I Drew A Journalist For My Fundraiser. I'm Not Very Experienced At Drawing People But I'm Practicing,

Thank you to everyone who has helped me fundraise for my friend! ALL PROCEEDS from my shop go to help my Palestinian best friend support his loved ones. I don't anticipate any of my new designs getting approved until after the weekend, so in the meantime I'll start the weekend by sharing what has sold so far this week:

Stickers:

Notebooks:

Shirts:

Magnets:

Pins:

Greeting Cards:

You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will display them with a random product, click on it to see all product options (shirts, stickers, bags, hats, etc).

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

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 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:

Dove Wearing Keffiyeh

Thank you so much to the anonymous customer from Dublin who bought this keffiyeh-wearing dove on a shirt yesterday!

ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales through my Redbubble shop will go to my Palestinian best friend (the most amazing person I've ever known) 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.

Design found here, all Palestine designs found here. Available on shirts, stickers, hats, notebooks, mugs, pins, etc. New designs being added pretty much daily.

Palestine Designs

My Palestinian best friend is an absolutely brilliant scientist and all around amazing person. He genuinely tries to help everyone he meets. It is heartbreaking seeing my dearest friend in so much pain. I wish there was more I could do to help.

A lot of his friends and family all around the Levant are being hurt directly and/or financially by the war. ALL PROCEEDS from the Palestine designs I have been selling 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.

I know it's not much but my hope is to at least ease the financial toll this will take on him, grad students don't have much to begin with and having to stretch what he does have to protect those he loves is going to be really tough as this conflict drags on. I don't want him to have to leave his research, I can't tell you much for his privacy but I assure you it is brilliant work and he loves it so much. No scientist should have to choose between their passion and the safety of their family.

Above is the latest design, found here. Mostly made with stickers in mind, though you can also find it on shirts, notebooks, hats, etc. There are 5 more versions of a map with a keffiyeh pattern waiting for Redbubble's approval now. Full collection can be found here, with new designs being added pretty much daily in a variety of styles.

This has been the favorite and best seller so far:

Thank you to everyone who has helped out.

Edit: Redbubble appears to be fixing the problem, my designs are starting to reappear so I'm going to unpin this now. You can find my fundraising shop here.

I have no idea why two thirds of the designs in my shop are not appearing now. While I wait for Redbubble to respond to me here are links to some of my bestsellers that have mysteriously vanished from my homepage (still seem available you just can't find them through my store). ALL PROCEEDS as usual are to support my Palestinian best friend:

Dove in Keffiyeh

Cat in Keffiyeh de Graag Edit one and two

Cute Cat in Keffiyeh

Palestine Sunbirds one and two

Woodcut Style Keffiyeh Dove over Poppy

Simple Poppy Design

Woman with Keffiyeh and Key - Meunier Edit

Hopefully Redbubble will sort out whatever is happening soon. Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Oh I'd also like to include this glitch art one which is pretty new but starting to get some sales:

I have a lot of other links throughout my Tumblr posts that should still work too.

I filled the rose petals in this design with pictures of my keffiyeh. The scarf was a gift from the friend I am raising money for. He gave it to me in mid October, he was very upset at the time and I was trying to comfort him. He took it off and put it on me and insisted I keep it. It is now one of my most prized possessions and I try to incorporate it in a lot of my designs.

ALL PROCEEDS from this and all my other designs are for this 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 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 this design (found here) on products:

You can find my full shop here, I have a lot of different designs in a bunch of different styles.

Here is a sample of some of the other designs I have (shown here on stickers, available on a lot of products):

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Palestine - The Land of Sad Oranges

The Jaffa orange holds a lot of symbolism for the Palestinian struggle. This varietal was developed in Palestine in the 19th century and named for the city Jaffa, where it was first produced for export. It has strong skin and few seeds, making it excellent for commercial use, so it was a major product from 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 seized land but never achieved the same success with the crop, and what remained of Palestine suffered ongoing violence and blockades preventing the industry there from further success. The Jaffa orange has remained a symbol of the Palestinian homeland, most notably in Ghassan Khanafani's short story The Land of Sad Oranges.

This orange with a Palestinian flag for a leaf can be found here on shirts, stickers, mugs and more. ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who have been/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 designs available here.

A simple edit of this open source image. Slingshots have become a common symbol of Palestinian resistance, as many heavily one-sided conflicts over the years have involved protesters throwing and slinging stones against the Israeli army who are of course fully equipped with guns, tanks and armor.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop 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 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. You can find the design above here. Here are some product examples:

I have been made aware that this free graphic looks somewhat similar to a Gogol Bordello album cover when on a yellow background, so just be aware of that possible association when purchasing I guess.

You can find my full shop here. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far! Here's a sample of some of my other stuff, displayed on some stickers and pins:

As always, EVERYTHING I RAISE from my shop is for my best friend to send home to support his friends and family in Gaza, the West Bank and surrounding areas of the Levant facing collateral damage. I think his family who live in Lebanon are okay at the moment at least but the situation there is obviously pretty uncertain right now. Hoping they stay safe, he has a few people who are very important to him living around Beirut.

I still haven't been able to find the definitive origin of the quote above, Pablo Neruda seems to be the most common suggestion. Would love to know if anyone knows. The two designs above are available on stickers, shirts, art prints and more in my shop HERE.
