Asking for Funds, Part 2

It's baaaaaaack! My crowd funding campaign part 2. Over there, on the sidebar >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I've done some math, and the upcoming bills are daunting.
Any contribution is helpful -- even a dollar! I'm not kidding!

Here's a Wawa or Pilot reward (depending upon whether you choose paper or aluminum as the substrate) to whet your appetite:

For all of you from round 1 waiting to see photos, sorry for the delay.
Still working out the logistics.
Thank you for your patience!

Greetings from 02909

HUGE "thanks" to everyone that contributed to my IndieGoGo campaign!

It ended with a whimper, due to a lack of WiFi. I was unable to spam friends with beseeching emails, which maybe is for the better. I'll be running a part 2 starting May 1 and already shot some video footage when I was on Block Island. [Note to IndieGoGo: make a better mobile version so we can run our campaigns on the fly!] 

Selfie still from video

I'm having an extended rest stop in Providence with my good friends Patucci and Mark. They have been so generous over the years, housing me when I was at loose ends in the 90s (I stayed almost a whole summer with them one year). I'm reveling in great food, a comfortable bed, seeing old friends, and a little shopping.

While here, I'm continuing to process the Waterlogue images and have almost finished the Southern Edge. Not sure how soon I'll get those all posted (or where) but I need to get some press images selected to send to my gallery for the show I'll be having starting mid-June. Maybe I'll let you all choose your favorites (I think I need six). Oh yeah, I have to get my announcement cards printed too. Details, details.

Maybe this image of an old gas station, somewhere in TX?

Funding is at 25% WooHoo!

GIFTED/ LINKS/

Thank you everyone that has donated to my IndieGoGo campaign!!! This morning, I went over the $2000 mark. Very exciting!

I've been doing a "miles for $$" graphic over on the campaign (in lieu of a video, which I never finished). Today, I'm past southern Texas on the $$ map and couldn't be happier.

There are 24 days left to donate. No amount is too small!

OK, back to packing. Less than 24 hours until departure. Eeeeek!

First Samples of Prints on Metal

CREATED/ LINKS/ 

[This is a reprint of my first update over on my IndieGoGo campaign, with some modifications]

Big "Thank you" to everyone that has contributed!  You are all on the "AAA" list!

First samples came in for the Pilot perk!
The Pilot is a digital watercolor printed on aluminum.
It will come with a flush mounted frame.

I got a sample pack from Bay Photo of the four possible finishes. I added float mounts to them, since the flush mounted frames weren't available for that size.

The final will have more white space around the image, I was limited to 4x6" for the special sampling deal. Going with the Satin finish (bottom left). Next I'll get an actual size (5x7") sample with the proper frame. So far, really happy with the quality.

I have to thank my fellow TAG Gallery artist Christo Brock for the concept of printing images on metal. It's a great alternative to "paper under glass".

I'll be using this format for my TAG show in June.
