Sunrise-on-sea sea artist Jeff Rankin has made it possible for everyday folk to enjoy his Eastern Cape woodcuts – some of which were originally 50m long – by producing four different 2017 calendars featuring his work.

“I wanted to make the work accessible,” said Rankin. “Most of the work in the calendars has been sold, so this is a good way to keep it alive, plus I really love the idea of artist books and limited edition self-publishing.”
