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.
Clothes and gifts for a cause
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.
Make Art Not War
This is a tribute to one of my most influential dance teachers, and honors Crystal's creative activism. In the twenty years I've known her, she has consistently worked to create a more peaceful and sustainable world, both in and out of the dance community.
This collaboration is a fundraising campaign for PCRF with all profit going to their vital humanitarian work. My artwork echoes the classic protest design by Shepard Fairey, a fresh use of his slogan.
Ever since the anti-war movement of the 60s and beyond, people have been asking - don’t you have anything better to do? Love, art - or many other ways of lending a helping hand where it’s most needed.
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!
