Hello, all. My name is EzRoar. I am an artist from Australia. Currently, my country is going a natural disaster known as Black Summer. Currently, bushfires are ravaging across multiple states, including my own of Victoria. These fires have been going for over a month, continued even through New Years and are still going strong. To give an idea of how much damage has been done …
11, 300, 000 acres have been burnt
An estimated amount of 480 million animals have been killed
About 700 homes have been burnt
Thousands of people have been displaced
Major cities like Melbourne and Sydney have been affected by air pollution
And the worst has yet to come. It’s currently summer right, our hottest season. Bushfires and summer are, right now, a dangerous mix.
So I have opened up commissions of a sort. For every $15+ AUD donation to one of the links here ( https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/dec/21/how-you-can-donate-and-help-the-volunteer-firefighters-in-australias-bushfire-crisis ), I will make a sketch for you.
The conditions of my sketches is that:
If you have made the donation, please show me proof of the receipt. This can be through screenshots, pictures taken on your phone, etc. You can send this towards any of my social media which will be displayed below, along with your name (you can use a pseudonym), contact details (email, social media handles, anything I can message you with, etc) and what you want the sketch to be. It will also take me a while to get through all the requests as well, but I will be setting a document to keep track of all donators and keep in touch with people who have. I will also post updates of my progress up on my Twitter.
This event will be open until the 10th of January, 2019, 8 pm, AEDT.
Your donations can’t stop the fires but it means everything to the people working on the frontlines of this disaster, providing relief and support. Please donate. Every cent counts.

Even if you can’t donate, there is coverage of what’s happening on Twitter at #AustraliaBurns and #AustraliaFires. Raising awareness means a lot as well. My country needs all the help it can get.
I would deeply appreciate it if you reblogged this post to spread awareness.
