#BlackLivesMatter
Drawing for Donations

  • This is a fundraiser in support of Black Lives Matter, and these specific causes.

  • Please donate a minimum of $20 USD.

  • In return, I will draw something for you!

  • If you are interested:

    • See “How to participate” and “What you’ll get” below

    • Send me a DM with the requested information/materials.

How to participate:

  1. SEND RECEIPTS:
    DM me a screenshot of your donation receipt of at least $20 USD to one of these efforts, or any other similar BLM-related cause (Receipt must be dated same day of DM please; trying to garner more new donations)

  2. TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT:
    DM me a reference photo you would like drawn

    • For donations of $50–99, pick between two styles

    • For donations of $100+, pick a style, and also let me know if you want anything else (see below)

  3. LET ME DO IT:
    I will send you your drawing as soon as I finish. (Please allow time for me to complete your drawing, as I work during the day. Thank you!)

What you’ll get:

All donors will receive a digital 2000x2000px JPG file of the requested drawing, via Instagram DM. Donate what you can, but to hopefully encourage larger donations, I’m offering the following options:

For donations of $20–$49 USD:

Donations of $20–49 will receive a drawing in the following style:

For donations of $50–$99 USD:

Donations of $50–$99 will receive a drawing in their choice of the style above or below. (Please allow additional time for the style below. Thank you!)

For donations of $100+ USD:

For donations of $100 or more, both of the above styles are offered, and as an added benefit, please let me know ahead of time* if you would also like any of the following:

  • A file created larger than 2000x2000px. For example, if you’re planning on getting it printed, let me know the size you want/need, and I’ll do my best to accommodate. (FYI, 2000x2000px digital files are fine for sharing via social media and devices, but are not ideal for prints larger than 10x10 inches.)

  • Download of the layered Photoshop file. This is most useful if you and/or someone you know may be making edits to the final drawing (playing with colors, backgrounds), and/or if you plan on using this for other types of printed material (T-shirt, design, etc.), which you will have the rights for.

  • A 1 minute timelapse of the drawing as it’s being drawn. Makes interesting social media content!

* Please be sure to let me know if you want ANY of these, when you send your photo in. Some of them can not be changed once I start, and due to limited time and my own digital storage capacity, I will not be redoing anything. Thank you for understanding!

Or, if you have any questions/concerns, or don’t have an Instagram account but want to participate, you can email me:

Thank you!

Regardless of what you ultimately are able to donate, thank you for supporting #BlackLivesMatter. Be sure to check out other ways you can help. If you’ve donated all you can and/or are unable to donate, there are also other ways to help, including signing petitions, “donating without money”, and of course, sharing awareness/information, and taking this time to learn.

I also encourage other artists to participate in something similar! This is a great way to use your abilities to support positive change.

Be safe. Love always,
