Amazing artist working in a very accessible space. Each new year brings the promise of another great calendar, but Nikki McClure has also branched out into notebooks, baby clothing, and homewares. (via 1hipchik)

This artist makes a beautiful statement each month with her calendars.

I love Nikki McClure's papercuts. They are an inexpensive and easy way to display your hipster-cred and DIY-design ethic, even if you are assuredly uncool and horrible with scissors yourself. However, I don't really understand who precisely buys calendars for themselves. I seem to have acquired an abundance this year, for free, just by periodically checking the mail.
