Supporting the BLM Movement With Art

June 4, 2020

Life couldn’t be any more restless than it is now. The recent news of George Floyd and his unnecessary death is so sad and everyone is hurt. It’s 2020 and it’s time we all stick together and stand up for one another. White, yellow, brown, black, whatever color we are. Right now, there’s numerous organizations we can donate to provide support for the #BlackLivesMatter movement. Some of these organizations would be the Minnesota Freedom Fund, Reclaim the Block, Black Visions Collective, Unicorn Riot and more.

Other people, like artists, are showing support through their drawings, stickers, and enamel pins, etc. Although some of us may not have money to donate, we do have time that we can donate to support the movement.

Pin this!

I Support the BLM Through Art

For me, I’ve decided I’d support the movement with donation commissions. From now until Wednesday, June 17th, anyone who donates $10+ to any organization related to the cause and sends me a timestamped screenshot of their donation will get a commission from me. This commission will be a simple animal / food / human artwork as a way of showing my thanks. I’m hoping this encourages people who can give, to give.

Other Artists In Support of BLM

There are so many other artists that are trying to use their art and their own shop to support the BLM movement. Some of them are listed below!

Alina – Shop Choobi

Alina is from California USA and has a very cute shop that reminds you that it’s okay to cry and let it out sometimes! Check out what she’s doing for the movement.

She is having an enamel pin giveaway where you can get an entry to win all of the pins she’s ever made if you send her a screenshot of your donation.

 

Miri – Noristudio

Miri is a great artist who draws simple and aesthetically cute guinea pigs, capybaras, and other adorable animals!

Her seconds enamel pin sale for the entire month of June will be donated to Black Girls Code, an organization whose goal is to increase the number of women of color in the digital technology space by introducing girls 7-17 to Computer Science. “Seconds” refer to slightly imperfect products but the imperfections are hardly noticeable to most of us! I love supporting artists by purchasing their seconds pins.

 

Lara – Capybalara

Lara is an illustrator from the US who loves capybaras and Animal Crossing! She’s having donation commissions!

Vivian – Sugar Cubed Studios

Vivian is an artist from Texas, USA and has a large variety of cute enamel pins, bags, apparel, and more!

All the proceeds for the “Akai Ito” pin as well as 25% of the proceeds from other sales will go towards NAACP Legal Defense & Educational Fund.

 

Leo – Kittynaut

Leo is having a fundraiser pin where all proceeds go towards blacklivesmatter.com! In one day, they raised $3,299.76! Here’s the cute and magical pin that fights for love and justice.

These are just a handful of artists among MANY who are using their art to support the BLM movement. It’s different but I love that we are able to use our skills and talents to support a very important matter today! If you know other artists who are contributing their skills and shops to the cause, feel free to list it in the comments below!

So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gif So maybe this is Influenster's early Christmas gift to me ?🤣 I got to try this sakura pink metallic color on my hair and as I expected, the color didn't show up as it showed on the box. I said in the survey I have black hair and still some remnants of blonde in my hair, but not much? Still, somehow I got chosen for this campaign 🤣 it DID however turn my roots a nice reddish brown color? The ends where my hair was blonde are purplish pink. I really wish I was back to full blonde so I could try this out! It would look soo pretty. Regardless, even though it didn't work as I suspected, I still appreciate the color tinting 🤭💖 TLDR: it works! But you need fairly light hair for it to work. Even the box says so. 🤣🙈

Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in schoo Hello! 🥰 Long time no see eh? I'm back in school after a week break for Thanksgiving. I actually got a decent picture of myself during Thanksgiving but forgot to post it hehe 😆 we spent Wednesday night at my cousin's new house for Thanksgiving and then had more Thanksgiving food during Thanksgiving. 🤣 I'm so stuffed but I miss the blueberry pies and pecan pies! They went too fast 😭😭 Also, meet Chewy, my cousin's toy poodle 🥺 isn't he cute? He doesn't wriggle around when you hold him which is the sweetest thing 😍😆

I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @inf I was kindly given a Care Package Voxbox from @influenster because they know I'm gonna be dying now that school has started back up again. 🤪🤪🤣 I am actually running out of toner so I am so freaking glad part of this care package involved the @humphreyswitchhazel toner! I've never tried anything with witch hazel but it's something I'm eager to try. 
.
I don't do much for my hair either so I think Influenster knew I needed to treat my hair with more love. When I have free time this weekend I'll be trying the @garnierusa hair mask and let y'all know what I think! It kinda makes me nervous because my hair gets so greasy but idk maybe that doesn't affect that?? 😆 And of course, super grateful for the @advilrelief because I can never get enough pills in me to treat my headaches cause it's the time for me to apply to universities...🙃 Can you believe it?! I'm graduating community college (again) in may 2021 and will be transferring soon for my bachelor's!! So crazy!🙈

I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad I've been dead in this account and I know it's bad, I honestly sometimes feel like deleting this account but I think of why I started this in the first place and it makes me sad I've kinda left it... But I like to say I'm just moving on to different goals and that's okay! I still don't know what I'll do with this account, maybe I'll leave it open and just post occasional (really it's rarely... honestly, who am I kidding 😂) photos if I'm somewhere exciting and new! Or flower pics 😂
