It's my birthday on the 18th October and I'd like to raise money to send to the Russian LGBT Network. They're often subject to fines and allegations of 'foreign influence' from the government, meaning their operating costs are always high. They also operate an LGBT helpline and are working to save the lives of people fleeing Chechnya, which is obviously expensive.

As someone who's had an interest in Russia since my early teens, and who owes a large debt to that country for how much it's influenced my creative work, I'd like to help out a community I feel particularly invested in. You get rewards for donating:

£20 gets you a sketch of you choice.

£30 gets you a clean, inked sketch.

£40 gets you a full colour picture.

Contact me after you've donated if you want any of those rewards, or just donate as a birthday present to me. On the 19th October, I'll send the money to the organisation and post a screenshot of the confirmation email or page.
