Palestinian girls and women are forced to use tents as pads. People boost. Donate if you can
there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than lookļæ¼ a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.
a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.
if art gets better traction, then thereās an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.
within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gazaās fundraiser. itās a small effort in the grand scheme of things. itās not a fix it. but itās something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.
here is bashar. iāve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all
š§øšø (they/it+) i like to draw and play with toys sometimes šŗš§æ
