have some understanding of it, it seems like no one has truly seen it... In anticipation of the approaching Chinese Dragon Year, we've gathered 9 talented friends to illustrate their visions of the Chinese Dragon. Through this small calendar, we present these artistic interpretations to you.

The Dragon comes to life on paper, accompanying us through the Joyful Year of the Dragon in 2024.

In the age of electronic calendars dominating our daily lives, we hope this physical desk calendar can bring a little difference to you and me. Perhaps, it's akin to the feeling of holding banknotes, allowing us to navigate each day with a grounded sense of purpose. Record important days with handwritten notes, capturing the endless possibilities of the year.

The calendar is crafted using three types of specialty paper, four-color + spot gold + hot stamping printing. The oblique-cut, irregular design attempts to break from the norm, presenting a "three-dimensional" visual effect on a "two-dimensional" plane. An orange ribbon connects the front and back panels, making the calendar easy to open and close with stable support, while also being suitable for hanging. The back date page provides ample space for writing and recording.
