It’s a good idea to feed Black Ferk!
Support the studio’s artistic work and help create recognition for one of the most invisible groups of people in our society!
There are different options for supporting Black Ferk:
- By purchasing artworks.
- By donation.
70% of the sales go towards the studio’s artistic work.
30% to ME/CFS research or NGOs.
For example: You are interested in an artwork for 100 euros and receive it for 70 euros if you donate 30 euros to one of the suggested organizations.
