Wouldn't it be cool if someone adapted Frankenstein with an entire cast of trans actors?

Oh hey, we're doing that! But we need your help to fund it!

The aim of this project is to ensure Filipino artists, who are historically overworked and underpaid (like, $50 a week underpaid) can get paid for their art, which makes up half of this Kickstarter's goal!

The other half is to cover printing and delivery~

Help us hit 20% before the weekend!

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Here! Various versions in case anyone prefers one format over others. I used 32ct linen, 2x2 for the crosses, 1 strand for backstitch, but in hindsight kinda wish I used sewing thread for the backstitch for a finer outline at this tiny scale? The floss looks ok though!

And a couple of minor notes:
