Hey all, Crips for Esims for Gaza has been purchasing E-sims for people in Gaza and need help to continue their advocacy!

We link them in our Hi Nay episodes but want to remind people to help out if they can and donate! They're an offshoot of the E-sims for Gaza program created by Mirna El-Helbawi, and allow you to, if you are overwhelmed by the E-sims purchasing process, streamline it.

You donate to Crips for Esims for Gaza, and they do it for you. Help these fantastic disabled activists if you're able!

Link in replies so Tumblr doesn't hide this!

Hi! A few questions

Do you have any interest into showing us the process behind your artworks or anything similar?

Do you draw about other themes than trauma? If yes, would you post any of it? (don't get me wrong, I love the way you portrait these themes)

Do you think about something specific when drawing about these topics?

hi anon! Thank you for these questions.

If there's interest in seeing the process, I'd be happy to share! For the art on this blog, it is specifically one-and-done (little to no planning or editing) in order to encourage a burst of expression, like improv dance or jazz, rather than a methodically-planned painting or sculpture.

I draw many other things! Lots of illustrations and paintings, as well as writing. I have other blogs where I post some of that stuff :) I enjoy my paintings the most, but they are energy intensive. Sketching or fast digital work is less taxing. If people are interested, I could share other work here<3

When I do pieces as desnos, I usually focus on a flashbulb thought, feeling, or experience. Sometimes specific instances from my past, other times specific types of feelings, like particular flavors of grief, nostalgia, anger, etc. I try to keep that mental setting in mind as I work and hope its energy comes across!

BUT WHEN I SLEEP YOU ARE STILL ALIVE!

I have seen posts on Palestine get thousands on thousands of notes. If each person who engaged with them donated one dollar—literally just one; no more, no less—thousands of dollars would be raised to humanitarian aid in Gaza just like that. I understand there’s the whole bystander effect going on. People are probably like “Well there’s likely someone out there donating right now, so they can probably do without my one puny dollar” wrong. One dollar makes a huge difference. Any amount you can afford can make a huge difference.

I’m not going to say every single person on here can afford to give up a dollar, because that’s absolutely insensitive to people’s individual situations—but if you can, please donate. So many of us on here aren’t swimming in money, but we still make it a point to donate, regardless of how little or how big a sum it is. I promise it adds up.

The PCRF could use every last penny. Don’t be a bystander in a world of bystanders. It matters.

Interested in an original desnos-style artwork? 💕 Order an art piece all your own for $10. Message me for info! Ask about original physical art (sketches/paintings on paper) if that sounds appealing? I have 6 slots (details and updates below)! Thank you for reading :)

I must, unfortunately, do things for money on occasion. I've never opened commissions before (so we'll see how this goes), but first and foremost I want to connect to your vision and story, which is why I'm starting small with 6 slots. Add-on exact text/visual subject for $5 each, but I would also love to creatively interpret your request. Commissions will be like pieces seen on my blog. Generally under 800x600. Turnaround is 2 business days. Artwork file will belong to you with attribution for non-commercial purposes.

@maroooonsun honestly I'm overwhelmed by how much of my art is on Pinterest :( I intend to file takedowns on other platforms eventually, but I just don't have it in me at the moment. if you comment to speak up for my credit, I would be very grateful! but please don't feel obligated ❤️ ultimately it is my responsibility to address reposts of my work, I just don't know where it's reposted sometimes :)

hi all! if you see my art reposted on Tumblr, please let me know and send it my way! message me any time about reposts--or about anything if you just want to chat! inbox/DM is always open. and THANK YOU so much for all the kind tags and comments, it means SO much to me, more than I could ever express!!! :')❤️❤️❤️

i was the green planets ask! thanks for taking the request it looks great!

do you have a cashapp/venmo/paypal ?

hey, I'm glad you liked the piece, and thank you for asking! I do, but I'm on the fence about taking payment for pieces directly--I've never done commissions before, so it's a little intimidating.

I will, however, drop my kofi link -> click here to leave me a small tip or more!

Definitely considering commissions in the future, especially higher detail and larger pieces, maybe even some basic tattoo pieces? Or a flash sheet! I'd love to hear if anyone would be interested!💕🌻
