Design cut from from "Traité historique et pratique de la gravure en bois" by Jean Michel Papillon, 1766. I really prefer this one on the notebooks (pictured here) and stickers! Shop: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/152993630
I am absolutely in love with the Reem Kufi font (on the left), it's a beautiful blend of historical and modern design (though a little hard to read if you're still new to Arabic, haha). The Arabic characters were designed by Khaled Hosny if you want to check out the artist. I've used it for a bunch of simpler designs as well on my Redbubble recently.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from these designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He is a brilliant scientist and the kindest man I have ever known, I hate seeing him suffer like this and want to help in whatever small way I can.
The designs above (and a bunch more) can be found here. Available on stickers, shirts, pins, notebooks, etc (click on each to see more product options).

A new fundraiser design found here, particularly good for stickers:
As always ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my best friend who is Palestinian. The extra income will help him support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. Recently we've been trying to help a friend of his get out of Gaza to an Egyptian university to finish their studies, if we can obtain the necessary permissions for them. They're a brilliant student and they are hoping they can get a good job to support their family after school, but sadly there are no universities left in Gaza now. If that doesn't work out this month's money will probably just go to helping a few more friends/extended family purchase food. We're kinda figuring out who needs it most at a given time as we go.
Here is a sample of some of my other work, starting with a couple related designs (all are part of the fundraiser):

Less than 2.5 hours until the ICJ delivers an interim ruling. I for sure am not going to be sleeping or getting any work done so I'm just going to reshare a few of my favorite recent designs from my fundraising shop and then work on making more. Of my recent works I probably like the Warhol inspired one I posted earlier this afternoon the most, top left:
ALL PROCEEDS from my work support my Palestinian best friend in keeping his family safe. He will donate anything he doesn't need to the charities he works with. You can find my shop here, the designs are available on a bunch of different things (shirts, stickers, posters, etc).
I really hope things with the ICJ go okay, I'm worried my friend will take it quite poorly if they do nothing. His mental health has finally been starting to improve (I think largely thanks to his wonderful partner being here with him) but I worry this could really set him back. He is the sweetest guy I've ever known, it's heartbreaking watching him go through this. The poor guy has lived through so much terrible stuff and still somehow sees the good in everyone. He's a passionate activist for so many good causes, a brilliant and dedicated scientist and an incredibly kind, selfless friend to so many people. The world would be a better place if more people were like him.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far.
Some pins from my fundraising shop:

I haven't posted about how he's doing in a while so here is a brief update if anyone was wondering. He's been quite miserable (more than usual even) since the escalation into Lebanon, he has family there too, but he's hanging in there. They're safe for now and we really hope the ceasefire in a couple hours actually happens and lasts. He also got injured not long after the escalation which really messed up his usual coping mechanisms (running/going to the gym), but he's recovering well now and we're at least lifting weights again. Despite the stress he's still doing impressive things with his research, and working crazy hours at it. He's supervising and mentoring several younger students on top of his own work and doing an amazing job of keeping it together for them, I'm so proud of him. He's the strongest and nicest person I've ever met and I know he's going to do amazing things with his life.
Anyway, you can find all my art in my shop HERE. There are a lot of other product options besides pins as well (shirts, stickers, notebooks, bags, etc).

Just added a new map and poppy design, on the left. On the right is the last one I made. They can be found here and here. Poppies are common in Palestine and are often used as a national symbol, representing the colors of the flag and blood shed upon the land. I used my keffiyeh as a backdrop for the design on the left, it was a gift from the friend I am raising money for.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from my designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

I've been saving this bubble graphic for a while, I found this nice Dome of the Rock image on Pixabay and I really love how the colors work together! I think it would make a great sticker.

He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem. It's the oldest surviving work of Islamic architecture. The iconic gold color was actually added starting in 1959, before that the dome was covered in blackened lead.
Here is the above printed on a few things (shirts, sticker, pin, hoodie):

Happy election day everyone, the date just made me realize I've been running this fundraiser for a little over a year now. Rather depressing, but I am very grateful for all the support you have given my best friend through this awful time.
I decided to make a new version of this text design for my fundraiser since I think the Arabic letters, being thinner and more stylized, were not standing out as much in green. Like the older one, this was mostly made as a sticker design. You can find it here. Here are demos of this and my two older interwoven English/Arabic designs on stickers:

There are over a hundred other designs in a wide variety of styles in my shop too, I hope you find something you like.
Also I'm not going to tell you all how to vote but I do hope all eligible Americans do plan on voting today even if you can't stomach voting for a mainstream candidate. A protest vote is a lot stronger statement than staying home, since something like 30-50% of the eligible population tends to not vote in this country anyway. Realistically not voting is likely to be analyzed as routine apathy rather than a statement. A third party vote shows you are a participating voter who can be courted in future elections. So whatever way you choose to vote please do it!
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.
Three of my favorite flag designs from my fundraiser. The top and bottom make use of old open source prints, the middle is all NASA photography.
As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend to support his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

Starving grad student running a small Redbubble shop (initially for side income, now for fundraising for my Palestinian friend). Made this blog to share my designs, found here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/fairiedance/shopMy best friend (an absolutely brilliant scientist and compassionate social activist, seriously the best person ever) is a Palestinian grad student studying in America, and a lot of his friends and family are being affected by the genocide in Gaza and the fallout in the West Bank and surrounding areas. I have started selling Palestine related designs in my shop. EVERYTHING I RAISE he sends to his loved ones to help in various ways as the situation progresses.Designs not related to Palestine have been removed from my shop for now (probably for good at this point).
