Beyond Movember Calendar Illustrations
A calendar dedicated to looking beyond the Movember month 'November' and spreading men's health awareness all year round. A set of 12 images will be created for this project (currently ongoing) and they will be presented in a calendar format, with key dates being highlighted to show important men's health days.
Mainly physical conditions such as prostate and testicular cancer will be focused on, as well as mental health awareness, and a general positive attitude to caring for the mind and body. This will hopefully help eliminate the stigma men experience towards being tested for these life threatening illnesses, and bring forth a new and healthy perspective.
The illustrations for each calendar month will include a moustache that links to a particular health day, or the season in a humorous way to give a light-hearted and comfortable approach to such sensitive subject matter.
