Remind (https://www.linuxjournal.com/article/3529) comes with a
nifty utility called 'rem2ps', that draws a PostScript calendar
from remind's output. It could be a good starting point for
your project.

To get an idea what the output looks like, see 
https://ibb.co/GPjpq1t

Then you have to either manually paste in your pics, or (if your
postscript skill are top notch) inject the appropriate postscript
code (see rem2ps's -p option).

Since I don't want to do it manually and lack the skills to do it in
PostScript, I usually convert both the calendar pages and the pics to
PDF and then run a small script file containing a few pdftk commands
to scale and merge pages as needed.


To get a 1-month calendar:
$ remind -p1 /dev/null  | rem2ps -l -i -e -m Letter > mycalendar.ps

To get a 12-month calendar:
$ remind -p12 /dev/null | rem2ps -l -i -e -m Letter > mycalendar.ps


If you have a reminders file, replace "/dev/null" with its path and
all your important dates will also be marked on the printed calendar.
