2017 Perth Calendar
In 2010, after several years of designing and marketing humorous greeting cards, I was encouraged by friends and clients to produce a calendar. The most popular cards were the satirical Perth designs so I decided to make the calendar along similar lines. The response was fantastic and there have now been six editions of The Perth and Western Australia Calendar.
The calendar uses a mix of cartoons, news pics, retro graphics to satirise WA culture and politics.
It's been a very creatively satisfying project to undertake very year but it's also been a labour of love, which as usual, has stretched all my resources. The actual content of the 2017 calendar has been completed. The main task now is to pay for its production.

As well as providing plenty of laughs, The Perth Calendar is also a very handy reference for residents of WA. It has the dates for local state school terms, school holiday start and end dates; PIAF, Fringe World, Perth Comedy Festival and Royal Show opening and closing dates; and WA public holidays.
How The Funds Will Be Used
Funds raised will go directly to the printing of the 2017 edition of the calendar so it can be in the shops for Christmas.
Printing: $5500.00
Advanced retail orders: $1500.00
Difference: $4000.00
Printing costs also include the collating, binding and delivery.
Any additional funds raised will be used to increase the print run and go towards the calendar's 2018 edition.
The Challenges
This is the busiest time of the year for the card and calendar business so the challenge will be getting all the extra stock on the shelves and into letterboxes & market stalls on time but it's a problem I'm looking forward to having!
