Question - have you got permission from the illustrators to use their artwork?

Adrian (aemann) is the llustrator in question. All the illustrations in the calendar are his own work.

Adrian does all the 3D CGI renders for Chris Gibson's Project Tech Profile series. So all he has done is take the illustrations he created for those, Vulcan's Hammer and BSP Hypersonics, and put them into a calendar format.

Right, that's me told.

Just wanted to be clear on that. Might well pick one up then!

Mine arrived today and I have to say it's very nice. Even has my old office in it.

I suppose I could always sue myself for breach of copyright! I might even win, or er... lose... no, stop it!

And of course, I asked Chris if it was OK first, as he commissioned them - all boxes ticked!

Rather tasty isn't it, the only downside i can see is that it has American holidays on the Calendar part and it could have done with a crib sheet with more details on each project and possible a list of the books in which they appear for those who want to do further reading (were OK as have the books, but i imagine some will be interested who dont)
