What a sweet and powerful gesture. It's frustrating when people say "what do you expect them to do? they're entertainers not activists!" look at how simple this gesture of solidarity is and how resonant it is! This is wonderful.

STATEMENT FROM THE ARTIST:

To anyone who may see this,

I don’t have a large following, I’m not a popular artist, nor do I have a large overall influence online. Despite this, I still exist online and I exist as an artist in this world. Although I have been trying to spread awareness through reposting videos/resources via other social media, it felt wrong to not make my own personal statement.

As of now, I don’t really have a career as an artist. I’ve yet to build one, but I have a lot of big dreams I hope to accomplish some day. And even with nothing to lose & everything the gain, it was still important to me to declare the following:

If you’re a person in the world today, you should know that Palestine and it’s people have been suffering from some of the most inhumane treatment I have witnessed in my lifetime. I’ve witnessed countess men women and children be brutally attacked without access or food, water & resources. It’s wrong, it’s genocide & it’s happening thanks in large part to the United States & it’s government. Listen to those who advise you to speak up, spread awareness, bear witness & never stop advocating for justice to prevail.

That is why, as long as I am an artist, I will stand with Palestine. I will not makes excuses for their torture on behalf of any country or company. If any and all money I ever stand to make as an artist is blood money, I’d rather have no money. I hope that anyone who ever comes across my art knows exactly where I stand.

If there’s anything I can do to “effectively” use my platform on this here internet is draw Sonic the Hedgehog, so be it. It’s fitting, my love for this character is what made me want to be an artist in the first place. What use would being an artist be if it wasn’t to spread a message I believe in? So here, I was inspiring by the cover of Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog Issue #236.

From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be Free.
