They Do Not Exist (1974) by Mustafa Abu Ali (watch)

from PalestineCinema.com:

Salvaged from the ruins of Beirut after 1982, Abu Ali's early film has only recently been made available. Shooting under extraordinary conditions, the director, who worked with Godard on his Ici et Ailleurs (Here and Elsewhere), and founded the PLO's film division, covers conditions in Lebanon's refugee camps, the effects of Israeli bombardments, and the lives of guerrillas in training camps. They Do Not Exist is a stylistically unique work which demonstrates the intersection between the political and the aesthetic. Now recognised as a cornerstone in the development of Palestinian cinema, the film only received its Palestine premiere in 2003, when a group of Palestinian artists "smuggled" the director to a makeshift cinema in his hometown of Jerusalem (into which Israel bars his entry). Abu Ali, who saw his film for the first time in 20 years at this clandestine event noted: "We used to say 'Art for the Struggle', now it's 'Struggle for the Art'"

Today is Nakba day, please take the time to educate yourself - 

The Nakba, meaning catastrophe in arabic, is the event marking the mass murder and expulsion of Palestinians in 1948 during Israel’s creation as a deliberate and systemic act to create Jewish Majority state. 

By the numbers: between 750,000 and one million Palestinians were expelled and made refugees in 1948 by Zionist militias, more than 530 Palestinian villages and towns were destroyed or repopulated by settlers, over 15,000 dead Palestinians, and 70 massacres committed against Palestinians, and approximately 4,244,776 acres of stolen land - when Palestinians say this state is built on our graves - we mean it in the most literal sense. 

On top of all of this, there are over 7 million Palestinian refugees today, which includes Nakba survivors, their descendants, and Palestinians who were expelled in events after the Nakba - who are denied their legal right of return (which is internationally recognized).

It is critical to understand the Nakba if you want to support Palestine, and how Palestinians, 74 years later, cannot reclaim their stolen land, homes, and belongings.  And not only that, but to many, the Nakba never ended. Palestinians are still having their homes stolen or demolished, still in refugee camps, still having to deal with settlers encroaching on their land and committing acts of violence against them, Palestinians are still being murdered and left under brutal settler military occupation. 

If you want to read and learn more about Palestinians from Palestinian voices please check out Decolonize Palestine. Al Jazeera has a database here on destroyed Palestinian villages as well you can look at. 

And I will leave my friend’s post here about more ways to amplify Palestinian voices. From river to sea, Palestine will be free, we will return.

How long does August take to style his mane?

But sometimes he has to tame it...

Do you have a digital brush you recommend/ could you show us what you use for trad?

I use a handful of textured Clip Studio brushes for lineart (Mugman, Dry Brush, Broken Inker). I really like the dry looks you can get with some, but they're not anything super special-- usually programs already come with brushes like that. Sometimes, if you toy with the opacity/blend modes, you can make them looks more like traditional inks! As for coloring, I use brushes that emulate watercolors and markers. Texture Supply Co. and Retro Supply both have some amazing tools for that!

As for traditional, I can't stress how much you can do with a simple ballpoint pen and alcohol markers. That's my go-to. I use about 9 colors in total and mix/blend to get different ones. I'm not picky about brands, as long as it doesn't smear terribly. I use Uniball Signa for most traditional art. But the thing I am picky about is my paper. I use Doodle paper (like the stuff from the dollar store). It absorbs ink quickly, as well as marker. It's cheap and abundant and I love it!
