The Iranian Regime is going to execute rapper Toomaj Salehi for supporting protests of Jina Amini’s murder by the regime in his songs.

Iranian activist Elica Le Bon says, “Iranians in the diaspora picked up on the fact that the regime tends not to execute people who become known to the international community. We have seen many examples of prisoners that were either released on bail or had their sentences commuted through our “say their names to save their lives” campaign on social media, using hashtags to garner attention for their causes, and even before social media existed, through getting the stories of political prisoners to international media outlets. Once reported on, and once the eyes shift to the regime and the reality of its pending brutality, realizing that the action is not worth the repercussions, we have seen them back down and not execute. For that reason, this is part of an urgent campaign for readers to talk about Toomaj as much as you can, using the hashtag #FreeToomaj or #ToomajSalehi. Every comment makes a difference, and if we were wrong, what did we lose by trying?”

Hi everyone! Recently I had the chance to work on an illustration that will be the cover art for a poem collection called “Pluto” written by Frankie Sims.

Working on this piece was both fun and challenging due to a tight deadline and an abundance of ideas to choose from (and I’m a really indecisive person! 😆) Although the author knew what emotions they would like to portray through the cover illustration, I was given the artistic freedom to come up with my own suggestions for how it could be translated into art. Many sketches and drafts later we ended up with the picture that you can see above! ☺️🫶

I had the chance to already read a few poems that will be included in this collection and I’m looking forward to reading them all once “Pluto” is published. Please check out Frankie’s instagram account for more details and updates on the book! 👇

love how when i get a new interest, i’m like “oh god it’s happening again” and i’m stuck like that for about a week until everything explodes and any interest i’ve had prior is completely dwarfed for an unknown amount of time
