Edit: 8/26/2020 These masks have now been made with upgraded FILTI filters due to harmful smoke from the Nor Cal fires.

Here is some pro bono label design work for @chumanityc Common Humanity Collective! All my years of instruction manual/line art illustrations made this project so smooth! 😁 ⠀
Since the beginning of the pandemic, my cousin Chris has been making “... low cost, easy-to-produce face coverings to donate to local partner organizations serving our unhoused communities, domestic violence shelters, and anyone else for whom social distancing and procuring personal protective equipment would otherwise be difficult or impossible
He has raised over $6,000 dollars to date and has organized about 60 volunteers to make masks at about .31 cents per mask. Most volunteers can make one of these masks in 3-5 minutes. He also has a cool field-testing video showcasing the effectiveness of shop towel material they use versus other home made mask materials.
He and his team have started working with @chumanityc to distribute masks, wipes, and hand sanitizers and they’ve delivered to over hundreds of organizations around the Bay Area (check out their impressive list on their website!)
My cousin is now back at work as a researcher (putting his new PhD to good use- go cousin!) and is busier than ever but still needs help!
Please consider donating or sign up to be a Bay Area volunteer to make masks at home via www.commonhumanitycollective.org
