More Stickers From The Fundraiser:

I want to share how one of my favorite stickers from my fundraising shop looks after printing (sorry the photo is a little poorly lit). I've bought a bunch of stickers from my shop to test how they turn out and give them to my friends, and I'm quite happy with how well this one in particular tends to print (quality may still vary depending on your local print shops, if your order gets messed up Redbubble should give you a refund or new copies).

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my Palestinian best friend to help him support his loved ones. I've just been informed that some of the money I've raised has made it through to people he has in Gaza to help them purchase food, I'm very happy to hear this.

I have a new design that's been stuck waiting on approval for a bit now, hopefully I will have it up by tomorrow. For now, here's a sample of my older works. They're available on shirts, stickers, hats, notebooks, pins and all kinds of other things (selection depends on the design):

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. I try to vary between a wide range of different styles so there's something for everyone. I have 146 designs published and counting, I'm going to keep adding as many as I can until my friend's loved ones are all safe. Thank you to everyone who has helped so far!

This is the most popular shirt design in my fundraiser:

And here is the most popular design for bags and notebooks:

Making new art is starting to hit diminishing returns, so I am going to try to spend a little more time promoting my existing work. I will still be making new stuff, just a little slower. I currently have 168 designs, each available across a wide range of products. 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.

I started doing this around the end of October/start of November and I've improved a lot at design in this time. I deleted all my older art and my shop is now a full time fundraiser for my best friend, who is Palestinian and the sweetest person in the world. It has been heartbreaking watching him suffer, I am attempting to help provide a little financial security for his family at least. We are grad students so we don't earn very much (speaking of grad school, go protest! There are protests at so many universities right now, please join one!).

I honestly didn't expect this shop to get much response, I'd only had it a few months and I'd never sold a single product before I started making designs about Palestine. I'm super touched by all the support we have received. I know there are lots of bigger, more official and more important fundraisers out there, but this was all I could think to do for my friend while still protecting his privacy. I'm very grateful you all have given me the means help this wonderful person and I'm so happy to see people using my art to promote the cause further. Thank you!

Finishing my dissertation so I've been super busy, fundraiser is still going though! Some designs (for shirts, stickers, mugs, pins, etc):

As always 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 (it's gotten extremely bad there) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

You can find all of my work in my shop HERE. You can filter by product with the menu on the left side of the page or go here to browse by design. Here's a couple examples of designs printed on products:

The model for the gym shirt in photo 3 is the friend I am raising money for (cropped for privacy).

This is not end to grad school we imagined. I'm so proud of my friend for how he's handling everything though. Still doing his activism in the face of all the government threats, and still doing incredible research despite all the setbacks. He's the strongest person I've ever known.

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! The support means a lot to us, we hope you are enjoying your purchases.

An edit of a 1913 de Mesquita print, available here.

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

Here are a few of my other edits of vintage prints:

I have 87 designs so far, with more being added regularly. I try to keep a large variety in styles so there's something for everyone. Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Finally got more or less caught up on research yesterday so I made a few new things for my fundraiser:

These are all edits of an old vintage photo of the Dome of the Rock from the Al-Aqsa mosque compound. It looks a little different than it does today. There have been several renovations since this was taken, most notably the addition of the iconic gold plated roof in 1959-1961. You can find these designs here, here, here and here.

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my best friend, to help him support his partner and 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. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

Not related to the shop but I need to vent: some old Zionist asshole showed up at a research talk my friend gave recently and loudly spoke over him from the audience, we believe it was intentional harassment. We have a major problem with these old fucks in STEM programs it's so frustrating. My friend still did amazing though, he is so good under pressure. I'm so fucking proud of him.

Here are some sample products with these designs, they're particularly good for stickers:

Thank you to everyone who has helped so far!

This poem, If We Must Die by Claude McKay was written during the Red Summer, 1919. It has since been adopted to represent many groups facing persecution. I pair it here with a field of poppies and a faint keffiyeh pattern, emblematic of the Palestinian struggle. I may make a more elaborate version in the future, I have some ideas. For now, this is available on stickers, shirts, prints, etc.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America 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 find this design here. All designs here. By the way you can change the color on the shirts if you don't like the white background.

Thank you to everyone who has contributed!

Palestine Designs

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 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 two doves with keffiyehs have been my most popular designs so far. Thank you to the customer who bought the latter on a pin today, and thank you to everyone who has contributed so far! 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).

I also have a couple variants on the second dove waiting for Redbubble's approval, I will post those when they appear.

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 these updates somewhat vague to protect their privacy. We greatly appreciate all your help!

A new version of this design is now in my fundraiser shop, with a bitmap filter and "فلسطين حرة" (roughly "free Palestine").

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. For example a recent month's worth of sales went to a relative of his in Lebanon who is helping feed and shelter displaced people.

This design uses a keffiyeh from an open source photo with eyes from a vintage illustrated movie poster. You can find it here on a variety of products (stickers, clothes, prints, etc). Here are some examples of products with this design:
