The 2008 calendar by Alisha Henson at Palindrome Press also deserves an honourable mention. Alisha uses handmade paper from a family-owned papermill and soy inks in her creations, and follows the basic tenet that "Good work comes from doing what you love." Based in Portland, Oregon, when Alisha isn't in her studio she's holding down a part-time job at Oblation Papers & Press.
