this design was born as a response to the 2016 pulse nightclub mass shooting. that attack hit me hard, as someone who grew up in florida and frequented gay bars in orlando that reminded me of pulse when i was a young queer. the phrase "keep loving keep fighting" was one i knew from protest movements, from signs and chants, though it is widely attributed to radical queer author ariel gore.

the phrase is timeless, though, and certainly speaks to the moment we are in right now as the u.s. descends into authoritarianism. we all need to keep fighting the good fight, with love in our hearts, for each other, for our democracy.

i've hand-printed this design many times but wanted to offer it as a print-on-demand campaign so folks could have more choices as to shirt colors, sizes and styles than what i can print at home.

as i am slowly trying to build my art business back up again so i can move further away from my pet business, i appreciate your support of my t-shirt designs. more info about my art and design at artbymags.com.
