Illustration for Bloody Yes! - a combined wall calendar and cycle syncing guide created by Shevolution, a design collective based in Malmö.
Bloody Yes! is an illustrated wall calendar aiming to empower women who menstruate through better knowledge of their biology, using the tools of science, art and design. Twelve of the most exciting female illustrators across the world - from Costa Rica to South Korea - have been hand picked to interpret a month in the calendar, each supplying a custom made artwork exclusively for the Bloody Yes! project.
The calendar is not only a beautiful piece of artwork, though. An informational section introduces the four phases of the female cycle and explains how they affect our bodies and minds - scientifically based knowledge that few are aware of. Bloody Yes! is a non profit project created solely by women for women. The concept was created and launched by Shevolution, a creative female collective founded by a trio of Swedes: illustrator Lina Ekstrand, art director Louise Matell and journalist Eva Paulsen.
The complete profits from the sales of the Bloody Yes! calendar were donated to the international grassroots organisation Women for Women International.

I was asked to create an illustration for a Fall month, which represents the moods –"Moody / Sensitive / Emotional / Angry”and interpret the theme and portray these feelings in my own style.
