I just finished the first chapter of your story! Your descriptions are so vivid and wonderful.
I promise I'll make less rough sketches at some point. Just wanted to put this out there.

there is something horrifically grim to it, but illustrations for gaza and palestinians tend to catch more mass attention that actual photos of people. this made me feel incredibly helpless for a long while, seeing both how people would rather look at a neat drawing of red black green and white than look a human in the eyes, and how online platforms would rather push a viral drawing while suppressing those begging for help at the same time.
a way to cope with this feeling has been taking advantage of it to directly guide people to helping palestinians.
if art gets better traction, then there’s an incredible amount of good that can be done by creating art that immediately links to fundraisers. creating art of the many images of those who are asking for help.
within hours of posting my drawing, there has been jumps in the thousands for bashar from gaza’s fundraiser. it’s a small effort in the grand scheme of things. it’s not a fix it. but it’s something good. please take care of each other and do what you can. i think this could help a lot of people if a lot of people did it.
here is bashar. i’ve drawn him, spoken to him, and known him now for a few months. any shares help, any art helps. draw who you see, draw what you see. thanks all

Help Mahasen, a Digital Artist from Gaza and Her Family!
Hello, I am Mahasen,a Digital Artist from North Gaza, where creativity thrives despite challenges.
Verified by @90-ghost here
PLEASE DONATE HERE
In this tough situation, I am a digital artist finding solace and resilience through my art .. pixels and colors.
For over a decade, I've navigated the freelance world, weaving intricate digital tapestries that reflect the beauty and strength of my surroundings.
My father died, and I am the main provider for my family.
Before the war, I worked with international companies in motion graphics,
specializing in character design and storyboarding.
The conflict forced us into repeated evacuations, and our home suffered damage, including the theft and destruction of my essential art equipment and tablet. Each stolen piece held not just monetary value but years of dedication and creativity and hard work. We are left HOMELESS, UNSAFE, SICK with VERY LITTLE FINANCIAL SECURITY!
Our family consists of:
• My mother, 62 years old.
• My sister Mai, 35 years old, who is also visually impaired.
• Myself,Mahasen, 31 years old.
• My brother Mohammed, 28 years old, who is visually impaired.
• My brother's wife Iman, 28 years old.
• My youngest brother Amin, 21 years old.
Your support is crucial as I rebuild what was lost. Your contribution will help replace my tools and restore hope and creativity. And mainly for my family's safety, ability to survive the current situation and community.
Together, we can affirm that art is more than expression,
it is a lifeline that connects us and enlighten even the darkest moments.
Expenses Needed:
• Travel arrangements to Egypt ( $5000 per person ) for 6 family members.
• Living expenses to survive the current situation in Gaza.
• Buying art equipment and tablet to recover what I've lost and be able to work again.
• Living and transportation expenses during the initial period of travel.
• Food and medical expenses.
Every donation counts! Your support makes a real difference for my family and me.
Please consider contributing and sharing to help us.

I did a redraw. This one was made with the info from the ask game!
I always wonder if my posts make you sad. 🥲
Also, confession. My headvoice ALWAYS, WITHOUT FAIL, pronounces your user 'mandom' cringe.
I don't. Know. Why.

Hi people. As the boy billionaire has bought the birdsite and corporate accounts joke about moving to Tumblr, I kindly ask y'all to give the brands the treatment they deserve: silence.
Make your own posts if you wanna post bugass but do NOT engage the brands. Gaslight, gatekeep and girlboss. In containment they will wither.
