Cover of 2012 Pan Trinbago Calendar
Global - Pan Trinbago has commissioned popular
local cartoonist Keith “Keithos” Anderson to illustrate
it’s first-ever calendar.
The months of the year
depict milestones along the way in the development of
the steel pan. These include the famous riots outside
Globe cinema, Pan Parang, Pan in the 21st century, Pan at NAPA (National
Academy for the Performing Arts), Pan Night and Day, the
P.H.I.
(Percussive Harmonic Instrument) and Sparrow’s “the
outcast” to name a few.
“Keithos” has staged
exhibitions at NALIS (National Library and Information
System Authority), Port of Spain, Carnegie Free Library,
San Fernando and
Baltimore Comic con, Baltimore, USA. He is also
noted for his caricatures of Pan, mas, calypso, chutney
and political icons. His most recent works are “Fifty
faces and Sh-t Talk Back in Town.” He is well known for
his illustrations in one of Trinidad & Tobago’s national
newspaper dailies.
According to the
illustrator, “all credit must go to Keith Diaz,
President, Pan Trinbago. He had the ideas and based on
that, I executed the artwork.”
Anderson added: “Keith
[Diaz] wanted something that would raise Pan Trinbago’s
profile, be educational and have people talking.”
The limited edition 2012
calendars were printed by Julian Graphics.
