I launched Art of Raqs as a way to raise funds for charity, using my illustrations of famous raqs sharqi dancers. I have since designed way more products than my initial concept for a quick “tee shirt fundraiser” - you can buy many kinds of clothes, homewares, stationary, and more.

This “Make Art Not War” spoof of Shepard Fairey’s poster was a tribute to one of my most influential dance teachers, Crystal Silmi. In honor of her decades of creative activism, I designed this shirt as a fundraising campaign for PCRF with all profit going to their vital humanitarian work.
I am currently available for custom work, whether you wish to collaborate on fundraising or not - your art, your choice. We can talk about hosting your products on my teemill website, which uses the best, most sustainable, print-on-demand products available. Or, you can print and sell them yourself. Either way, you own the art and can use it however you choose.
Stay Golden
Samia Gamal was my first illustration of an Egyptian Golden Era dancer. I decided to illustrate several of my favorite dancers from this time period. Here’s Kaiti Voutsaki, the personification of joy!
Joy is what brings us back to the dance over and over. Dancing changes my mood almost instantly, especially when I’m with other people.
Now you can spread the joy wherever you go!
The charities I support
My store blog is the best place to learn about my latest fundraiser, and how I choose what to support.
Currently, 100% of my profits from Art of Raqs purchases go to charity.
