Advent calendar door number 23: Pss, don’t forget to call a loved one this Christmas! Reminding you with this delightful pop art painting from our self-publisher JJ Galloway, a US artist who focuses on depicting the ‘beauty of the commonplace‘. Her Pop Culture calendar is full of nostalgic and sentimental icons of urban life that have been given a pop art twist.

Small but mighty

We all need a bit of good luck from time to time. So, behind door number 22, we find a lovely ladybird macro shot from Paul Iddon’s Ladybirds and Bees of the UK calendar – the small winged friends of the gardener in all their glory!

Oh deer

Opening door number 21 of our Advent calendar and you can see that UK photographer Mark Bridger has a real knack for wildlife photography. His favourite subjects are deer. Cue: his gorgeous Deer calendar. We particularly like this wonderful creature, however, there are many more … (Btw, Mark was one of our very first UK self-publishers when Calvendo launched in the UK in late summer 2014!)
