Lindsay Ford.

Author & Illustrator at Bread + Clutter. Curator of wild & memorable garments & mother of Franki.

When asked what inspires her, she responds //
“People. Colours. Time & space.”
“I feel like I’m pulled towards things that are strange or weird. Often seeing the subtle overlooked parts of life as the most inspiring.”
“I like to blend, mix, and clash all mediums together because I’m constantly doing everything at once & pull from many different facets in my life.”

On preferences //
“I don’t have favourites, I like a lot of things and it’s rare that I don’t like something. I do know that there’s a camel in India that doesn’t like me much.”

Check out her book “Tommy Tutu” – A story about how an awkward boy and an awesome tutu change the world. Based on a true Canadian story.
