Created by Daniel Roebuck and Tammy Peralta, in conjunction with Dante Renta, this limited DON POST 2016 Monster Calendar pays tribute to the 1970s original mask designs that replaced the Universal Monsters on the 1966 Calendar. 2016 would be the 50th anniversary of the original Don Post Calendar. Using original 1970s Don Post masks that are foam-filled, the Roebuck-Peralta-Renta triumvirate spent long hours photographing and then adding Don Post, Jr.’s eyes to each image! Read Daniel Roebuck’s account of how the calendar was made here. This 9″ x 12″ calendar was originally a DON-CON exclusive and is now available for everyone for a limited time only. Get yours before it runs out!
50TH anniversary ---- wow!
ReplyDeleteTime flies!
DeleteAn update of the classic DP calendar is something that was long overdue; wonder why they waited so long. Since no one has a monopoly on calendars I'd love to see other mask makers continue the tradition by producing calendars featuring their creations — including you, Pete!
ReplyDeleteIt's strange indeed that more mask calendars haven't popped up through the years. The Monster Girls calendar is the only other one I can think of. As for me, it is my 20th anniversary of mask making next year. It might be time to think about a calendar ;-)
DeleteWith 20 years of latex & styrene artistry under your belt you would have no problem coming up with a dozen choices for each month of a calendar. Your masks combined with your graphic design know-how are just the right ingredients to give rise to something a lot of mask fans would love to hang on a wall. And you'd have a full year to work on it. Go for it!
DeleteI like how the monsters take up most of the calendar page. As it should be.
ReplyDeleteFor sure, the monsters pictures are HUGE, and the design is well executed.
DeletePicked one up at Don-Con as well as a DPS Mummy A mask from Ron Chaney himself! Such a good time! Was nice meeting you there Pete!
