Approval Of "controversial" Designs (so Everything Related To Palestine) Has Been Really Slow This Week.

I put my three pixel art characters together for a sticker pack along with a handful of smaller designs. It can be found here.

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 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.

You can find my full shop here. Each design is available on a lot of different products besides the default Redbubble shows you, click on each product or click on "explore designs" to see more options.

Here's a handful of other stuff I have:

I've got a new pop art, Warholesque version of the bottom left one that should be published tomorrow so keep an eye out for a post on that.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Resharing some map designs from my fundraiser. EVERYTHING I RAISE 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. Here are some more:

And here are some examples of products with the various map designs (the model for the exercise shirt is the friend I am raising money for):

A new edit of one of my older designs. Found in my fundraising shop here (I mostly made this one for stickers but it is also available on a few other things like shirts and tote bags).

Also as usual please feel free to use my art for your own stuff (activism projects, posters, social media posts, whatever), just please don't try to profit off my work.

Palestine Bird Designs

One of the first times I spoke with my friend (the one I am fundraising for) about Palestine he spoke so passionately about how birds represent freedom to him, as they come and go over the walls at will. Israel has caused absolute devastation to Palestine's wildlife, cutting off migratory pathways for land animals and destroying habitats. Birds (though still hurt by habitat loss of course) can pass over the barriers. Watching them fly across the walls is a bittersweet thing for those trapped within them. The flight of birds has represented freedom to so many cultures, but there's a certain extra emotional poignancy that comes with the symbolism for people who are trapped by the same barriers that the birds traverse with ease.

Of course this is not the only reason I make so many bird designs, doves are a standard symbol for peace and I'm also absolutely obsessed with birds in general, but the way my friend told it was very touching and I wanted to share. My various bird designs have gotten a lot of attention the last few days, so I'll compile all my birds so far in one place here:

You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will show you a random product, click on it to see all product options (shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc). ALL PROCEEDS 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.

Palestine Designs

A selection from the things I have made these past couple weeks. My best friend is Palestinian and ALL PROCEEDS from these designs will go first and foremost to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely, and after that helping his other loved ones weather this war.

All these and a few more available here. All designs are available on multiple products (shirts, notebooks, pins, etc), the ones shown are just examples. Anything not showing up in the shop is being reviewed by Redbubble and should be up soon.

Thank you to everyone who has helped so far. This friend means a lot to me and anything to make this horrible situation a little easier for him is greatly appreciated.

Here's another sample of things from the fundraiser (shirts, stickers, pins, notebooks).

We haven't been able to get in touch our university student acquaintance in Gaza at all this week (or their relatives in the West Bank). We're assuming the search for passage to Egypt has not gone well, until we hear otherwise we anticipate the money will keep going to food for my friend's other friends/relatives there.

As always ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my best friend who is Palestinian.

Thank you to all of you for your support!

I want everyone to know you all have permission to use my art for your own profile photos, posts, flyers, etc. Crediting me would be great but is not required (I understand if you're making a flyer for an event for example having a bunch of extra text on there can clutter up the design). Any use of my art to raise awareness for Palestine is good! Do NOT sell my work or claim it as your own though (and please credit if someone asks you) and please do not attempt to replicate my products. ALL SALES are for my fundraiser for my Palestinian best friend.

Here are some examples of a few of my designs, Redbubble shows everything pretty low resolution to deter theft so if you want to use something you'll want to copy it from my Tumblr:

My shop is found here and I have posters, shirts, stickers, magnets, notebooks and a ton of other things. Each design is available on a lot of different products besides the default Redbubble shows you, click on each product or click on "explore designs" to see more options.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out!

Here's an older design from my fundraising shop and some history behind it (EVERYTHING I RAISE supports my best friend and his loved ones):

The Jaffa orange holds a lot of symbolism for the Palestinian struggle. This varietal of the fruit was developed in the 19th century and named for the city Jaffa, where it was first produced for export. It was a major export of the region until the industry declined under British rule and disruption from WWII. Finally the establishment of Israel caused irreparable damage as groves were seized or destroyed by settlers. Israel took over production on the seized land but never achieved the same success with the crop, and what remained of Palestine suffered ongoing violence and blockades preventing the industry from further success. The Jaffa orange has since remained a symbol of the Palestinian homeland, most famously in Ghassan Kanafani's short story The Land of Sad Oranges.

My design, an orange (from a vintage painting) with a Palestinian flag print on the leaf can be found here on shirts, stickers, mugs and more. This is one of my older works, from last November. EVERYTHING I EARN 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.

Sorry if I have made a mistake, but isn't Al Aqsa mosque often used colloquially to refer to the entire mosque compound, including the Dome of the Rock? I know that it's not the prayer hall but I thought the name was regularly extended to everything within the compound.

From what I can find (can't really read Arabic though so looking more at English sources) it is often considered Zionist strategy to focus on the dome/downplay the rest of the compound, but most (though admittedly not all) Islamic sources I saw stress that the entire compound is still Al Aqsa, including the dome. Some were actually quite adamant that the dome, main prayer hall, other prayer halls and all other parts indoors and outside be included as part of the mosque so the occupation cannot as easily claim control of or destroy parts of it. I believe the Arabic language Wikipedia for example is taking that stance in defining المسجد الأقصى in the "اعتقادات خاطئة عن حدوده بسبب الاحتلال" section (will ask my fluent friends later to confirm though, I am still a beginner and very far from fluent).

I will add "compound" to the original post though, regardless of the Arabic nomenclature that definitely captures the meaning better in English, thank you for pointing it out. I unfortunately can't add it to the shop though because I've run up against Redbubble's 8 word title limit.

Palestine Brushstroke Designs

Three brushstroke overlay photos, two of the Al-Aqsa Mosque Dome of the Rock and one of the Palestinian flag.

For those who haven't seen my posts yet, my best friend (the nicest person I have EVER met, hands down) 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 the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. ALL PROCEEDS from these designs will go first and foremost to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely, and after that helping his other loved ones weather this war.

These designs are found in my collection here on stickers, shirts, mugs, etc, along with all of my other work. New stuff being added pretty much daily. The first two should be live now, the last is waiting for approval and will probably be up by tomorrow.

I'd also like to point out the three designs that have received the most attention on Redbubble so far:
