Introducing my line of high-end fabric masks

June 9, 2020 By Lindsay Curren

At first I didn't think I wanted to produce a line of masks in response to the COVID-19 crisis. Even though I wrote an essay with a full-throated cry for fair pay for all the seamstresses out there (professional and hobbyists) who pivoted on a dime from their usual sewing and alterations work to mask-making, I still didn't think that I wanted to do it, for a couple of reasons: First, I mainly … [Read more...] about Introducing my line of high-end fabric masks

January 20, 2015 By Lindsay Curren

London 67

This week marked the release of Prime Number Issue #67, the cover of which I provided in the linoleum block print pictured above.

Food not lawns

September 12, 2014 By Lindsay Curren

Food Not Lawns

The Food: Not Lawns Movement may be one of the most perfect storms in addressing how we can simultaneously cut back on destructive practices in lawn care and centralized food production while increasing healthy and productive ones at the hyper-local level. Between fossil-fuel powered mowers and leaf blowers, heavy water use, application of synthetic — and too often toxic — herbicides and … [Read more...] about Food not lawns

Climate boot print

end food deserts now

This piece I decided to do in typography alone.
