You made me not hate this art style for once. For that I'm totally considering this calendar.

Yeah I'd LOVE to order another calendar but the shipping costs are INSANE. 15β¬ shipping cost for a 25β¬ calendar is just something I'm not willing to pay. 5β¬ max.

Way to take one of the best human achievements, the Gregorian calendar, out of it in the name of… humanism?

Is this your least viewed video? I can see that's reasonable since it's not a particularly interesting concept, but it's still a great video! πΏ

The passage reflects on how time feels shorter once you face life's repeating lessons, with Scorched Manifest Rules revealing that unlearned lessons keep returning until understood.

You should add digital versions of the art to your store. I'd pay so much money to have the September art piece as my computer background

The funny part here is, all the comments defending AI slop all look like AI generated accounts. If i had to take a guess, they are all owned by someone who has all their wealth invested in AI and will loose everything if it goes under.

The calendar looks nice, with high quality artwork. Just one thing, the earth is about 6000 years old.
