For the first time, I’m pulling together 12 friends, each of whom I hope will create and submit one month for the calendar. All proceeds will go to support my friend Pat. You can use any medium: paint, cardboard, dirt, bubble wrap, crayons, photos, clippings, hair, glitter... anything. Just make sure your final submission is a correctly formatted PDF.
As you can see from the image above, each page is 5.5” x 7.5”, and each month has two pages. One could be used for an illustration and the other to show the days of the month.
I would like to receive all submissions on Google Drive by August 15th to allow enough time to get a handful of calendars printed by the end of September. I will send you all a calendar as well. If you want to participate message me the month you want and I'll update the site to prevent duplicates.

Who is Pat? I bought my bike from a Facebook ad shortly after moving to New York. The shop was on the corner of Elizabeth and Grand, run by a woman named Pat and her bulldog. A few months ago, I stopped by to visit and found an older man clearing out the store, who said that she had lost the store after being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and was probably not going to make it.
Through a Reddit post, I connected with someone else trying to figure out how to help. They started a GoFundMe, and donations have been very generous. Incredibly, Pat beat cancer and was ready to be discharged but she had lost both her shop and her house. Thanks to the GoFundMe, she recently moved into a new apartment to continue her recovery.
I appreciate you all and hope you're interested in contributing to the calendar. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Keenan
