We’re like a gift shop for the apocalypse. Bleak, but fun!
Eyedot Creative is an irreverent, darkly funny greeting card, sticker, and giftables brand based in Nashville, Tenn. Founded by designer and illustrator Lindsey Turner, our products feature themes of despair, burnout, existential angst, anxiety, and living through the end times. It’s more fun than it sounds.
We are inspired by pop culture, politics, ‘80s and ‘90s nostalgia, current events, internet memes, puns, horror movies, science fiction, capitalism, religion, anxiety, introversion, biology, anatomy, social isolation, existential dread and loneliness, mental health, and the absolute bonkers fact that any of us are alive at all, honestly.
You can find our products in our online shop, or at various markets throughout the year. Eyedot Creative also wholesales cards, stickers, and art prints, so let your favorite retailer know you’d like to see Eyedot products in their shop!

Lindsey Turner
founder, artist & designer:
… has been a 40-year-old woman at heart for a long time, and has finally assumed her true physical form as a 40-year-old woman as well, and it’s going great. Really great.
… survived employment in both journalism and nonprofits. Please clap!
… lives in Nashville with her husband, son, and three big dogs in a perpetual state of disarray.
… is classically trained in using humor as a way to defuse tension in any situation, even ones that don’t have any tension. Like this bio.
… has one other party trick: Reciting the U.S. presidents in chronological order to the tune of “Yankee Doodle Dandy.”
What’s an Eyedot?
Eyedot refers to the nevus (a freckle basically) in Lindsey’s eye. She was born with it and it’s just been hanging out there in her eyeball since.
Mission, Vision, and Values
Mission
Eyedot Creative’s mission is to celebrate all of life’s mystery, banality, beauty, and absurdity through artwork and gifts that feature colorful, fun illustrations and designs with dark, relatable humor you won’t find anywhere else.
Vision
To make a wide variety of people feel seen and loved through humor that it intensely relatable.
Values
Everyone is unique and worth celebrating.
Everyone is weird.
Weird is not bad.
For all its faults, the experience of being human is truly an amazing thing.
Life is all about finding the balance between the sublime and the tragic. Because neither one can exist without the other.
The chapter of life that follows death is an exciting and terrifying mystery but we’d like to live a nice long life before finding out, thanks. We may joke about wanting off this planet and how fun it would be to be dead, but we do so in celebration of the silliness of the human experience.
No one knows what happens after this one precious life, so let’s all just chill the fuck out and be kind to each other while we’re alive.
That means fighting for improvements to the material conditions in which all people live.
That means listening to the voices of marginalized communities and abolishing racist systems of injustice and oppression.
That means staunchly defending the right to bodily autonomy.
Yeah, we’re one of those companies.
We also understand that we ourselves work within the framework of American capitalism, and that is problematic AF.
We strive to continue learning and growing, and appreciate the chance to 1) know better 2) do better in all human things.
