September
Hello and welcome to my first art & design email. Thank you so much for wanting to follow along with my practice. The intention of these once a month emails is to share my art: prints, posters, collaborations, mutual aid projects, paintings, visions, shows, etc. Scroll to the bottom for lots of photos! 🦋
*Please note: multiple email lists were combined, my apologies if this was sent to you by accident (you might know me as the illustrator of Dirt Gems), there is a button at the bottom to unsubscribe.
I will be tabling at the Northampton Print & Book Fair, September 27th 11am-5pm at 33 Hawley Street in Northampton, Mass. I will have lots of art prints, books, zines, & postcards.
I’ve been stocking my online shop with lots of art
I’m selling some really special prints. There are two versions (1) & (2) of a painting I made back in November 2023, at the start of what has now been 700+ days of the genocide in Palestine. For me, painting has always been spiritual. Besides taking action in every way I knew how, this painting was a moment for me to pause in grief and prayer. Recently the painting took on a life of its own when a friend introduced me to Yazan, an amazing eighteen-year-old writer & organizer living in Gaza. I started selling the prints with all proceeds going to Yazan and his family & community. Yazan and I have gotten to know each other and his generous heart inspires me every day. Each print comes with a beautiful piece of his writing.
If you are further interested in supporting Yazan and his community you can donate or help publicize Bridge of Solidarity, an anti-capitalist mutual aid organization that Yazan founded. 🕊️🇵🇸
Sending lots of love to you all.
