Trying Something A Little Different Here, At The Recommendation Of A Friend. Some People Use Stickering

Just got another design approved! A little dove wrapped in a keffiyeh.

ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales through my Redbubble shop will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him bring his girlfriend over to America. Any left over will be used to help his family/other loved ones affected by the war. He’s an incredible person. Kind, altruistic, a genius scientist, passionate activist and all around the best person I have ever met. He deserves so much better than all the horrible things happening right now.

Find the design here (sorry the mugs look a little weird in the previews, not sure if the company will print them right):

I hope you all have found your local protest to join Monday (10/7), we're coming up on a year of active genocide. I'd really like to thank everyone who has helped me support my best friend through this fundraiser. He feels really weird accepting help from anyone but as grad students we get paid like shit so the extra money for his family is extremely useful. I was worried (still am honestly given the escalation recently) that he was going to have to delay his PhD to work more hours to support them (he's had to do so before unfortunately, he's had to overcome so many challenges coming from a family of refugees). The kindness shown by complete strangers has been heartwarming. Things are looking very bleak right now but it is some comfort to know how many people out there are fighting for this cause alongside him. When things started up a year ago he felt so alone, the shift in public sentiment has been great to see.

These are some of the best selling designs from the fundraiser so far:

Here are a few sample products with these designs:

Stickers are generally the most popular products. Shirts and pins also make a lot of sales, but there are a ton of other options in the shop: notebooks, puzzles, magnets, mugs, bags, posters and plenty more. EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend. 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.

Thank you again for all the support!

Two new designs for my fundraising shop, found here and here. The first is the word فلسطين (Palestine in Arabic) edited into a simple open source dove design. The second is a vintage photo of stained glass windows in a mosque in Bethlehem (West Bank) from the Library of Congress. The original is pretty faded and dull, I messed with the saturation and contrast to make it pop more for a sticker design. It's pretty low resolution so I only have it available on stickers and a couple other small products. I really love this photo, it looks like it would make a great metal album cover (kinda reminds me of Sick With Bloom).

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 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. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Here are the above displayed on a couple products:

Dove With Keffiyeh - New Variants

For those who haven't seen my posts yet, my best friend (the best person I have EVER known) is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant 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. ALL PROCEEDS from these designs will go to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely and helping his other loved ones weather the violence and financial hardship.

(also sorry for double posting, account is being weird)

This dove wearing a keffiyeh is one of my most popular designs so far, so I've added four new versions of it. Thank you to the customer who bought this dove and four other designs on stickers yesterday! These designs (and a bunch more) can be found here. Available on stickers, shirts, pins, prints, etc (click on each to see more product options).

We're hopeful that the ceasefire will mitigate the harm being done to my friend's family going forward. He's already had some loved ones hurt that this money can help so for now I will continue the fundraising (plus we do not feel safe hoping that the ceasefire will last, unfortunately). For now his girlfriend has remained safe and financial planning for her trip here is going okay. Most of his immediate family is okay (extended family and friends not entirely so unfortunately). I will keep updates somewhat vague to protect their privacy. We greatly appreciate all your help!

ALL PROCEEDS from my designs go to my Palestinian best friend to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down 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. He plans on donating anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. You can find the design above here printed on stickers, hats, shirts and many other products.

I know people get really excited to see Palestine on old maps, because it's proof that it existed long before it was colonized. With this in mind I dug through the Wikipedia on Cartography of Palestine for my next fundraising design. This one is the 1769 Bachiene and Maas version, featuring "Palaestina". I overlayed it on an antique paper graphic to give it this look. I have two versions found here: with and without the flag overlay.

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 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). 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 the above on products:

A lot of pins from my fundraising shop have been selling recently (particularly the woodcut dove over a poppy shown first below) so here is a preview of what a bunch of my designs look like on pins:

Another sample of art from my fundraiser (ALL the money I make from the shop goes to support my Palestinian best friend's loved ones):

I'm selling these designs and many more on shirts, stickers, notebooks and a ton of other products to support my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. He sends the money 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.

A collage I made. The pictures are a sunbird, keffiyehs, poppies, a man with a flag (and another flag), a key, oranges, the Dome of the Rock from the Al-Aqsa compound, a woman in a traditional outfit and some olives.

Bulbul with Palestinian Flag

When I asked my friend about birds from his home the first thing that came to mind for him was the bulbul.

This little guy is the white-spectacled bulbul, a medium-sized passerine described as "conspicuous and noisy". They're common around Palestine, my friend has many fond memories of them. I have just added this drawing of one holding a Palestinian flag to my shop.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from this design will go to my Palestinian best friend 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. You can find the design here printed on a lot of different products.

Also funny story when I first looked up bulbuls my friend wasn't checking too closely what photo I had up on my phone and I spent a long time believing the red-whiskered bulbul was from Palestine (it's not, it's from south Asia). So much so that I actually drew the wrong bird at first. Oops. So, I probably won't sell this guy because he doesn't make a lot of sense as a symbol for Palestine (maybe I'll repurpose him into an unrelated design after the war) but here you go, solidarity for Palestine from this lovely little tropical frugivore:

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far, I really appreciate you. My friend is hunting now for a new living space to accommodate his partner when she gets here. Housing as a grad student is always a nightmare, I'm so grateful that you all are helping with the deposit. My friend is also doing his best to figure out help for his family back home (a chaotic situation, just getting in contact with some relatives has been a mess so far). I'll try to add some updates as things progress (as usual, vague to protect their privacy).
