Love American Sign Language? Support Deaf Artists!

ASL is a real, valuable, and beautiful language, used every day by members of the deaf community. It has a rich history, its own rules, and culture. Even better? When you purchase from a deaf artist, you are connecting with and supporting the deaf community and you can be confident that the signs in your art are correct because you bought from a native signer. 58 Creativity was founded to show ASL in clear, visual art that is easy to understand, even if you’re seeing ASL for the first time!

1: a tan T-shirt. The design has a mountain, trees, and play outside in English and ASL.

2: a sticker of the sign grow, which is green with a plant coming out of the top hand.

3: a sticker of the sign for tea with the base hand replaced with a teacup and leaves.

4: a blue button that has the sign for support and a heart under the words "Support Deaf Artists."

5: a note from the artist that says, "Thank you so much for purchasing and sorting my business as a deaf artist. Your support means a lot to me as it inspires me to create more." There is line art of the artist signing thank you.
