Graffiti - Blog Posts

Here are some new pieces for my fundraiser. The keffiyeh is edited from this open source work by a photographer in Gaza and the eyes are cut from a vintage movie poster. On the left the backdrop is the graffiti from a wall in Bethlehem (بيت لحم) in the West Bank.

You can find these and all my other designs here.

I have a couple more versions of the glitch art (on the right) with backgrounds:

I also made this Warhol inspired pop art last week with this same template (as well as a couple other things, see the shop to see all options):

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 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. 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 the above on various products (personally I really like the glitch art with no background on stickers and pins):

Again check out my shop here for all these and a ton of other designs. Note that stickers are cheaper in bulk, if you get 4 stickers you get 25% off and if you get 10 you get 50% off (these can be any stickers, not just from my shop). They're great for handing out at protests!

Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! Your support means a lot to us. I read my friend the sweet messages some of you have left for him through the shop and he was very touched.

Graffiti

There used to be graffiti in the town where I live, many years ago, that said "All hail the Crimson King" written in red spray paint on a sign. I often think about it. It's worn away, not really visible anymore but still kind of there. This was long before the movie came out, back when I thought I was the only teenager in the world who read The Dark Tower series, and then became a young adult who still thought I was alone in liking and rereading that series over and over. Did the person who wrote the graffiti read those books? Or was it in reference to something else? Why can't I stop thinking about it?
