Who knew protective face masks would become a thing?! Experts are increasingly suggesting that masks may need to be worn for at least a year or two, or three, until the virus abates or a treatment becomes available. And trend forecasters are predicting that, as a result, they may become a fact of daily life, donned by all of us with the same unthinking passivity as a coat and sunglasses when we leave the house. But does that mean they should also become, like a coat and sunglasses, an individual fashion statement? Well I, for one, think they do! According to Edited, the digital retail tracking service, there has been an almost 40 percent increase in the number of masks offered by companies in the first quarter of 2020 compared to the end of 2019. In a blog post earlier this month, Josh Silverman, the chief executive of Etsy, reported that in a single weekend, buyers searched for face masks on the site an average of nine times per second, and the number of face mask sellers had grown five times, to almost 20,000. As artists, we are crazy not to jump on that bandwagon! Designing masks with our artwork and surface pattern designs should be second nature and using POD sites needs to become as effortless as any other task in our daily workflows.
