My writer buddy Marie wrote a very informative blog article about the diva cup – Read her arguments for why the cup is a sustainable alternative to tampons and towels here (in Danish).
I volunteered to draw a doodle to go with the article and bam! Creative and friendly collaboration happening.
It was fun to do this specific drawing job because I have a lot of creativity that I don’t always know where to put. Having a deadline made me squeeze in some very productive doodle time after work, when I usually just watch Youtube.
