Sorry I have neglected the fundraiser so much this week, my research has been kicking my ass. I have no idea how the friend I am fundraising for is managing grad school on top of his activism and supporting his family in the face of genocide, I'm struggling to keep up just helping him out. He's like an actual genius scientist though, he's amazing. I do have a couple new designs up now, here's one of them:
It can be found in my shop here on a bunch of different products. Some examples:

A new simple design for the fundraiser, found here. Mostly made for t-shirts (you can change the background colors of the shirts on their product pages):
As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend to support his friends and family in Gaza and the West Bank (and surrounding areas in the Levant suffering collateral damage). At the moment mostly funds are going towards people he knows in Gaza to help them afford basic necessities as prices continue to climb.
I haven't talked about my friend on here much recently, but talking about the people involved in fundraisers seems important to keeping the fundraisers going strong. So I'm going to share a little story that just happened:
My friend has refused to receive presents from anyone since the war began; he feels weird having nice things while his loved ones suffer. Even getting him to accept this fundraiser for his family was a struggle, he's just not good at accepting help. He also won't buy himself anything for the most part.
Well he's very annoyed at me now for buying a new pair of shoes for him (his old ones had 6 inch tears down the side and were actively injuring him). I did relent and give him the old ones back with the best repairs I could manage (they're holding up for now), but he won't accept even the smallest gifts from me unless I let him pay me back for the new shoes, which of course I will not do. This includes the cup of tea I usually bring him at the gym (which was previously exempt from the gift rule). We argued back and forth about this stupid cup of tea for a long time yesterday, neither of us would let the other leave the parking lot without it.
Long story short I flung the cup of tea through the open window of his car as he tried to drive off, and it of course exploded everywhere. He picked up what was left and poured it all over me, gave me a hug and drove away. I don't think I've seen him laugh that hard since the war started honestly.
I love our ridiculous, weirdly combative friendship. He's like the brother I never had. Thank you all for helping me support him.
Here are some other shirts from my shop (my friend is modeling the exercise shirt in the top left, face removed for privacy):

More stickers from the fundraiser:
As usual 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.

ALL PROCEEDS from my designs 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 increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He plans on donating anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. You can find the design above here printed on stickers, hats, shirts and many other products.
Here is a small sample of some the other works I have:

I've been saving this bubble graphic for a while, I found this nice Dome of the Rock image on Pixabay and I really love how the colors work together! I think it would make a great sticker.
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.
The Dome of the Rock is a shrine in the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in Jerusalem. It's the oldest surviving work of Islamic architecture. The iconic gold color was actually added starting in 1959, before that the dome was covered in blackened lead.
Here is the above printed on a few things (shirts, sticker, pin, hoodie):

Another poppy design pieced together from open source resources, this time in a map of Palestine. As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my Palestinian best friend to help him take care of his loved ones affected by the violence and economic devastation in Gaza and the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. Anything he doesn't need for his immediate friends and family will be donated to charity, wherever he thinks it will make the most difference (he's heavily involved in activism and very knowledgeable about that sort of thing).
You can find the above design here. Here is a sample of a few of the products it is available on, I think it will make a good sticker in particular:

In light of the trial I wanted to share this design again, it seems fitting. I'm not very optimistic unfortunately but here's hoping something changes for the better. I miss seeing my best friend smile.
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 increasing Israeli 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.
All my designs can be found here (Redbubble will display them on a random product, click on each to see more product options). Edit: collections cap out at 100 products apparently, so from now on see my full range of designs here on my main page (I have temporarily removed all designs not related to Palestine).
Here is a small sample of my other designs:
I have 97 designs/variants of designs in my shop and counting. All available on a wide range of products. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out, I hope you are enjoying your shirts, stickers, notebooks, pins and various other things.
I've advertised my stickers a lot recently, I'd like to take a moment to put more focus on some of the clothing designs available in my shop (as usual, ALL PROCEEDS are for my Palestinian best friend to support his loved ones, and he will donate anything his family doesn't need to the various charities he works with):
I'd also like to note that you can change the colors on most of the shirts, you don't have to use the defaults I have set.
My shop can be found here. Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! Also thank you to whoever bought 82 stickers today! You are amazing!
I'm back! Turns out there was a weird glitch and my posts have been pretty much shadowbanned this past week. I would like to thank everyone who has contributed this past week and probably could not see my previous thank yous.
For those who haven't seen my posts yet, my best friend (the best person I have EVER known) 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 to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely and helping his other loved ones weather the violence and financial hardship.
The new designs above (and a bunch more) can be found here. Available on stickers, shirts, pins, prints, etc (click on each to see more product options).
We're hopeful that the ceasefire will mitigate the harm being done to my friend's family going forward. He's already had some loved ones hurt that this money can help so for now I will continue the fundraising (plus we do not feel safe hoping that the ceasefire will last, unfortunately). For now his girlfriend has remained safe and financial planning for her trip here is going okay. Most of his immediate family is okay (extended family and friends not entirely so unfortunately). I will keep updates somewhat vague to protect their privacy. We greatly appreciate all your help!
Thank you so much to whoever bought the Free Palestine black metal shirt a couple days ago, I really enjoy that one and I was wondering if it was ever going to sell! I introduced the friend I am fundraising for to metal and it was a big thing we bonded over so it seems like a fitting design to raise money for him.
You can find this design here. 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. You can find all my designs here.

I also have a couple shirts/other things with a simple punk font if that's more your thing:
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far, this fundraiser has been working way better than I ever expected and my friend and I are really grateful for all your help. I hope you are all enjoying the art you have bought!
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, kind, brilliant person and he deserves so much better than all the horrible things happening right now.

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).
