This one was inspired directly by my Palestinian friend, he's a labor activist and he has done some incredible work in various unions (and non-union movements) over the years. He's nice enough to have put some serious time into labor organizing for free for employees of organizations he doesn't even work for just because he hates seeing people being treated unfairly. When I tell you he is the nicest person I have EVER met I really mean it. I actually met him through his labor activism.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from these will go to this wonderful man to help him afford to bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around 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. The cat is found here and here (on shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc). All designs found HERE (click on each to see more product options).
For those not familiar, this is the black cat/wildcat/sabo-tabby, an old union symbol likely designed by IWW member Ralph Chaplin. It is associated with sabotage, wildcat (unprotected) strikes and other radical labor actions.
By the way, did you know that Israeli trade unions have historically fought against the Arab workforce?
Recently this tatreez + keffiyeh design in my fundraiser has been selling well so I wanted to reshare it:
As always EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. The money is sent home 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.
This design has been particularly popular on less common products recently, like phone cases. Here are some example products:
You can find the design here. The keffiyeh is an open source pattern, the tatreez I drew in FlossCross.
Here is a sample of my other work:
You can find all of my work in my shop HERE. You can filter by product with the menu on the left side of the page or go here to browse by design. Generally stickers are the most popular (and have the best profit margins for the fundraiser).
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.
A new version of this design is now in my fundraiser shop, with a bitmap filter and "فلسطين حرة" (roughly "free Palestine").
EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. The money is sent home 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. For example a recent month's worth of sales went to a relative of his in Lebanon who is helping feed and shelter displaced people.
This design uses a keffiyeh from an open source photo with eyes from a vintage illustrated movie poster. You can find it here on a variety of products (stickers, clothes, prints, etc). Here are some examples of products with this design:

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design 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.
You can find this design here. All designs found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). I accidentally made this guy a bit small so he's ideal for those looking for smaller products like pins, stickers and mugs.
Trying something a little different today, here's my first attempt at pixel art. The design can be found here, it was made with stickers in mind but it is available on a lot of products.
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.
All my designs can be found here (Redbubble will display them on a random product, click on each to see more product options such as shirts, stickers, pins, bags, etc). Edit: collections cap out at 100 products apparently, so from now on see my full range of designs here on my main page (I have temporarily removed all designs not related to Palestine).
Here are some examples of products with this design: a sticker, poster and pin. I'll probably try to make a few more pixel art things sometime in the next couple weeks and then put some of them together in a sticker pack for people who want small versions (extra tiny stickers seem to me to suite this art style well).
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate it.
I run a fundraising shop where I sell Palestine related designs and all income goes to keeping my best friend's family safe. My friend graciously agreed to model the gym shirt I got him from the shop:
The left is the product mockup, the right is my friend (cropped to protect privacy of course). It's still a little wrinkly from the package here but I think it turned out nicely. The printing is pretty light and thin which I guess is unsurprising for a stretchy exercise shirt, I imagine it will be heavier on the standard clothes. He says it's comfortable and it held up through our workout with no issues.
You can find my full shop here. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Each design is available on a range of products such as stickers, shirts, pins, bags, puzzles, posters, notebooks and mugs. The selection varies depending on the design.
Here are some examples of other shirt/sweatshirt designs:

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).

Here are some of the designs from my fundraiser that feature the Palestinian flag. They're shown here on stickers but available on many other products as well:
My favorites are probably the art nouveau print one, the NASA photography one and the bulbul holding a flag.
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 started trying to help a friend of his get out of Gaza to an Egyptian university to continue their studies, if we can obtain the necessary permissions for them. If not the money will probably just go to helping a few more people get food.

Here's another compilation of stickers/pins from my fundraiser:
As always EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. The money is sent home to support his friends and family in Gaza, in the West Bank and sometimes those elsewhere in the Levant caught up in the conflict (such as the many displaced people in Lebanon). Right now the situation is looking increasingly desperate in the West Bank, 40,000 people are already displaced and we're scared to see how far things are going to escalate. Thankfully most of his immediate family are safe for now.
You can find all of my work in my shop HERE. You can filter by product with the menu on the left side of the page or go here to browse by design. There are also shirts, mugs, notebooks and plenty of other products besides the ones shown here.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.
Here are some new pieces for my fundraiser. The keffiyeh is edited from this open source work by a photographer in Gaza and the eyes are cut from a vintage movie poster. On the left the backdrop is the graffiti from a wall in Bethlehem (بيت لحم) in the West Bank.
You can find these and all my other designs here.
I have a couple more versions of the glitch art (on the right) with backgrounds:
I also made this Warhol inspired pop art last week with this same template (as well as a couple other things, see the shop to see all options):
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until it's safe for her to travel back home 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 raids in the West Bank (this has unfortunately hit his family quite hard) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. He's heavily involved in activism and I trust him to put the money where it can make the most difference.
Here are some examples of the above on various products (personally I really like the glitch art with no background on stickers and pins):
Again check out my shop here for all these and a ton of other designs. Note that stickers are cheaper in bulk, if you get 4 stickers you get 25% off and if you get 10 you get 50% off (these can be any stickers, not just from my shop). They're great for handing out at protests!
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! Your support means a lot to us. I read my friend the sweet messages some of you have left for him through the shop and he was very touched.
This is an edit of a public domain panel from an old comic. I added the keffiyeh. You can find it here.
ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining in America until it's safe for her to travel back home (at this point she's hoping to head back soon-ish as her city has been somewhat safe recently) 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 raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. The illegal detentions and economic crisis in the West Bank have hit his family the hardest so far. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
Some example products (I think this one will be particularly good for stickers and posters):

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).
