Announcing SAINT SENTINEL, a special fundraising campaign and exciting collaboration between Chris Shaw, UNITED24, and Saint Javelin. Using art, the goal is to raise $150,000 for a lifesaving, AI-controlled, air defense turret for Ukraine – the Sky Sentinel. The Sky Sentinel directly saves lives by intercepting incoming russian drones and missiles, destroying them before they can reach homes, hospitals, or schools.
I have donated an original Saint Javelin painting to this important fundraiser and worked alongside United24 and SaintJavelin.com to produce a new artwork, SAINT SENTINEL. Based on Saint Javelin, her weapon has been updated again and now features the Sky Sentinel turret that protects Ukrainian cities. Like Saint Javelin, Saint Sentinel is a protector.
• By donating $10 to the Saint Sentinel fundraiser you will get a chance to win one of only TEN very limited edition Saint Sentinel t-shirts – made in Ukraine by Saint Javelin.com .
• With a $24 donation you will enter the raffle for the Saint Javelin painting. It’s a really nice painting, made in 2022, it’s the last of a series of five I created specifically to aid Ukraine.
The raffle and fundraiser are being held by UNITED24 – donations go directly to Ukraine.

The collaboration:
UNITED24 is the official fundraiser for Ukraine, and the initiative of president Zelenskyy. Also known as U24, they have raised over 1.8 billion dollars to aid Ukraine and its fight against russian invasion.
SAINT JAVELIN, has raised millions for Ukraine. Starting with a sticker, Saint Javelin has built a diverse line of merchandise and is committed to rebuilding Ukraine. Saint Javelin’s online presence was a significant driver of the images viral rise and has also effectively countered russian disinformation through memes.
CHRIS SHAW: I have always felt art should be more than viewed, it can make an impact in our world. As the creator of the original image, I have wanted her to ‘do good things’ after her transformation into Saint Javelin, the symbol. If I can use my artwork to proactively help save someone’s life or home by destroying a drone, thats a good thing.
I’d like to thank everyone at UNITED24, Christian Borys and the team at Saint Javelin, and everyone behind the scenes that coordinated to make this cool fundraiser happen. To Peaceful Nights!
