I wrote to Kate Gabrielle on the chance that she might be able to create a custom classic film calendar suited to my movie tastes. And what I got was beyond my wildest dreams!
I emailed Kate some of my ideas. I picked some of my favorite stars and a couple of my favorite films, suggested a couple of themes and an emphasis on New Year's because it's my favorite holiday. She put together a fantastic calendar and I'm very happy to share it with you.
Kate's work is incredible. I've commissioned a few works from her, including this excellent painting of Norma Shearer, and her Flapperdoodle artwork plus her excellent classic film Christmas cards adorn my cubicle at work.
I encourage you to visit Kate's shop and blog to see her amazing work. Now on to the calendar!
