My best friend is an absolutely brilliant scientist and all around amazing person. He genuinely tries to help everyone he meets. He'll interrupt a lunch to go buy lunch for the homeless people too. He's been involved in activism for more causes than I can count, often for things (like LGBTQ+ issues) that don't affect him personally, just because it's the right thing to do. He takes care of everyone else even when he doesn't have much for himself.
He is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family all around the Levant are being hurt either directly or financially by the war. Those of you who have been following this account know that for a little over a week now I have been adding Palestine related designs to my Redbubble shop. ALL PROCEEDS from these 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.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!
(available on shirts, bags, stickers, pins, etc.)
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!
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 made a few designs this weekend with some open source patterns and a tatreez design I drew in FlossCross. Mostly made with clothing prints in mind, but also available on stickers, notebooks, phone cases, mugs, etc.

Three of my favorite flag designs from my fundraiser. The top and bottom make use of old open source prints, the middle is all NASA photography.
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 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.
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. Here's a sample of a few of my other designs:

As usual EVERYTHING I RAISE 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 photos of a couple other stickers from my shop a customer gave me, I think they turned out nice:

I made a few more simple text designs with this font for my fundraising. As usual, ALL PROCEEDS are to help my Palestinian best friend. Here are all the options (they're particularly nice for stickers and simple shirts I think):
Some product examples (I particularly like how the red one shows only the shadow on various black products):
My friend will use the money to help support his girlfriend 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 (those have hit his extended family quite hard unfortunately) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. I'm currently very worried about escalation in Lebanon and the impact that could have on the family he has there who have so far been relatively safe. Hoping things stay under control there. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with (he's such a sweet person, he's involved in so much charity work for so many different causes, Palestinian and otherwise). You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will display a random product, click on it to see all product options (shirts, stickers, notebooks, etc).
Here's a small sample of my other stuff, I have 93 designs so far (each available on a wide variety of products) and I'm adding more regularly:

These two photos, of an iris and poppies (both flowers that are commonly used to represent Palestine) come from the Library of Congress's "Wild flowers of Palestine" collection. There's a bunch of other old flower photos on there too but I picked these because they are particularly common symbolism. I tweaked the contrast a bit to make them pop more and added the "فلسطين" label to each so the meaning of the photo is more apparent when you stick them on things. They're small photos so only available as stickers and magnets, here and here.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend (though she may attempt to travel back home soon, her immediate area has been fairly safe recently and she wants to be near her family) 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. He's hoping to donate most/all of it if possible (plus more of his own money) but I want to make sure he has a financial safety net himself first until things are more certain. Grad school pays like shit (which is why I started this shop in the first place, I just switched it from raising money for me to him haha) and so many people he loves are in precarious positions.

Sorry I've been very bad at keeping up with this recently, I caught another nasty illness travelling for a conference. Thank you to everyone who has contributed! I'll try to start adding new products as best I can as I get caught up on my work.
A keffiyeh pattern over a tie dye heart.
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.

I've already made something similar to this, it seems like a good design for a sticker. The keffiyeh was a gift from the friend I am fundraising for. He gave it to me back in October while I was trying to comfort him, I have worked photos of it into a lot of my designs.
As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for this friend, to help him support his partner and 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.

The tatreez (Palestinian embroidery) pattern I made has been more popular as a sticker than I expected, so I have just added the top two versions designed primarily to be used as stickers (also available as pins and magnets).
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design 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.

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).
