I was commissioned by Scholz & Friends as illustrator of The Tampon Book, a campaign for The Female Company which aims to end the ridiculous 19% luxury tax
on tampons by outsmarting the law - selling tampons hidden inside a book. The campaign is based in Germany but has gone internationally viral. The campaign sparked public debate which resulted in Germany changing its female sanitary products tax law.
Apart from being an inventive political statement, it’s a charming little book with stories and information about the subject, filled with uncompromising illustrations that are strong, confident characters, unashamed of periods.

“With these figures I want to free people from the taboo subject of periods, but I also want people to relate to the characters and make them feel okay with themselves.
My characters are not only proud, confident women, unashamed of periods, but they are also posed in our relaxed natural state - an unfiltered, genuine look, as opposed to the stereotypical 'Instagram look’. Hairy legs, hairy armpits, spots, floppy bellies, floppy boobs, cellulite, exposed labia. It was important to me to show all shapes and forms.“
