Yearly Calendars

Designed and bound by Eric Alstrom
1999-2005

Each year I make a calendar for myself, family and friends. It all started when I couldn't find a datebook which was organized the way I wanted it organized. In 1997 I started designing my own pages for a Day Runner binder. In 1999, I took the process on step further and bound the pages into a book, starting very plain and working up to leather spins in 2001 and 2002. Each year the page design varies as does the binding style.
