I already posted this cover, but here's an encore for all you Sweet-lovers.
I know I'm not.
Still, it's part of the collection.

Thanks, Pete, I really like it as well.
Something has changed though, in order to post pictures. I can get it to work by following Dan's suggestion, but otherwise I'd have to use attachments, which I don't want to do.

I love the 1981 artist's edition calendar Siep! Great art and the pictures came out just fine!

[frik51]

I think so too.
I like some of the LotR movie calendars that came out a couple of years ago, but these art(ists) editions are so much better.

Wow that art work makes me want to reread TLOTR right now very awsome indeed.

Looking good Mr. Siep. I'm looking forward to the Sweet calendar. He was always one of my favorites. The calendar over was the cover to one of my paperback copies of one of the LOTR books.

And Squire, i have lots of memories of that year too. It was the year we moved (like you, right after sophmore year). In fact it was while Dad was building the house that I started work on my map, so I had just recently read "Lord Foul's Bane" and/or "The Lord of the Rings". Also remember listening to Asia's first album all that first summer. And first discovering the woods next to our property. Good times...

that all came through perfect for me

I was a sophmore in high school, and everything came together that year.

And promptly fell apart the next. My senior year was even worse.

[frik51]

I know...Sweet's art isn't really that bad. I just don't care too much for his human characters, especially the faces.

Do spill the beans about the year 1982, Squire!

Ouch - an all-Sweet calendar!

Some of us like his art, Siep (besides, 1982 was a very good year for me)!

[frik51]

All good on my end! Thanks so much!

I'm glad! And, you're welcome!!
