Japanese artist Takashi Murakami announced that he would be creating a limited-edition collection of 300 prints with his signature flower and skull designs in support of the Black Lives Matter cause.

Now, it is available to purchase via the shopping app NTWRK. Each print is priced at US$800, and buyers will be picked through a lottery to purchase one out of six prints he has created for the movement.

The full proceeds from the sales will head towards various organizations “dedicated to changing the systems oppressing the Black Community,” including the Black Lives Matter movement, Equal Justice Initiative, and Color of Change.
