I wanted to give a shout out to an illus­tra­tion project in Chicago, IL by Thomas Quinn.

Zom­bies. Super­flu epi­demic. Solar radi­a­tion. Alien inva­sion. Nuclear war. Robot rebel­lion. Giant meteor. Bieber Fever…

We don’t know exactly how the world will end, but we do know when: Decem­ber 21, 2012. We know this because the Mayans told us so 5,000 years ago. To pre-commemorate this his­toric occa­sion, we asked 12 dif­fer­ent artists to imag­ine it for us. Then we put those 12 images together and made it into a calendar.

These artists include Jay Ryan, Zan­der Can­non, Jenny Fri­son, Steve See­ley,Maris Wicks, Chan­dler O’Leary, Ryan Browne, Thomas Quinn, Dan Hertzberg,Sean Dove, Matt Moore, and Nick Pitarra. Some images are cute. Oth­ers, not so much. But all are done with skill and wit that should brighten your final days.

The date por­tion of the cal­en­dar fea­tures a daily list of sig­nif­i­cant events and accom­plish­ments that hap­pened dur­ing the human era of earth, as well as the date of birth of some of the great­est humans ever to roam the planet (and maybe even you, see rewards to the right).

The cal­en­dar is large at 11 x 17 so that you can appre­ci­ate the detail of each image and have plenty of room to write your­self reminder notes to get more cases of bot­tled water for your secret bunker.

The funds raised will go toward pay­ing for the printing/manufacturing of the cal­en­dar as well as the ship­ping costs.
