Sandrine Estrade is a French artist with a beautiful message:

“create a sensitive work that is fun, positive and totally disinhibited. In our crazy world surrounded by technology, where mobile phones, personal computers, game consoles and internet sites have become the main actors of our everyday life, it is essential to realize that we can also find pleasure in very basic, accessible and simple things in life such as riding our bicycle to the bakery in the morning, walking our kids to school, or simply wondering in the city, going for a walk in a park or anywhere else.”

I hope we have more fun, happiness and love on the year to come; a magical 2012 to everyone!

The flipbook onion calendar is a very cool concept of 365 image views of the sliced vegetable. The fun thing is that you can see the onion being sliced everyday, and if you just can’t wait, you can go ahead and animate it flipping the pages!
