Don’t just kill time this year — watch it pass in style with Steven J. Athanas’ “Ha Ha Mayans! We’re Still Here!” 2013 calendar. The longtime local musician and artist began making calendars several years ago to distribute among family members, pairing his drawings with light verse and stories. This year’s edition, the title of which pokes fun at certain much-publicized doom-laden prophecies, features more of the same, with a different “pome” each month. There’s an ode to Lewis Carroll, a whimsical sea shanty, and (yes) a dig at those wacky Mayans, all illustrated with Athanas’ whimsical line drawings. The calendar retails for $15, and can be found at the Hudson Gallery and American Gallery in Sylvania. Or, contact Athanas on Facebook at www.facebook.com/artofstevenjay/timeline. —MD
