got featured as Artist of the Day today on Threadless! ♥

planning to restock my Etsy shop (zines, stickers, originals, etc.) for the first time in a whole year (!) soon, but in the meantime my work is available anytime on apparel - you could even get it on a color if you wanted to.

one of the perils of having a professional/art main with personal sideblogs is that you WILL eventually accidentally reblog to main

just glad it was the cute post about letting people take care of you & not [redacted nonsense]

if you want to see what’s inspiring me lately you can follow @sleepworker! if you want the [redacted nonsense] we gotta be mutuals or you have to find me naturally & anonymously through tags like the good old days

Back in September you gave me permission to paint a patch of your Shamir design, and I finally got up the courage to actually try to make the patch (I was nervous because I usually paint more text, not images so often). Here's the picture as promised! I'm really excited for this little guy to live on my jacket. Thank you so much for sharing your art with us! I get so many compliments when I carry the water bottle with your stickers on it.

ohhhh wow!!! this is so sweet, i absolutely love that you’ll be carrying this little friend around with you. i really enjoy the subtle color variation you did with the paint too, to give it that sort of shiny effect for the gold & the cloudy nebula purples on the body. it really came out so lovely, thank you so much for showing me! ♥

do you know of any other antizionist artists who make jewish/judaica art, especially handmade stuff? my antizionist jewish friend is looking for stuff to put on her wedding registry and obv doesnt want her money funding genocide

yes, i absolutely do - but unfortunately there isn’t (to my knowledge) a handy list of avowedly anti-zionist Jewish artists/shops, for the obvious reason that something like that would put most of us in danger of harassment or worse. i hesitate to make public recommendations on that qualification for the same reason, & also because not everyone feels the same way about the word/label even if our politics are similar.

what i can happily do is point you towards my friend’s Judaica distro - i’m linking to the Instagram page rather than the website because they’ve worked with a lot of artists in various places via pop-up shows & scrolling the gallery is a good way to get a lot more names than just whoever’s in stock right now in the shop section. most (probably not all, but at least a very large percentage) of the artists you can find this way are either openly & proudly anti-zionist or non-zionist. you and/or your friend can scroll & see if anyone’s work catches your eye, then find that person’s individual account or website to see if a) they have any clear political stance & b) they’re selling things currently. it’s a bit more work but there’s a lot of good stuff out there.

i’m also happy to make individual, private recommendations based on type of work - for example if you DM’d me looking for anti-zionist Jewish ceramicists or candlemakers i could give you names right away. lots of folks i know would probably be happy to be recommended publicly as anti-zionist artists - i certainly am - but i don’t want to make that decision for anyone else. i know people personally who have lost their jobs over speaking out publicly against Israel, & not everyone is in a position to be loud/visible that way even if they are doing other things quietly or behind the scenes to support Palestine. best of luck!

wild to see this on my dash right after answering that ask from @goths-eat-electricity - i do still have some reservations about making lists like this, although the framing of “Anti-Zionist and/or Diasporist” may leave enough room for it to not necessarily be used as a “list of anti-zionist Jewish artists.” i just think folks should be aware of the potential for targeting. that said, many people on this list are friends & mutuals who i know are very public about their politics & would have no issue with it.

i appreciate being included! just want to update that my Redbubble shop closed last year - i do have a Threadless & a (sporadically stocked) Etsy shop.

just finished the Kickstarter stretch goal bookplate for Beyond the Pale, which i believe will actually be printed on the inside cover of the books - it’s not too late to pre-order the game, it could be your name on that bottom scroll!

the designs & lettering on the hands making the priestly blessing are a reference to a famous illustration from a Kabbalistic text called the Shefa Tal (with some changes, such as removing the tetragrammaton)
