painting from life continues to restore me to myself when pain and fatigue makes my life so very small. <3

they're very patient and generous with me during these times! usually they're playing a game or reading so I have a nice window to draw them in.

Abdel Majeed needs to raise $700 to cover travel and coordination costs to Egypt, where he and his family have citizenship.
Below is his message to you about his family’s current situation - please read, and help however you can.

Dear friends and generous supporters,
We are a small family in Gaza, living in unbearable conditions. The war, which is said to be nearing its end, has destroyed our home, leaving us without a dignified life in Gaza. My wife suffers from severe depression and urgently needs "Leponex" medication, which is unavailable here. The hospitals are destroyed, and medicines are scarce. Staying in Gaza worsens her mental health day by day. Our daughters, Iman and Bayan, are deprived of education, and their dreams of a brighter future are fading .We hold Egyptian citizenship and are desperately waiting for the Rafah crossing to open as a humanitarian case to relocate to Egypt, where my wife can receive the mental health treatment and medication she needs, and we can start a new life.
We urgently need $700 to cover travel and coordination costs once the crossing opens. Every dollar you donate brings us closer to saving my wife from her suffering and securing a future for Iman and Bayan. Be our hope.

🚨The absence of media coverage of this natural disaster in Alaska, the lost/missing people, and the destruction of the aftermath is up to us to share. Please help if you can - even if it is just spreading awareness. There is no FEMA going to help them. 1/2

man I feel you, my old wedding gear would have been ancient by now but sometimes I'm like why did I sell all those beautiful lenses? Now I long for the glass...

I've been trying to stay off socials etc on the weekend so missed it initially in discord but got caught up this evening and did a double take. I love seeing your work, I feel like you've really come into your own so much in the last year with such a clear voice!

this is the xe-3 so it's a few years old now but still kicking! likely cheaper now that newer models are out—that being said, is anything truly affordable these days? no :) haha

my friend Ahmad and his family of 11 need your help. following the ceasefire, ahmad returned to his home in the north of Gaza alone. they can't afford the transportation cost for the rest of their family to move from the south, nor the cost of rebuilding. please support them ❤️‍🩹
