Calamityware is a small, fourth-generation family run business headquartered in Reisterstown, Maryland.
We believe in three things—having fun, taking naps, and making you happy. We’re sure we’re doing okay on the first two, and, based on the extravagantly ebullient missives we’ve received, we seem to be doing okay on the third as well.

Lauren
leads our customer service department. and resolves customer issues with a relentless and unstoppable energy. When customers write in with an issue, she knows where to look, who to call, and how to handle it. If she hasn't responded to your email yet, it's probably the weekend, and she's probably cheering on her kids on the basketball courts.
Ashley
manages Calamityware's communications, website, marketing, HR and operations. Overall, she ensures the whole operation is running smoothly and nips problems in the bud before they rear their ugly head. When she isn't busy keeping the trains running on time, she is rooting on the Orioles, UVA Cavaliers, or perhaps she's enjoying puppy yoga.
Jonathan
takes care of product development, purchasing, logistics, tech, finance, personnel, and any other fires that need quick extinguishing. If you can't reach him in the office, he may be at a trade show, but more likely on a golf course.
Jonathan
is our friend, whom we've worked with for years. With a diverse background in branding, graphic design, marketing strategy, photography, and web development, he brings a real jack-of-all-trades approach to all of Calamityware's content.
The idea for Calamityware grew out of a slightly fanatical habit of Don Moyer, who draws strange and otherworldly creatures doing everyday activities, and posts the sketches on Flickr.
After 30 years running his own successful communication and design consultancy, he jumped off the 9-to-5 train, took a long nap, and started Calamityware.

Calamityware’s first product was a Blue Willow porcelain plate festooned with a beautiful Asian pagoda and grouchy flying monkeys. We launched it on Kickstarter in 2013, and $19,270 later, the first batch of Don’s creatures began to march into existence, with more of Don’s monsters, robots, and aliens snapping at our heels.

Zooterkins is not impressed.
I'm excited to be the new captain of the Calamityware ship.
I love Don's drawings and I'm looking forward to developing lots of new product that will keep you smiling, but also slightly uncomfortable--like you might lose a finger at any moment...
