Sketches for eSIMs

2024-ongoing | digital
These are some pet portraits I've done in exchange for eSIM donations! Want one?

Donate 2 eSIMs to Connecting Humanity (@connectinghumanity_ on ig), and I'll draw a mini-portrait of an object or creature that is precious to you.

WHAT ARE eSIMS?

ESIMs are digital SIM cards that allow people to activate a cellular plan and connect to networks without a physical SIM card. With damage to infrastructure and frequent internet blackouts, eSIMs are often the only way for people in Gaza to stay connected to the world and each other. Students attempting to continue their education in demolished buildings, medics trying to reach injured civilians after airstrikes, and family members separated from each other by the military blockade all use eSIMs to communicate.

HOW IT WORKS:

1. Follow the instructions here to donate at least 2 30-day eSIMs.

2. After sending to gazaesims@gmail.com, ALSO forward the eSIM emails to commish@mollybrooks.com as proof of purchase, along with a (brief) sketch prompt and up to 4 reference images.

WHAT YOU GET:

For every 2 eSIMs you donate, you'll receive a digital sketch of a beloved object or creature as a print-quality file (about 5x5in).

Please allow 3 weeks for completion.

EXAMPLES:


your pet
houseplant
espresso machine
bicycle

NO:


humans
multiples
landscapes
abstract concepts

Celebrate something that brings you joy, and which will motivate you to fight for every person's right to joy.

Ceasefire now.

Free Palestine.
