Prints for Palestine fundraiser print

An A5 glossy print of my Palestinian plants illustration.

All proceeds (excluding shipping cost) from will be donated to Medical Aid for Palestinians. You can read about their work here www.map.org.uk
I will make a social media post when I make the donation, but you are welcome to ask for proof.

As you probably already know, the current onslaught upon Gaza has killed at least 40,000 people, but without the infrastructure to keep death tolls, and with so many 1000s buried under rubble, it is likely far more. Children make up nearly half of the Gazan population and are targeted by snipers almost as much as aid workers and medical staff. Rich western nations like the USA, UK and Germany have suspended or ended aid to Gaza and also the West Bank. The situation is beyond bleak.

The print features...
-red poppies; these hardy wildflowers are iconic of the Palestinian countryside.
-watermelon has become a global symbol of the struggle against apartheid, thanks its feature in South African resistance movements.
-and olives. Olive trees once covered vast stretches of Palestine, producing some of the world's finest olive oil. Some olive trees stood for over five thousand years, being cared for by generations of the same family. The destruction of these olive groves has been a tool of the occupation since 1947.

Some icons that nearly made it into the illustration
-the Palestinian sunbird
-the Nile crocodile
-Jaffa oranges
-za'atar thyme

The original artwork is also for sale, for £150 (about $190USD). Please contact me to make the purchase. This will also be donated.
