The artist who made the first three graphics is Ann Silver
The link has a bunch of her art following a short bio.
"As a co-founding member of the historic Deaf Art Movement (DAM) of the 1960s that came before the Deaf View/Image Art movement(De’VIA) in 1989, I have fought for recognition, equality and social justice for the Deaf artist community — and have also advocated for the inclusion of Deaf Art in the museum/gallery world and in academia."

hello! I was wondering if these were ok to use as emojis (with credit of course) and if so, could the backgrounds be transparent?? Either way as someone who just took a class on asl and have been signing my entire life these look great!
Thank you so much!
Is there a specific sign you would like transparent? Or any signs I haven't done yet?
