I was going to wait to post better pictures but I don't think I'm going to have spoons to take any soon. So here I guess is the premiere of this actual painted mask! #KeithHaring #MaskUp #DentecNx

A white elastomeric--as in, made of rubber--half-face respirator mask. This one is shaped to go from the bridge of the nose to under the chin. There are two disc-shaped attachments on either side for N95 filter pads. This respirator is digitally painted over in the style of pop artist Keith Haring. The filter compartments are blue and say IGNORANCE = FEAR, SILENCE = DEATH. There is a pink triangle on each one. The nose area has dancing people in bright, rainbow colors and says MASK UP FOR LIFE!! The head strap has been colored pink. There is a Haring-style pink barking dog in a center space. In the corners are examples of Haring's original artwork. One is brightly colored. It shows dancing people and reads "Ignorance = fear, silence = death. Fight AIDS / Act Up". There is a small pink triangle in the corner. The other is black and white linework of dancing people and it says "ACT UP FOR LIFE!!"

I'm designing a bunch of
Dentec Nx / Dentex NX MD masks for me & my family, bc destigmatizing quality respirator use NOW will save lives. This will be a thread of my design sketches! This first one is my fave rn, inspired by #KeithHaring
