New from Guy Mendes, the SIGNS & WONDERS 2012 Calendar, designed by Carly Schnur (who designed 40/40) and beautifully printed by Westcan of Winnipeg, Canada (where 40/40 was printed), the imagery samples a body of work that seeks out humor and beauty in the commonplace and everyday.

Whether they are found right under your nose, or in the next room, or out the back door, or down the road a ways, Signs & Wonders abound in the day-to-day world. They come to light unexpectedly, when looked at sideways, or with the mind’s eye. Signs instruct and portend what is to come. Wonders give us pause, and lead us to reflect on the macro and micro worlds around us. The photographs in this calendar remind us that things aren’t always what they seem. Be on the lookout in 2012.
