Some pins from my fundraising shop:
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 and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.
I haven't posted about how he's doing in a while so here is a brief update if anyone was wondering. He's been quite miserable (more than usual even) since the escalation into Lebanon, he has family there too, but he's hanging in there. They're safe for now and we really hope the ceasefire in a couple hours actually happens and lasts. He also got injured not long after the escalation which really messed up his usual coping mechanisms (running/going to the gym), but he's recovering well now and we're at least lifting weights again. Despite the stress he's still doing impressive things with his research, and working crazy hours at it. He's supervising and mentoring several younger students on top of his own work and doing an amazing job of keeping it together for them, I'm so proud of him. He's the strongest and nicest person I've ever met and I know he's going to do amazing things with his life.
Anyway, you can find all my art in my shop HERE. There are a lot of other product options besides pins as well (shirts, stickers, notebooks, bags, etc).

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 sticker design for the fundraiser. You can find it on a few other products too but I mostly made it with stickers in mind. Found here.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining 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 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.

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.

The Palestinian friend I am raising money for is a labor activist, it's how we met. We had already been grad students in the same department for a couple years but we never talked until our school went on strike and he recruited me to help. I've seen him do some really amazing work with his activism, both for our workplace and for other causes.
Because of this, and because pretty much every union person I know is involved in Palestine activism too, I have made a few versions of the black cat/wildcat (an old labor symbol) wearing a keffiyeh for my fundraiser. Here's my new white on black one (found here):
Stickers of the wildcat designs have been a big hit in my immediate social circle since it's such a popular symbol here. Here are my older wildcat designs, which are better for stickers (found here and here):
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 by the genocide in Gaza, the attacks in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

Sharing some of my birds again since they have been some of my more popular fundraiser designs, particularly on stickers. The dove, sunbird and bulbul are also some of the works I'm most proud of artistically, being hand drawn and edited in sketchbook and not making use of any open source assets or fancy tools or anything. I'm not much of an artist but I poured a lot of extra energy into trying to improve this year because it seemed like a good way to earn some money for my friend and a good place to put my extra energy when I was too worried about him to focus on my research.

Just got another design approved! A little dove wrapped in a keffiyeh.
ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales through my Redbubble shop will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him bring his girlfriend over to America. Any left over will be used to help his family/other loved ones affected by the war. He’s an incredible person. Kind, altruistic, a genius scientist, passionate activist and all around the best person I have ever met. He deserves so much better than all the horrible things happening right now.
Find the design here (sorry the mugs look a little weird in the previews, not sure if the company will print them right):

I wanted to share this one again while I wait for all my weekend designs to be approved. I colored this Palestinian flag with open source NASA photos.
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.
Available here on shirts, stickers, hats, masks, etc.
All designs available here (click on each to see the design on other products as well). Adding new designs about daily.
I hope you are all joining your local campus protests! I know they're in the news less but they're still going strong and putting a massive amount of pressure on universities. I'm seeing more people out here than ever this week!
I realized I hadn't made anything for the protests yet so I wanted to add this simple shirt design. As always ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my best friend who is Palestinian. The extra income will help him 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.

Starving grad student running a small Redbubble shop (initially for side income, now for fundraising for my Palestinian friend). Made this blog to share my designs, found here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/fairiedance/shopMy best friend (an absolutely brilliant scientist and compassionate social activist, seriously the best person ever) is a Palestinian grad student studying in America, and a lot of his friends and family are being affected by the genocide in Gaza and the fallout in the West Bank and surrounding areas. I have started selling Palestine related designs in my shop. EVERYTHING I RAISE he sends to his loved ones to help in various ways as the situation progresses.Designs not related to Palestine have been removed from my shop for now (probably for good at this point).
