Sketch. Despite his years of torture in #Assad ‘s prisons, my friend #MazenAlHummada saw hope in the kindness, compassion, and soul of others. We can not fail #Mazen and his fellow #detainees still suffering and dying in #Syria . Mazen has been missing 637 days. We are his voice. December 4, 2021

Sketch from eyewitness photo. A few days ago this little girl was murdered by an #Assad #Putin air strike on #civilians in #Syria. I draw these stolen lives because I don’t want to just scroll by, I want to spend time with them. Their lives deserve mourning , action, and justice. November 27, 2021

Sketch from eyewitness photo. On a lonely road near #Afrin #Syria an elderly man succumbed to the cold. His hands, clenched in death, cradled a baby’s head, his wife’s cheek. He deserved more than this. His home and his world were stolen by war. November 21, 2021
Sketch from eyewitness photo. The ruined foot of an #asylum seeker, freezing and starving to death in the hellish limbo between #Poland and #Belarus . Anyone who is so desperate for a better, safer, life, that they would endure such suffering, deserves our compassion and love. November 20, 2021
