I was very honored to be asked to do a commission of Hossam, a father who was killed in Gaza in March of 2024. A friend commissioned me this as a holiday gift to her sister, who was friends with Hossam. While it is extremely heavy and heartbreaking, this portrait was so meaningful to me. Like many other people, I have been angered and disgusted by Israel’s genocide on Palestine. To this date 69,000 reported people (likely many more) were killed as a part of Israel’s operation. Too many innocent families who had no ties to Hamas whatsoever have been killed in the Gaza strip. This is Israel’s desire to take over Palestinian land and build Israeli settlements. It was such an honor to do this commission and to see the tears that came out of the sister’s eyes when she recieved her present.
I have posts with links to the process videos of the Hossam piece that you can watch:
Colored pencils and POSCA markers and COPIC markers on a 20”x13” illustration board.
