I’m sure majority of folks have heard enough of what happened today ( I am greatly livid ) but I hope everyone in the U.S stays safe , keep your doors/windows locked , curtains drawn . Feed and water yourself , turn off social media for the night , and most importantly take care of your mental health especially for all the people of colour out there , it’s a very scary time and I wish you all the best
BLACK ARTIST SUPPORT
I wanted to do a little artist support post to utilize the following I have on here and I want to support more artists on here as well , so if your a black artist promote yourself in the reblog/replies under this post !!!!!!!!!!!!
I will be going through them all eventually and rebloging artworks I like the most on this blog and my wlw blog!!!!!! ( that’s only if people will actually participate so pls spread this around , black artists need all the love especially now )
Pls watch this video and watch all the ads , turn off ad block if you have it and you can mute the website tab while it plays in the background but not YouTube’s video player ( it somehow doesn’t help with revenue to mute the audio that plays through YouTube) . All the revenue is going to black lives matter funds , watch it as much as you can , like and comment to boost the video further and subscribing to the channel will help as well and spread this post further!!!!!! It’s the best way to donate to this cause if you can’t financially!! Don’t skip the ads as well
Also consider supporting artists in support of this movement plenty of amazing artists are doing nearly free commissions for those who donate to any of the blm fundraisers, I’m planning on contributing to that and sharing all the artworks I receive from these artists to help promote them and the cause they are contributing to.
I might do commissions like these myself let me know if any of you would want that , I would do the best I can to keep up if I do recieve requests , my asks boxes are open pls let me know if anyone would actively donate for an art work ( I would most likely make it exclusive to the U.S and Canada if I do it because I will mail the pieces and I will charge for shipping since I can’t afford to pay for shipping prices out of pocket and I will only do small artworks to keep shipping prices low!!!! ) pls let me know in my inbox or message me!!!! I want to to support this movement the best way I can since I’m not able to go to today’s protest in my city my art account will be linked in a different post I will make after this one!!!
