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!
Here are the three different dove designs I have so far. They are available on a wide variety of products, including stickers, magnets, shirts, pins, etc.
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 is hands down the best person I have ever met, it is heartbreaking watching him suffer through this. I know this isn’t much help but I really don’t know what else I can do.
Full collection linked below, updating daily. There are a couple key of return designs too that don’t seem to be showing in the collection yet as of the time I’m posting this, they should be accessible through the main artist page.

Another poppy design pieced together from open source resources, this time in a map of Palestine. As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my Palestinian best friend to help him take care of his loved ones affected by the violence and economic devastation in Gaza and the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. Anything he doesn't need for his immediate friends and family will be donated to charity, wherever he thinks it will make the most difference (he's heavily involved in activism and very knowledgeable about that sort of thing).
You can find the above design here. Here is a sample of a few of the products it is available on, I think it will make a good sticker in particular:

Poppies are common in Palestine and are often used as a symbol, representing the colors of the flag and blood shed upon the land.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for this Palestinian 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.
You can buy this design on various products (shirts, stickers, pins, etc) here. All designs 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 the other designs I have featuring poppies, displayed here on stickers (all are available on a wide range of products):

Three hours to go until the ceasefire. I'm with my Palestinian friend at his lab, we're just working and waiting. I'm incredibly proud of the strength and composure he's shown in the face of this genocide, he's the most amazing person. Let's hope the ceasefire lasts, and the West Bank gets a reprieve soon too. Here's a poster I'm liking right now, with a reminder to feel free to print and use my stuff for anything so long as you are not profiting from it:
I want to thank everyone who has supported my fundraising shop. We received so much support, it's been so heartwarming! I really hope we get to spot some of my shirts, pins, etc at protests and rallies in the future. Even if the ceasefire holds this is far from over, we need to keep the pressure on!
I will continue to run this shop for the foreseeable future, there's so much damage to recover from in Gaza and Lebanon and the raids and economic restrictions in the West Bank are showing no signs of stopping. I would like to help him support his family as long as I can, and if that ever becomes less necessary I'll switch the shop income over to a relevant charity of his choice. For now, here is a selection of some of my popular designs:

Thank you again to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.
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):

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:

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 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 six keffiyeh pattern maps are now available in my shop. I like the top left in particular, the folds of the fabric follow the shape of the country nicely. Available individually or in a sticker pack containing smaller versions of all six. Designs are also available on other products like shirts, hats, notebooks, etc. The shop will randomize which product it shows you, click on them to see more options.
Thank you so much to the anonymous Canadian customer who bought the keffiyeh wearing dove on a sweatshirt this morning. You are a wonderful person.
I've seen a lot of people buy stickers from various sources or make their own to hand out at protests (personally I was thrilled to receive handmade solidarity stickers from a kind woman at my last union action), so if you're looking to take advantage of Redbubble's bulk deals I might suggest that use.
I've made a bunch of poppy designs, but the Faqqua iris is the more official national flower of Palestine, I figured I should do something with it too. You can find the above design here.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS are for my Palestinian best friend, to take care of his loved ones. He will donate any his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. He's hoping to donate most of it if possible, he always gives everything he can to those in need, which is really impressive because he has never had much for himself in his life. He's always the first person to buy food for the homeless people outside the cafe, or send a paycheck home to help his relatives, or bring food and supplies to a labor action. I currently have his nice coat because he put it on me when I was cold and told me to keep it (I'm going to wash it and give it back anyway, haha). Outside of a few sentimental possessions most of his stuff ends up being given away sooner or later to someone he thinks needs it more.
He felt weird about accepting this charity at first, I had to convince him to hold onto the money from this fundraiser for his own loved ones (some of whom are definitely in a really precarious position) rather than give it all away to charities immediately. He's so generous, even to his own detriment sometimes. You guys, I'm feeling really emotional today, I love him so fucking much. God I hope things get better soon.
Anyway, this design is kinda small so mostly for stickers but available on some other things too. Here are some examples:

Also to my fellow grad students, our department is currently working on making an easier path for grads to bow out of research they have a moral objection to, in addition to putting together a statement on Palestine. If you have a lot of colleagues on your side and particularly if you're in a program like engineering, physics, astronomy or applied math (with a lot of military applications) you should try to see where your funding is coming from and support grads in divesting from ethically questionable research. I won't say too much about what we're doing because I don't want to risk doxing my friend, but here are some examples of statements from grads at the Goldman School of Public Policy and the UCSC Astronomy Department. We (STEM students in particular) are the next generation of minds behind the military-industrial complex; let's make participation in the war machine unpopular.
Thank you to everyone who has participated in my fundraiser so far!
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.

The platform I run my fundraiser shop through has just added a new option for holographic stickers:
They should print looking shiny and metallic. 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.
You can find these in my shop HERE. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Here are some examples of other stuff in my shop:
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We greatly appreciate the support and we hope you are enjoying your purchases.
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).
