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:

I am absolutely in love with the Reem Kufi font (on the left), it's a beautiful blend of historical and modern design (though a little hard to read if you're still new to Arabic, haha). The Arabic characters were designed by Khaled Hosny if you want to check out the artist. I've used it for a bunch of simpler designs as well on my Redbubble recently.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from these designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America 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. He is a brilliant scientist and the kindest man I have ever known, I hate seeing him suffer like this and want to help in whatever small way I can.
The designs above (and a bunch more) can be found here. Available on stickers, shirts, pins, notebooks, etc (click on each to see more product options).

Another sample of art from my fundraiser (ALL the money I make from the shop goes to support my Palestinian best friend's loved ones):
I'm selling these designs and many more on shirts, stickers, notebooks and a ton of other products to support my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. He sends the money 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.

When I asked my friend about birds from his home the first thing that came to mind for him was the bulbul.
This little guy is the white-spectacled bulbul, a medium-sized passerine described as "conspicuous and noisy". They're common around Palestine, my friend has many fond memories of them. I have just added this drawing of one holding a Palestinian flag to my shop.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from this design will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him afford to bring his girlfriend over to America and to help his other loved ones around 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 find the design here printed on a lot of different products.
You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will display with a random product, click on it to see all product options (shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc).
Also funny story when I first looked up bulbuls my friend wasn't checking too closely what photo I had up on my phone and I spent a long time believing the red-whiskered bulbul was from Palestine (it's not, it's from south Asia). So much so that I actually drew the wrong bird at first. Oops. So, I probably won't sell this guy because he doesn't make a lot of sense as a symbol for Palestine (maybe I'll repurpose him into an unrelated design after the war) but here you go, solidarity for Palestine from this lovely little tropical frugivore:
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far, I really appreciate you. My friend is hunting now for a new living space to accommodate his partner when she gets here. Housing as a grad student is always a nightmare, I'm so grateful that you all are helping with the deposit. My friend is also doing his best to figure out help for his family back home (a chaotic situation, just getting in contact with some relatives has been a mess so far). I'll try to add some updates as things progress (as usual, vague to protect their privacy).
Here is a small sample of the designs I am raising money with. I have 55 works in my collection so far with more being added constantly (there are two waiting for Redbubble's approval right now). I'm making a point of keeping a broad variety of styles so there's something for everyone.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from these designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America 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. He is the nicest person ever and he deserves so much better than this.
The designs above (and a bunch more) can be found here. Available on stickers, shirts, pins, notebooks, etc (click on each to see more product options).
Thank you to the several people who have bought stickers the last few days and the customer who bought a shirt with the butterfly design!
A few of the designs from my fundraiser. All of the ones I'm sharing today adapt older art. From the top: an edited Henry Meunier print (using a picture of my own keffiyeh), a Warhol inspired design (the keffiyeh comes from an open source photo, the eyes from a vintage movie poster), an edited vintage pulp comic, and at the bottom two Julie de Graag prints.
As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend to support his friends and family in Gaza and the West Bank (and sometimes surrounding areas in the Levant suffering collateral damage).
I have 178 designs and I add more whenever I have a new idea (also open to suggestions). You can find these designs in my shop HERE. To see a design on different products click on the display product and scroll down or go here to browse by design. Most designs are available on a wide range of products (shirts, stickers, pins, hats, notebooks, etc). The cat on the orange background shown here is my most popular t-shirt design.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate all the support, and we hope you are enjoying your purchases.
This poem, If We Must Die by Claude McKay was written during the Red Summer, 1919. It has since been adopted to support many groups facing persecution, such as the Palestinians. I paired it with a field of poppies and a faint keffiyeh pattern. I made this one last December and haven't shared it in a while so I thought I'd do so again now. You can find it here.
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.
Here are a couple example products (shirts, sticker, framed print):
Below you can see some of my other designs. I try to incorporate a wide variety of styles so there's something for everyone, making use of various open source assets such as vintage prints and NASA photography. I have stickers, clothes, mugs, notebooks, magnets and all sorts of other things available with the designs below and many more.

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!
A new Palestinian key design featuring poppies, found here. The key is a common symbol for the right of return.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop go to my Palestinian best friend to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his other loved ones around 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.

Here is a sample of some of the clothing currently available in my fundraiser, starting with a simple athletic t-shirt modelled by the friend I am raising money for:
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. For example a recent month's worth of sales went to a relative of his in Lebanon who is helping feed and shelter displaced people.
You can find all of my art in my shop HERE. There are a lot of other product options besides clothing as well (pins, stickers, notebooks, bags, etc). You can add filters by product on the left side of the page or go here to browse by design. Here is a little sample of what some of my work looks like not printed on products:

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).
