the Sketch vs the Outcome
This piece is from the very bottom of my heart. These past 6 months, it’s been difficult to find the motivation to create. The thing I loved doing most suddenly felt so mundane. The ability to sit in the window and draw in peace and safety is a luxury I felt guilty about for quite some time.. and still do. I’d pick up my pen to sketch out my feelings and nothing would come of it but the names of the children whose corpses will be enshrined in my mind for the rest of my life. The first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing on my mind before I sleep at night, is the Palestinians.
I owe the creation of this work to the Palestinians, whose steadfastness and unwavering faith and patience has not only inspired me, but completely changed my perception of this life. They have shown me that creating is never ever mundane. And it is important to create, especially in dark times, especially when the world is changing. It is important to find expression beyond words when there are no words to express what is happening. It is important to create even when it makes people uncomfortable - even when it makes the artist uncomfortable.
Every stroke in this piece was intuitive and it ties every pain, wish, and prayer swirling in my head, these 200 days, into a neatly woven tapestry of love and passion for the Freedom of the Palestinian people.

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!

Already posted this on my insta but I thought it would be appropriate to post this here too, especially when a strike is happening
Keep raising awareness, keep boycotting, keep donating, keep fighting for liberation, keep your humanity. Freedom for Palestine means freedom for all

Day two of the week long strike for a free Palestine and I thought I’d share my recent painting with some tips for those looking for ways to get involved that can’t attend an in person event.
🍉Disrupt- Call/ email your representatives. Jam the phone lines with demands for an immediate ceasefire, aid to be allowed into Gaza, and an end to the occupation.
🍉With your money- do not spend this week. If you find yourself in dire need of something, try to buy it locally instead of from a corporation and absolutely no spending on non-necessities. Look into mutual aid programs near you. Beyond the strike, keep the boycotts going. Look for Palestinian businesses to support. Shop local over corporate as much as you can. Research your bank, see where they invest. If you find your money going to oppressors, move your money out of there and close the account. Send e-sims to Gaza. Look into Project Olive Branch.
🍉 Social Media: boost Palestinian voices and refrain from engaging with unrelated content. Share information. Engage with pro-Palestinian content to help fight the algorithms. This week, refuse to post or engage with any content that is not about Gaza.
Remember: these are just a few ways of getting involved if you can’t attend an in person event. You do not have to do all of them!!
Edit~ I’ve seen some truly disturbing reblogs to this painting and I just want to say that being anti-genocide should not be a controversial thing and if you feel it is, you’re on the wrong side of history. To all the lovely people just doing what you can to help, sending yall love!! I’m also just a person in a country whose reps are disappointing me greatly, looking for ways to be helpful.

In ASL and SSL, this is the gesture for "Inshallah," which means means "God willing"; it's used to express hope that a specific future event will come to pass.
In a few hours, a temporary ceasefire or "humanitarian pause" is going to start
Shortly after posting this, the "pause" began—and the IOF immediately broke it by opening fire on Palestinians returning to their homes in northern Gaza.
A true, permanent ceasefire is one of the most urgent demands, but WHEN a ceasefire is declared, nobody gets to pat themselves on the back.
And end to the violence can't mean a return to business as usual, where the occupation and apartheid continue and Palestinians are still getting displaced on their own land.
israel must be abolished. They, the US, Canada, the EU, must be made to pay reparations.
Inshallah, we will not stop at a ceasefire
Inshallah, we will see complete liberation for Palestine
🇵🇸 Things you can do below 🇵🇸
🍉 SHARE posts from Palestinians, especially journalists on the ground (copy link on IG works just as well as sharing?). They're literally dying for that footage 🙃 let's make sure it counts
🍉 DONATE an E-sim @connectinghumanity_ on IG
🍉 DONATE to @CareForGaza (Twitter; donation links should be on their profile too). A lot of donation drives are just... making a grab at clout but this one is legit; a number of Gazans confirm that the food/produce is getting to them. The organizer seems to be Palestinian and living there as well
🍉 BOYCOTT brands listed by @bdsnationalcommittee on IG
Official boycott targets: AXA, Puma, Carrefour, Siemens, Ahava, HP, Sodastream, any products from Israel
Organic boycott targets: Domino's, McDonald's, Burger King, Pizza Hut, Wix
🍉 PRESSURE your governments & officials to call for a ceasefire and #InvokeGenocideConvention at the ICJ (rootsaction.org)
🍉 PROTEST. If there are mobilizations in your area, show up to be part of the count. No heroics—do what you feel safe doing and listen to the organizers.

.
it was also important to me to include an Al-Qassam fighter in this, because they're often scapegoated by Western media, and also by well-meaning allies who say "but civilians are not Hamas"; there's this attempt to separate militant resistance from the process of liberation as a whole
Yeah, most civilians are not Hamas, but they don't denounce them either. Palestinians call them freedom fighters, protectors.
because the resistance is not a bunch of evil, violent outliers; they are as much victims of the occupation as the women, children, and non-combatants are. Most if not all of them were born under the occupation; a good percentage of them are also orphans.
I will never condemn boys who live along the coast but have never seen the sea.

The Artists for Palestine project does not have an end date
Tumblr media
Its going based on artists willingness to participate alone!!
If you are an artist and want to help Palestine and this project you should message @/sitcomabed (https://x.com/sitcomabed?s=20) over on twitter and join the other artists in creating art and generation donations!!
You need to have a twitter account cause Zayna (the person that started this project) doesn't have a tumblr so you can only message her on twitter
here is the link to the original twitter thread where they explain how you can get your commission (https://x.com/sitcomabed/status/1755711698298716487?s=20)
also if you arent an artists you should still go and donate!!!
edit: i've been told that the link to the thread doesn't work for everyone so here are screenshots of the entire thread, the links shown in the screenshots are at the bottom

Instagram, being a zionist lapdog they are, just banned another pro Palestine account. This account gives update on celebs who also against this genocide. While some of you may not be interested in celebs world, it's at least good to know which celebs you can see without puking your guts out.
Here's their account in case you want to see more.

Taking a moment to honor all the fallen journalists who gave their lives in order to document the genocide in Gaza and the West Bank; wishing all of those who have evacuated a safe journey onwards, and thanking and praying for those who are currently still working in the field.

We must strive for no less than freedom for all 🍉
Ref used from here
As soon as I learned about the Palestinian sunbird this week, which became Palestine's national bird in 2015 after Israel failed to rename it, I knew I had to paint one. What a beautiful bird to symbolise Palestinian hope.

ARTISTS, STOP POSTING TO DEVIANT ART
(Gen Ai/BDS)
Learned today that DeviantArt is owned by Wix, an Israeli company listed under boycott by the BDS Palestinian human rights organization.
Tumblr media
Under Wix, who acquired DeviantArt in 2017, DV has been pushing Israeli occupation propaganda and allowing Generative Ai to completely takeover the platform and be sold on it.
It’s clear that under Wix, DeviantArt DOES NOT CARE whatsoever about the art or the artists it was originally created to cater towards. It only cares for profit.
Even if you are not well-versed on the current politics surrounding the Israeli Occupation and the erasure of Palestine for some reason, everyone can agree that Wix has changed DeviantArt for the worse and the best case scenario is that they sell it to someone who actually cares for art, not profit.
I absolutely adore to death so much of the art there, but for now I will stop posting my art there and I suggest that other artists do the same. They DO NOT DESERVE YOUR ART.
Please transition towards using alternatives like Tumblr, Insta, Twitter, and Newgrounds. Newgrounds especially is the best alternative to DeviantArt. Please suggest other alternatives as well.
