Looking for artists I could commission for anticapitalist-socialist art (piefed.blahaj.zone)

Sorry for bringing politics into this space, I'm only doing so to ask for artist suggestions.

I'm a musician in the fandom who usually makes soft synth-pop, but I also love heavier genres and have been working on some very rage-fueled hardcore songs for the past year or so. Is anyone aware of artists who wouldn't mind drawing anti-capitalist/socialist themes for me? Heck, maybe you are one yourself, in which case I'm really interested in looking at your portfolio!
If you need a baseline for what kind of art I'm hoping to commission, I can confirm they'll be at least one flag burning, if not two. I'm interested in artists of all styles, but I tend to lean towards toony stuff, and honestly, having such visceral imagery portrayed in a cute, fluffy style really speaks to me. It sends a message of "Love and kindness doesn't mean letting yourself be walked over. Quite the opposite, as those things should be fought for." Damn, that's... almost a lyric I could fit in somewhere. lol

Recommend you change the title of this post to replace "political art" to explicitly state "anticapitalist/socialist art". You're sure to get more enthusiasm that way, fellow comrade 🤝💖

And idk if they're open for comms at the moment, but the first artist that comes to mind is HearthFox (has recently done "don't kinkshame" art in goofy rubberhose/Looney Tunes style)

Other artists that come to mind that do Lefty and/or punk-rock themes: DeoTasDevil, Strype, Denucard -- they don't have "toony" styles, but they probably know someone who does

Thank you, comrade~ It's funny, I actually called it "political art" bc I thought being a furry on Piefed (especially the big trans/queer instance) almost implied that from the get-go, but I get how the title could drive people away.

And thank you, I'll be sure to check them out! I like other art styles, of course, and I'll be happy just to have more artists to follow X3
