Just Added A New Map And Poppy Design, On The Left. On The Right Is The Last One I Made. They Can Be

I made this simple sticker design last night, it's available on a handful of other products too, found here but I think it mainly works as a sticker/maybe a magnet. You can find my full shop here.

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.

These five designs have sold the best on stickers so far:

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

I added the keffiyeh I drew for my dove design to this simple bird silhouette.

You can find this design here, available on shirts, stickers, pins, mugs, etc. All designs found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options).

Here are the original dove I drew and the Palestine sunbird I also drew that use the same keffiyeh:

Both drawings come in a few different varieties (colors, details), see the shop for all options.

Here are some of the things from my fundraising shop that have sold recently:

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

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.

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.

I added a black and white version of the dome of the rock cutout to my fundraiser. ALL PROCEEDS as always are for my Palestinian best friend to support his loved ones (some updates on him below):

Some product examples (older colorful version included on a sticker for comparison):

We should hear back from the student we're trying to help by the end of this week hopefully, to know if their family figured out passage to Egypt (money is not enough, they have to get approved to leave and I think whatever agency they were originally working with stopped functioning so they're trying to figure it out now). If that works out the money will probably go there, if not it will continue to fill more basic food needs for his other loved ones for now. His friends and family are generally spread through Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon and all over the West Bank, so they are varying levels of in need/accessible for help/contactable, the situation is always in flux and we send the money where it seems to be needed most each month.

I realize the template I use for these posts has gotten pretty formulaic recently and I haven't updated on how my friend himself is doing in a while, so here's a little update. He's still quite sad of course but he seems to be managing it better. It looks to me like he's put a little weight back on. He's going to start seeing a therapist soon which is a huge step for him, it's something he was very resistant to for many months. He's been regularly hiking again which is something that was a huge part of our friendship before the war that he was too sad to do much of for a long time. He's also still doing amazing things with his research and is on track to graduate on time with at least one very early post doc offer already (and he's been a wonderful mentor to the undergrads in his group throughout everything). I'm very proud of him. He's very touched by all the support and kind messages he's received from all of you!

Here is a sample of some other pieces from my fundraiser:

A new simple design for the fundraiser, found here. Mostly made for t-shirts (you can change the background colors of the shirts on their product pages):

As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend to support his friends and family in Gaza and the West Bank (and surrounding areas in the Levant suffering collateral damage). At the moment mostly funds are going towards people he knows in Gaza to help them afford basic necessities as prices continue to climb.

I haven't talked about my friend on here much recently, but talking about the people involved in fundraisers seems important to keeping the fundraisers going strong. So I'm going to share a little story that just happened:

My friend has refused to receive presents from anyone since the war began; he feels weird having nice things while his loved ones suffer. Even getting him to accept this fundraiser for his family was a struggle, he's just not good at accepting help. He also won't buy himself anything for the most part.

Well he's very annoyed at me now for buying a new pair of shoes for him (his old ones had 6 inch tears down the side and were actively injuring him). I did relent and give him the old ones back with the best repairs I could manage (they're holding up for now), but he won't accept even the smallest gifts from me unless I let him pay me back for the new shoes, which of course I will not do. This includes the cup of tea I usually bring him at the gym (which was previously exempt from the gift rule). We argued back and forth about this stupid cup of tea for a long time yesterday, neither of us would let the other leave the parking lot without it.

Long story short I flung the cup of tea through the open window of his car as he tried to drive off, and it of course exploded everywhere. He picked up what was left and poured it all over me, gave me a hug and drove away. I don't think I've seen him laugh that hard since the war started honestly.

I love our ridiculous, weirdly combative friendship. He's like the brother I never had. Thank you all for helping me support him.

Here are some other shirts from my shop (my friend is modeling the exercise shirt in the top left, face removed for privacy):

A new sticker and pin for the fundraiser, featuring the Palestinian and Lebanese flags:

I think the sticker in size large would make a good size/shape for a bumper sticker. Also available on various other products, you can find them all here.

As always 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 (at the moment displaced friends that his family in Lebanon are hosting need groceries and basic supplies, that is likely where this month's funds are going).

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):

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:

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.

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.
