Nevertheless, she persisted
I'm rather overwhelmed right now. A piece I drew this morning has gone viral on Facebook. If you happen to see this without attribution somewhere, it's mine. I drew it in response to Mitch McConnell's words in silencing Sen. Elizabeth Warren's reading of Coretta Scott King's letter, and for all the women I've run into who don't think they need feminism. It's amazing that something so simple can resonate with so many.

Would love to purchase a print of this. Do you sell any of your artwork?
ReplyDeleteI love this.
ReplyDeleteI echo Jacqueline's comment. I want to buy a print of this!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for creating something that so speaks to my experience of being a woman. It's a real and hopeful piece of art!

I would also love a print of this...or a t-shirt. Consider putting it up on Redbubble or Teespring or something? -Wendy
ReplyDeleteI want to purchase an original of this. Most powerful art work and commenting I have seen. Please let me know the cost and where to send the check. You have made an impact today.
ReplyDeleteI'm being asked a lot about prints. I'm extremely busy today with kid scheduling and general life (curse you, narcolepsy), but a few friends and I are working on figuring out print options.
ReplyDeleteHoping that life gives you the chance to make prints! This will be on my birthday request list if you do.

fabulous graphic--my husband is in licensing and would love to talk to you about licensing ideas. Are you interested? do you have contact info? thanks!
ReplyDeleteTerrific piece - captures the moment and the mood. I'd love to create a post card using this for my notes to senators, representatives, etc. Please let me know if that is okay or if you are working on options for people to purchase from you.
ReplyDeleteLike so many, I also love this drawing! It perfectly captures this moment. I made a "nevertheless she persisted" bracelet and also got overwhelmed with demand. I'd love to send you one as a thank you gift for your contribution to our national conversation, if that's of interest to you? https://alison-wonderland-jewelry.myshopify.com/products/the-liz-warren-nevertheless-she-persisted-copper-bracelet. You can reach me at alisonwonderlandjewelry at gmail if so. And thanks again. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney! I'm a lifestyle writer for Bustle.com (one of the largest digital news outlets for women). I'd love to do a feature on your drawing and interview you. Please email me at wendyluwrites@gmail.com. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteYES, can't wait to see purchase options!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely purchase. I would love for you to be a guest feature on my blog over at www.shopcompliment.com @shopcompliment on IG. What is the best email for me to reach you?
ReplyDeleteI would also love a print. Can't wait until it's available for purchase.
ReplyDeleteCourtney, I would love to get a tattoo that's inspired by this. Would you be willing to let me do this?
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a cool idea. I'm fine with people using the image for personal use or creating their own variations of it.
DeleteAwesome. I'll be sure to share!
DeletePrinting options...YES please! For this and for the version for boys. I want to hang them in my English classroom.
ReplyDeleteMy Zazzle shop should be stocked shortly. The products are there, they just haven't been added to the store page yet (should be totes and more t-shirts by this evening and 11x14 prints tomorrow morning). It's kind of bare bones at the moment since I've been sick. I'll make a post about it once more of the store is up. This is a charity project for me (all proceeds will be donated to two charities that lift people from the darkness and help them keep persisting), and just let me know if there is a product you are interested in that I don't have yet. https://www.zazzle.com/keep_persisting
