These are full, 12-month calendars that include some pages that are slightly misprinted. I've included some examples of the types of misprints you might see in these editions. Keep in mind there's a spectrum of misprint! Some pages are wonkier than others, and theres even a fair amount of pages in each misprint edition that areperfectly printed.
Mis-registrations like these come about in the process of Riso printing. Because you're laying down one color at a time during the printing process, part of the trick becomes lining up each color to make a cohesive image. But sometimes the misprints can look pretty cool and reveal the printing process in a fun way. Some people even prefer the misprints!

While this is not exactly a typical desk calendar in which you can write your appointments and meetings, my calendar is more of a changeable, hangable collection of Risograph-printed illustration pieces (with the months and days thrown in there of course).
I Risograph printed these while an artist-in-residence at Directangle Press in New Hampshire. Each spread uses a completely different set of inks, making for a fun new vibe every month. Most pages feature a unique combination of three inks, while a few pages (the cover, January and May) feature 4 inks. Spiral-bound by hand in my studio in Ridgewood, Queens.
Each misprinted calendar comes with a small gold hook for hanging!
Calandars are 11x17"
