My friend Mem is Black trans disabled person who has been fighting for their daily survival for far too long.

They NEED cleaners; their home is infested, has LEAKS and TOILET ISSUES that existed since move-in, amongst others.

PPE & basic items needed ASAP.

We are at $30/300 to afford cleaners, 27 people giving $10, or 9 people giving $30!!

12hours no aid, forced to live in this condition has been very triggering for Mem in many ways, Please chip in!

Thank you so much :’) replying extremely late bc I’m in middle of final projects right now hahaha. I’m happy my art means something to you.

 

Can someone please match my $10 for Courtney? She is extremely exhausted and need $45 to get a room for tonight ASAP!

She’s pregnant, a diabetic, recently homeless AGAIN and raising a 9 yr old alone. We have been in contact for a few months and unfortunately she doesn’t have any support from her family or irl friends. Anything helps! She has been trying so hard and it is heartbreaking seeing her losing the housing she fought so hard to get and try to keep.

her Instagram is @courttbeticc16

 

We have by the end of the day TODAY, which is 6 hours, to raise $196 more for Taliyah, a Black single mom to pay rent.

This is a FINAL DEADLINE. If this amount is not raised a Black family will lose their home.

Thank you for reading and please contribute however you can!

 

Yay yay yippety yay yay!

😀 I love art. Does art love me? I’m not sure. Self portrait is hard. It feels like I HAVE TO KNOW MYSELF AND THIS ART IS AN EFFORT TO DEFINE ONESELF and it is like AHHHHHHHHHH I can’t do it. Oh well. ! I had another draft before this, then I started pinching slapping scratching punching the canvas (not with my whole strength) with paint and frustration! After like weeks I finally revisited this, and I think… I THINK THIS IS GOING SOMEWHERE!! (Added the snail person and sea TODAY)

I’m not the paint master, nor a knower of the strokes, just a lover of the arts 👍

Mmm, I’m not very experienced with painting, or oil paints, so please let me knoweth of your tips and suggestions! :D

Learning to be faster, not worry about visible brush stroke texture, accept mistakes and draw confidently and not try to hone into one spot over and over

 

A sunburnt mermaid in a sea of sand, crawling towards the setting sun. The only thing remain of their homeland, barnacles, feeds upon their flesh. Gloom is the clouds. They shouldn’t be here.

A girl who has bid farewell to a burnt out heart and cut off her umbilical cord to rest of the world. Where can she find her gravity in the cosmos?

I printed a bunch of my works to sell 😿😿😿 MY CHILDREN! I WISH I CAN PRINT THEM TO BE BIGGER!!!

Ahhhhhh…. 😢😢❤️❤️ MY BABIES!!!! All of them, somewhat, has some emotional significance or deeper meanings to me. ASK ME!!!! These are a mix of my older highschool senior era arts and my more recent college time arts hahaha.

AHHHHH!!!!!!! I GUESS IT IS NOT A BAD THING! I have always been scrambling to make more art for upcoming art fairs 😭💔but now I feel like maybe I have too much? Not a variety? Enough? Maybe I should do something more fun? Like silly cat meme stuff?!?? And I’m afraid to price my work how it is worth?? (explodes) I JUST WANT TO DO MORE AND IMPROVE BUT IT FEELS LIKE I’M ALWAYS A MESS….. hehehe. 🤭

Tbh, I only started selling my art to be able to help my friends who needs money more, and… I guess it is really nice seeing people’s support and love for my works! It’s very surprising that people actually like my works? Or value them at all?? I wish I can sell enough art to support people but… sigh. 😔 I guess I need to join a leftist org and tell them about my friends instead, or find more people to work with me ;;

Me and a friend (Kir) is going to make some flyers to encourage people to support Mem and Maha’s campaigns :00 going to put them around campuses and stores…. :) (fist of determination)

I don’t know how to manage, do, or plan things like this either…. But it is very fun to see my art in physical form! I could have never imagined this just… a year, two years ago! I guess I’m growing and learning a lot! It is hard to not get discouraged when things are so shit and there’s so much suffering but I guess we try to band together and do things together or something like that…

Hi! I rise again :)) I really hope this time I don’t just completely fade away for a month at a time as per usual!

I tried to tell myself this time, I don’t care what you make, I don’t care if you plan it out or not, even if it is bad, please—- YOU HAVE TO MAKE SOMETHING!!!! Do it scared do it badly just DO IT DONT FRET THAT MUCH!! If colors are a pain in the head, then do it in monochrome!

Mmm. Very very fun experience <:) I don’t think I’m cut out for…. Words (?) word… word of wording…. Word…. I can sit and draw for hours but the moment it comes to writing or formatting of any words- I just. Don’t know where to start?

It is so different having a piece of your art in your hands! Ahhh…. I should have more printing of my works :’) Well, expect more edgy interpretations of edgy vocaloid songs!

On another topic, I’m returning to therapy, and my therapist is holding me hostage (light hearted joke) as I have ghosted them way too much times after convincing myself I’m wasting money and resources and I can fix myself, oh well 😣 I will try to not run away this time!

It is really really really hard for me to express myself or talk anything about myself to, every single person in my life. I even find myself censor thoughts and feelings before they fully appear, and unable to say or even think how I really feel because I feel so…… unsafe? 😭I know all I have talked about is myself on this website, well, on my art posts! That’s highly unusual and I guess I’m creating a space to be a bit self indulgent! <:) it’s really hard to draw things I like or for myself? Hahaha

Anyway! Im hooking up with a local (commie?) queer place to sell the rat love postcards for Maha! Im so so so excited! I really hope this works out! I really need to make a poster for her so I can tape it everywhere! I also have 4747395 homeworks idk how to start??? (untrue. I have an essay that has been late for like 2 months because I can’t write essays for some reason?)

Human minds and existences are so fascinating, vast, and amazing! Woah, this makes me ponder if all of the existences that existed and existing and will be! This world is such an amazing place, with so much pain 😭

Do u have any favorite edgy songs of your own? :O

Have a lovely day everyone and hang in there 🫂🫂🫶💗

 

Hello everyone! I’m here with update on Maha’s current situation, and how the campaign is doing.

  1. After much thoughtful consideration, she has decided that she’s not leaving Iraq asap since she only has a year left of college, this might provide a more stable future for her. She will try her best to bite the bullet a bit longer.

  2. Even if she wanted to leave for Canada asap, she was told by a friend that her brother said, if she’s leaving the country he will kill her. Because killing her will be better than having the family and his personal life be filled with shame…….. An extremely suffocating and horrific situation. This all makes everything even more dangerous, difficult, and makes it so much more planning has to be involved for this to work out.

We sincerely appreciate all of your support

  1. So, we have decided to wire all of the funds raised to her (~$2640 that has deposited into the bank as if 3/26/2025) so Maha can survive off of one job while she is finishing college. She is at a high risk for— everything, right now she’s working three jobs, in college full time and can only get 3-4 hours of sleep per night. Not to mention she’s still recovering from cancer, having multiple chronic conditions, and disability. She’s running on fumes, and this fund will make sure she can afford to sleep at night and continue to stay alive! However currently we are having extreme issues with international wiring so this might take a while to actually get to her (what the fuck Bank of America)

  2. Maha requests to please make the donation number end in 5 or 0, haha, it is easier to calculate things this way, she’s very mentally ill and can’t comprehend numbers otherwise. (She requested me to say this sentence)

  3. If you cannot afford to send any financial support but are able to help in other ways, please reach out to me via DM. Maha needs more than just funds and any amount of support is appreciated.

  4. Please. If you are able to help Maha secure a work visa in Canada so that she may be able to leave Iraq without finishing college first, please reach out to me via DM. If we can help her secure a job, that would be of great support to my friend’s survival and future, with that sort of help she can theoretically get to Canada in a month.

She can work any white collar jobs, carpentry work, and anything that won’t be in a hot environment or asks her to do heavy lifting. She is an interior designer and proficient in Autocad, and is skilled in leadership, coordination, and problem solving. Over the years she has been teaching classmates and friends classroom concepts, making her a skilled educator. She’s fluent in Arabic and English, and can teach Arabic.

  1. Lastly, love you all, stay safe 🫶 please, contribute however you can
 

I feel all kinds of weak squirming crawling wiggling everywhere and I have formed into a mollusk instead of a homo sapien my mortal shell has left me and my soul will embrace the morning rays as a dove

Im sorry I will reply to ppl soon!!!!! I just get a tiny bit nervous replying to to much kindness 😭😭😖 (bows and rolls down the hill like a high speed roly poly)

Coloring was way too fun

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

^ feel free to scream with me

Okay I will begin my weep session now

Art to destress is peak, and now I will return to a horizontal position, lowest state of energy, particle at rest, amen 🙏 wow arted so good I m in an alternative state of mind

Too much art to art, and I JUST REMEMBERED I STARTED DRAWING TO AVOID ALL OF MY HOMEWORKS FOR THIS WEEK! amazing choice I shall suffer the consequences, later, .

Love u all

 

Ah, these are my first attempts at a pop-up room. I thought it would be cute to FINALLY put the ppl in my head (and I don’t mean OCs) into a physical space! Unfortunately my will to express and my skills to make it happen are not on a similar level! But it’s good to grasp the basics of pop up mechanisms first!

I still had so much fun making these! It’s meditative :’) unsure if I mentioned this before but while my depression is less potent I’m forcing myself to make as much art as possible to help build a sense of self and try to maintain a hobby!

The guy in the clouds! They are Wind, like, a personification of Wind…. I don’t know how to visually depict wind?!?! 😭 hm, if I’m going to redo this, (very likely) I might put them into another format that allows for more layers of clouds!!! If I could eventually figure out how to use movements in a pop-up card I would want to see clouds parting when I open a card with them in it! Sometimes they have like this long band over their eyes????

Hmm, for the little blue guy, hmm, there’s nothing they are reaching out at. THATS AN ISSUE! Originally they were aiming for the jellyfishes on the wall! But my glue really isn’t strong enough to handle the person being so close to the wall + it didn’t look like they are reaching at the jellyfishes either 😭 if I can acquire some strings I could have them be reaching out at those with little stars on them?!?

Comrades, please, don’t be like me and make an absolutely tiny pop up room AND want details if it’s your first time doing it. The battle I had with measurement. Cutting out objects. Drawing. Coloring. And most of all GLUING could have been avoided. maybe. Be a bit more patient!!! Plan things out! (Or just follow your creative spirit if that’s possible <:] )

geometry is hard! And fascinating!! What an unexpected way to come back to math. I love how much art and math are married with each other. :)

Also!! For people that couldn’t see the penguin on my last post! :D hopefully now you can envision a joyous penguin petting session… u wiggle the middle flap from side to penguin and the penguin will wiggle with it in the trajectory of an arc!! I can also send you a video in dms!

Be able to make art is a privilege, thank you everyone for letting me being here 🧎🙏

 

Hello hexbearians 🫶🏼🫶🏼 I’m Star/Goose. My friends have been encouraging me to share my artworks online, despite being very nervous I want to try a little bit!

These are what I’ve made in the past week 👉👈 A gift for a beautiful person :)

Pet the penguin! Can you see the video?

Drew my friend Maha as a chibi! I never draw chibis and I’m quite proud of myself! Stylizing is hard

*I’ve always loved the outer space— I drew Luo Tian Yi (a Chinese vocaloid) to this song I’ve loved for years and now I finally have the skills to bring that feeling to life! I hope I can sell prints of these :’) in the lyrics she calls out to Ground Control as she drifts out into the universe, seeking her gravity. This is a part of the song where she describes leaving the Mother Body once more, parting with the umbilical cord again as well, parting from a heart that has burnt out, and losing her gravity!”

Due to my self esteem issues, I often can’t see worth in my work, and refrain from sharing my artworks. But I want to try :)) Majority of my online presence have been trying to spread, write and message others for people’s MA asks. Unfortunately it felt all of the hours of hardwork rarely amassed to much help. I did learn so much and make amazing friends in the process!

I’m very shy about sharing any aspect of myself, posting online scares me, and art is so intimate to me and a piece of my soul. It carries my profound love for this world, and holds me when I’ve fallen into the abyss. Art making is the thickest cord that tethers me to this earth.

I want to thank Maha, the person who inspired this reaching out, for encouraging me always and her unfiltered joy seeing my works! She told me, hey, to help others you should lean into your strength. And I’m sad to see you trying to avoid such a big part of you in this process.

Since I yearn to keep supporting others however I can, I have to change my approach when it’s not working. I have just started to try to sell my art online and offline— this is very new to me! And maybe sharing my art can make others happier!

There’s so much things I want to make. I want to get into sculpting figurines for people in my head, crafting layered interactive sceneries with pop-up mechanics, learn to video edit and animate feelings I can’t express other wise, print shiny and adorable stickers and acrylic stands!! And more. I’ve always admired and loved people that had a passion of their own, and a drive for something, and maybe that’s what art is for me!

Thank you for listening :))!
