Promote Love!

I found another great quote on Pinterest and decided to illustrate it myself.

Being a social justice activist it is easy to get caught up in the negativity; however, I strongly believe in "Promoting what I love instead of bashing what I hate."  Of course there are times that you should stand up against negativity and evil, but even in these situations I strive to do so in a way that may actually lead to some kind of positive change.


If you would like to purchase any of my posters or other art, 10% of all sales will go towards a good cause (The cause depends on the work you purchase.  I am still setting up which organizations will receive the donations).
