Some Tatreez Inspired Stickers From My Fundraiser:

The watermelon first emerged as a symbol of Palestine after the six day war in 1967. Israel made public displays of the Palestinian flag illegal so Palestinians would try to circumvent the ban by using the watermelon, which has the same four colors. I just added a second watermelon design (left) to my shop (just a simple combination of open source assets, map made by Anditii Creative). Watermelons are also basically my best friend's favorite food, he gets SO excited for them in the summer, it's adorable. One of my favorite memories with him is when we impulsively bought a watermelon on our way out on a hike and ate the whole thing with our bare hands in a hollow in a tree. I didn't know then that the watermelon was also a symbol of his home. I'm glad it is, since it already makes me think of him.

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, 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).

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

Here's some Warhol inspired pop art I made for my fundraiser. The keffiyeh is from this open source work from a photographer in Gaza, the eyes are cut from a vintage movie poster. You can find this design 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 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.

I really like this design for clothes, both for the various normal shirts/sweatshirts/hoodies and the graphic ones with an all over print (yes it's garish but I love garish clothes, haha):

I also have two other simpler versions of the design in my shop:

Here are some examples of the three versions on different products:

All three are available on clothes, stickers, pins, prints and a ton of other things. You can also find my full shop here, I have a lot of different designs in a bunch of different art styles.

Thank you so much to everyone who has shared my shop around and bought art! I'm really touched that so many people have come together to help me support my friend. He's a really incredible person and it means so much to me to be able to provide something to help out during this difficult time.

Astronomia from Margarita Philosophica, Gregor Reisch, 1503 over a contemporary NASA photo of the milky way. Prints available on shirts, stickers, magnets, etc! https://www.redbubble.com/shop/ap/152284224

Three of my favorite flag designs from my fundraiser. The top and bottom make use of old open source prints, the middle is all NASA photography.

As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend 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.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate all the support, and we hope you are enjoying your purchases.

A new design for my fundraiser, particularly good for stickers and shirts. 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.

The new work is found here. I have a handful of previous designs using some of these elements as well, including two with the same quote and a bunch with the same base art (an edited photograph of a keffiyeh with eyes from an old movie poster). For example:

Here are some examples of the art on various products (note you can also change the background color of the various shirts):

Fundraising Update

No new design approvals seem to be happening with the holiday, so here are my most popular Palestine designs so far (shown here on stickers):

I want to thank everyone who has pitched in to help my best friend. For those who have not seen my posts my best friend in the world is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family all around 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 (West Bank stuff in particular has been rough for them). We're also on limited budgets as grad students, and I really don't want him to feel pressured to neglect school to support his family. He's an absolutely brilliant scientist and deserves to be able to focus on his research (as well as he can through the emotional toll this has taken of course). So, I'm selling Palestine related art and ALL PROCEEDS will go to him to help him get his loved ones through this. Honestly I didn't expect fundraising like this to do anything, but you all have been amazing!

I have a really happy update, his girlfriend should be arriving here in America imminently! You all helped pay for her flight and are helping cover their housing, so thank you so much! I really hope you are all enjoying the stickers, shirts, mugs and all the other stuff you have bought! From now on all money raised goes to supporting her stay here and continuing to give my friend the means to help his family back home. Anything he doesn't end up needing he is planning on donating to the various Palestinian charities he works with.

All designs above (and a ton more) are found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). They're available on stickers, shirts, pins, and many other products. Some examples:

One of you reached out to me and requested puzzles for some of my designs. At the time I added the one on the left since it was near a large enough resolution already. I just added a scaled up version of the design on the right as well, please forgive me for taking so long to get around to it. My newest design also has a puzzle:

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 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 (he's heavily involved in activism and I trust him to put the money where it will make the most difference).

I'm not really sure how a fundraiser like this should be considered under the strike, I'm going to keep sharing my stuff and leave it to your discretion when/if you want to purchase anything this week.

The designs above and many more can be found in my 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. I don't usually do puzzles since Redbubble demands super high resolution and is also really glitchy about fitting the images, but there's plenty of other things on there like shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc.

I will warn you that for the woman in keffiyeh print you may be able to tell that the scarf outline is digitally drawn and doesn't look exactly the same as the lines on the original print when viewed on a high resolution product like this. I think it still looks pretty good though.

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!

New Palestine Designs

I made a few designs this weekend with some open source patterns and a tatreez design I drew in FlossCross. Mostly made with clothing prints in mind, but also available on stickers, notebooks, phone cases, mugs, etc.

My best friend 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.

All designs found here (Redbubble will randomize what it shows the print on, click on each product to see more options). I'm adding new ones roughly daily. Thank you to everyone who has helped 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:
