follow up to the commission question, so I’ve donated to some of the organizations aiding those in Gaza and was still interested in commissioning you, but would you prefer if people held back on doing so to instead donate to the organizations? I just don’t wanna step on your toes lol! thanks :)
you're not stepping on my toes at all, dw! I'll gladly take the commission since I'd love to write for you -- but I've decided to donate the proceeds to one of the organisations myself, if that's alright.
I started doing commissions before becoming aware of the situation so they weren't necessarily opened with donation in mind, but I think it'd be best if that's how things proceeded. I'll probably amend the announcement post to reflect this.
as for anyone else interested in commissioning me, do what you feel is best -- whether you'd prefer to donate the money yourself or donate it in exchange for my work, what ultimately matters is making a difference for palestinians and those facing similar circumstances. none of us are free until all of us are.
